Universal Works
An independent menswear brand co-founded by David Keyte in 2009, Universal Works’ ethos is one based on honest clothing, functional fit and all-round good design. Champions of skilled, small-scale production, producing their premium apparel both in the UK and overseas, Universal Works’ refined aesthetic is one centred around the notion of mixed ideas; understanding heritage, context and contemporary necessity. Inspired by Keyte’s formative years growing up in the Midlands during the ‘70s, the brand’s industrialised utilitarian undertone pairs workwear traditions with modernised casual constructions for a reclaimed narrative true of British streetwear culture.
Having worked alongside the likes of Paul Smith and Maharishi, Keyte’s life work reads as a description of the brand’s DNA, with Universal Works continuing with tradition to celebrate seasonal collaborations with the likes of Birkenstock, Saucony and The German Art Institution. Recent collaborations with Jason Catifeoglou’s Paddington-based The Pilgrim celebrates upcycled everyday stylings crafted from discarded materials and recycled fabrics, with Universal Works continuing the use of 100% organic cotton and premium-choice materials across their militaria-minded collections of classic-coloured apparel. All-season favourites such as the Universal Works bakers jacket, bakers overshirt and utility short-sleeve shirts bring added character to day-on-day wardrobes, with British workwear heritage well and truly placed at the heart of each independent collection.
