Universal Works Austin Wool Fleece Waistcoat

Designed to provide an added layer of insulative warmth when paired with any refined wardrobe, this navy checkered Austin Wool Fleece Waistcoat from Universal Works arrives as a new-season staple from the brand’s latest autumnal release. Made from a breathable yet warming blend of 65% wool and 35% polyester, this sleeveless vest is styled to a regular fitting with dark-grey binding across its seams, straight-cut hemline and across its flexible, bomber-esque neckline. A full-length YKK zipper can be seen across the front and helps provide additional styling options to suit, whilst the deep-set hand warmer pockets above the waist mark the perfect storage space for must-have items when not in use. Navy, grey and washed yellow plaid-style detailing decorates the entirety of the design, with the colour-matching zip pull added for practicality.

Having collaborated with adidas in 2019 and Sebago this year, heritage-inspired Universal Works is a brand that prides itself on its premium-quality reputation and their dedication to classic utilitarian aesthetics. Launched in late 2008 by David Keyte, Universal Works continues to uphold its trend-breaking appeal through yet another season with the introduction of its highly-anticipated FA20 release.
