A practical autumnal staple designed with comfort and insulative protection in mind, this sandy-toned Lancaster Mountain Fleece Gilet from Universal Works combines traditional workwear appeal with contemporary desire to create a profile well-suited to any active setting. Crafted from 65% acrylic and combined with 35% polyester for a soft and gentle feel across the skin, this sleeveless gilet is styled to a regular fitting with a straight-cut hemline, an open v-neck collar and a 5-button placket for an easier sense of wear. Neutral-toned ribbed binding can be seen across the seams to help implement a rigid sense of structure across all high-stress areas, whilst the two spacious drop-pockets above the waist host ample storage space for must-have accessories and gadgets.

Addressing the change in seasons with a refreshing collection of jackets and outerwear staples, British lifestyle brand Universal Works continues to combine functional fashion with heritage-inspired profiles to generate a sought-after aesthetic that speaks to the many. Shaped by founder David Keyte’s industrial experience and personal roots within the UK’s blue-collar setting, Universal Works is a brand that isn’t deterred by simplified stylings, muted colour tones or ageless trims.
