With its dark chocolate colouring and its traditional appeal, this Melton Overcoat from Universal Works hosts a refined sense of character that honours the brand’s undying appreciation for classic workwear profiles. Made from a comfort-minded blend of 80% wool and 20% polyamide for a cooler yet well-covered wear, this long sleeve overcoat has been tailored to a regular fitting with non-invasive sleeves, a straight-cut hemline and a full-length 5-button placket that flows immediately through the centre of the chest from its delicately curved, pointed-collar neckline. The soft-touch exterior provides an added layer of textual depth to the design, whilst the slant-entry slash pockets across each side-seam and the slightly angled pocket across the left-chest supplies the wearer with ample storage to suit any smart casual setting.

Known for their influential collaborations with the likes of Paul Smith and Maharishi, Universal Works is a brand that isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo with something that honours traditional British culture. Combining heritage ideas with ageless workwear profiles and muted colour palettes, David Keyte and the Universal Works team have continued to complement the industry with a refined sense of character that caters to the exact needs of any contemporary setting.
