Description

With the Advance Cardigan, Universal Works reinterprets a traditional menswear staple with a more generous and relaxed construction. Sitting somewhere between a cardigan and a jacket, it can be worn either as a mid-layer or as a lightweight outer layer.

The Raven Fleece is a wool-rich knit with a soft and slightly felted surface created through a specific finishing process. Its herringbone pattern adds structure and depth to the fabric, while maintaining an excellent balance of warmth and lightness.

The Advance Cardigan prioritises comfort with its relaxed, boxy fit. Its two large front pockets reinforce its functional character, while the elasticated hem with drawcord allows the silhouette to be adjusted and helps retain warmth.

Its button fastening and flexible construction make it easy to wear over a T-shirt or shirt, as well as a mid-layer underneath a jacket or coat when temperatures drop.

The Brown colour particularly highlights the herringbone pattern of the Raven Fleece, bringing a warm brown tone that pairs easily with the natural shades of an autumn-winter wardrobe.

Fit

The Raven Fleece Advance Cardigan has a relaxed, boxy fit, designed to provide comfort and ease while allowing for layering.

To retain the characteristic volume of the model and allow it to be worn over a shirt or lightweight sweater, we recommend taking your usual size.

Why we selected it

We like the Advance Cardigan for its position between a cardigan and a jacket. Its simple and functional construction is enhanced by a particularly interesting wool fabric that gives the piece warmth, texture and character.

The combination of a wool-rich knit, a generous fit and functional details typical of Universal Works makes it an especially versatile piece, equally at home in a workwear wardrobe or a more relaxed outfit.

The Brown colour further enhances this versatility: a warm, natural brown that pairs equally well with indigo denim, ecru, olive, beige or other earthy tones.
