Universal Works MW Chore Overshirt

Taking on a utilitarian approach, the Universal Works MW Chore Overshirt draws inspiration from military workwear. Made from a crisp cotton poplin woven in a tight plain weave, this overshirt features oversized chest pockets and a hidden button placket which gives a more formal blend to the traditionally casual styling of this outer garment - although an adjustable drawcord at the rear waist allows for a totally customisable fit. It is dyed in an allover sky blue that pairs with lighter summer tones such as white or stonewash jeans.

Universal Works is inspired by David Keyte’s earliest memories of the traditional way the men in his family dressed either for work or on the weekends. During this period he worked as a sign apprentice before developing into fashion, leading to over thirty years of experience with some of the best names in the industry. The company favours small scale production that idealises quality fits and premium designs.
