RITA | Open front with two deep pockets

Deep pockets. Actual deep pockets, not the decorative kind that fit a receipt.

Women stopped being given pockets a long time ago, and the ones that do turn up are usually stitched on for looks and too shallow to trust with anything. So you carry a bag from the kitchen to the yard, or you hold your phone in one hand all afternoon. Rita has two side pockets that are cut roomy on purpose, and that turns out to change how often a cardigan gets worn.

The pockets sit at the sides at hand height, deep enough for a phone, keys or reading glasses without the weight dragging the front out of shape. The front is open with no fastening, so the cardigan hangs in two clean panels and nothing pulls. The knit has a fine visible texture and the fit is relaxed through the body. Hand wash cold and lay it flat, which is what keeps the pockets sitting flush against the sides.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• The pockets are real ones. Roomy and at hand height, so a phone and keys go in and stay there without the front sagging.
• Nothing to fasten. The open front means no buttons pulling across the chest and no zip to catch, and it goes on over anything.
• Texture instead of pattern. The knit has a fine visible surface, which gives the plain shape something to look at without a print.
• Two quiet colors. Cream and Camel, both of which sit under a coat and over a dress without argument.

How it fits

Relaxed and open fronted, in S through XL. Take your usual size. If you are between two, take the larger one, since this is worn over other clothes and the panels need room to hang straight. Note the range stops at XL. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry, because a machine cycle will pull loaded pockets out of shape. Returns are covered below.

30 days to change your mind

Put your phone and keys in the pockets and walk around the house with it. If it is not right, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee and no conditions attached.
