Kate Middleton wore the Jigsaw Katharine ‘Cloud Cashmere’ Jumper in ‘airforce blue’ during a visit to the Great Bear Rainforest on the small island of Bella Bella in British Columbia, Canada in 2016.
We haven’t seen the Princess wear the cashmere jumper in public since—though I’m certain she’ll have worn it during her down time, spending time with her children or walking around her Norfolk estate. Perhaps it’ll make another appearance at an engagement soon?
Update: Kate might have worn the sweater in public again, in December 2023. TBC

Kate Middleton and Jigsaw:
Kate’s no stranger to Jigsaw. The Princess has worn plenty from the high end high street store over the last 12 years. Below, Kate wearing a pair of so-called ‘puddle pants’ from Jigsaw. She wears these quite often:
Fun fact: Before marrying into the Royal Family, Kate worked at Jigsaw for a brief time. In December 2006, Belle Robinson (the company’s founder) offered Kate a job as an accessories buyer.
There’s a really fascinating article in the London Evening Standard that includes an interview with Mrs. Robinson. She sets the record straight about the job offering and gives a little insight into Kate’s responsibilities at Jigsaw. She also talks about how Kate handled the pressures of the paparazzi.
According to Mrs. Robinson, Prince William’s then-girlfriend pitched in at Jigsaw and wasn’t “precious”. She’d talk to everyone from the van drivers to the girls working in accounting.
While working with Jigsaw, Kate helped designed a necklace for the Junior range with jewellery designer and family friend Clauda Bradby Mrs. Bradby told the London Evening Standard that she’d written to Kate to congratulate her on the new appointment with Jigsaw, and then later Kate got in touch to discuss creating a small pendant together (pictured below).
