UNIVERSAL WORKS

Reversible Mackinaw Jacket

Light Olive Twill/Sherpa

The Mackinaw is a classic of the American outdoors. Here we gave it a contemporary new twist by making it totally reversible. One side is more “classic”, with a great look and function, the other is more irreverent and fun. The Universal Works classic Cotton Twill outer, with quality Sherpa lining and recycled polyester sleeve lining. Insulated with ‘CLO’ technical insulation.

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.
