You want a jacket with some personality, but every bold piece you try on ends up wearing you!

Just imagine a graphic black-and-cream design with real presence, in a shape so simple and so well-proportioned that you are still clearly the one in charge. Now stop imagining, because that balance is what the Ruth is built on.

• A Design With Movement
  Broad ivory and black waves curve around the body rather than running straight across it, and curved lines are far kinder to a figure than horizontal ones. The effect is artful and surprisingly slimming.
• Only Two Colors
  Black and cream is as versatile as a pattern gets. It sits over black trousers, blue denim, grey knits and white shirts without a moment's thought.
• Light Quilted Comfort
  The padding is thin and evenly stitched, so the bold design lies flat and unbroken across the front. Warmth without a hint of puff.
• Clean, Simple Shape
  No belts, no epaulettes, no fuss — a stand collar, a straight zip front and two side pockets. When a design is this graphic, restraint everywhere else is what makes it work.
• Instant Outfit
  Put it over the simplest thing you own and you are dressed. It is the shortcut for the mornings when you have no interest in thinking about clothes.

Bold pieces fail when they turn you into the background. This one keeps you firmly in the foreground, which is why it stops being the jacket you save for something and becomes the one you actually wear.
