Description

Universal Works has been developing its Wool Fleece for many years, a fabric that has become a staple of its collections. Inspired by materials traditionally used in sportswear, this knit combines a wool-rich base with a soft and slightly felted surface.

The result offers an excellent balance of warmth and lightness, while retaining the flexibility inherent to a knitted construction. Universal Works uses this fabric in particular for its waistcoats, cardigans and jackets, designed as layering pieces for cooler days.

The Wool Fleece Cardigan brings this fabric into a simple and functional design. Its button fastening and two patch pockets give it a classic yet practical character, while the knitted construction keeps it comfortable and easy to layer.

It can be worn directly over a T-shirt or shirt, but also naturally works underneath a jacket or coat when temperatures drop.

The Cacao colour brings a warm brown tone that works particularly well with the traditional fabrics and colours of an autumn-winter wardrobe.

Fit

The Wool Fleece Cardigan has a Regular fit, designed to be worn either on its own or as a layering piece.

For a more fitted look, we recommend taking your usual size. If you intend to wear the cardigan over several thicker layers, we recommend considering the next size up.

Why we selected it

We like the Wool Fleece Cardigan for its simplicity and versatility. Softer and less structured than a traditional jacket, it complements the wardrobe by providing an additional layer of warmth while retaining the comfort of a knit.

The combination of a knitted construction, a high proportion of wool and functional details typical of Universal Works makes it an especially easy piece to integrate into a workwear and heritage-inspired wardrobe.

The Cacao colour further enhances this versatility: a deep, natural brown that pairs equally well with indigo denim, moleskin trousers, chinos or olive fatigues.
