Feel what you wear, wear it how you feel – like our evolving states, there are countless ways to wear Vaarie, our signature jacket.
Effortless and easy, down side up or upside down, neat and short or relaxed and long, unadorned or with a pin. This jacket has been a bestseller since it launched as one of our first pieces of knitwear in 2008.

Fit notes
As you’ll see above, this jacket can be turned upside down, and worn to give a different style!
Measurements are very approximate. Due to the stretch, scrunch and drape of the Rigg textile, it’s difficult to get an absolutely exact measurement. The sizes given on the diagrams are for the garments laid flat. When worn the sizes will change as the textile moves—for these garments the dress size guide is a more useful way to choose the best size.
These can be worn well on all body shapes, the textile moves to suit the wearer.
Materials & manufacture
- 65% extra-fine merino wool
- 35% acrylic – a combination of fibres of superior quality and carefully sourced from Italy
- Made in the Shetland Islands, Scotland
- Pin shown for illustration only

The Rigg collection: design process and inspiration
There are many ways in which tradition can inspire. My bestselling knitwear collection, Rigg, borrows a principle from Fair Isle knitting.
Rigg pieces are not influenced by how Fair Isle knitting looks. Instead, inspiration came from the construction of these traditional pieces. In particular I became really interested in how air is knitted into Fair Isle garments, and the way this contributes to warmth and their characteristic, lofty handle.
The reverse of the Rigg knitted textile: tension-creating 'floats' of yarn create pockets of air
By manipulating tension during the knitting process, the Rigg fabric is pulled into soft ridges, which creates the pockets of air in this delightfully squishy fabric.
Great for travelling, Rigg pieces can be rolled up and popped in your bag.
