A new classic in the UW. world and a staff favourite: single pleat front, mid-height rise and a tapered but wide leg from thigh to hem. Woven in Italy by one of the best mills in Prato known for its recycled wool expertise, this fabric is already a firm favourite with the UW. team. Soft and warm, perfect for the colder months.

Universal Works produce contemporary menswear.The company’s first collection launched in 2009 with David Keyte (UW co-founder, director, designer) working from his kitchen table with an aim to make real, honest clothing based on fit and good design, though never over designed.Universal Works was inspired by David’s formative years growing up in a provincial Midlands’ town in the seventies, part of a working-class family that loved to dress well, seeing his Dad and Uncles in their workwear and also when dressing for the weekend. Next, working as a sign-writers apprentice, whilst experiencing the development of eighties sporting and music subcultures.
