Universal Works Mens Cardigans

Nottingham-based Universal Works is a contemporary menswear label deeply rooted in its British, working-class family upbringing. Launched by David Keyte in 2009, the idea was ignited and brought to life at David’s kitchen table with a drive to create honest and timeless menswear clothing, underpinned by a deep appreciation of musical and sporting subcultures.

In the early days, David started out as a sign-writer's apprentice, branching out into fashion and working alongside some of the best in menswear fashion, including global names such as Paul Smith and Maharishi. Universal Works quickly gained momentum, and fast forward 30 years, and the label is now well established in the industry, all thanks to its key styles, including fan-favourite Universal Works shirt jackets, gilets & Jackets. Explore the UW menswear collection at END., where everything from the iconic Bakers jacket to pleated track pants will see you from the office to evening drinks with ease.

The silhouettes within the Universal Works menswear collections stay true to the on-going tried-and-tested framework, nodding to its workwear-inspired roots and love of well-crafted design by avoiding the fads of up-coming trends despite the ever-changing world of fashion surrounding them.

And if all that wasn't enough, while remaining grounded in design authenticity, Universal Works honours the simplicity of skilled, small-scale production. The brand works with artisans in the UK and overseas, priding themselves on running alongside factories and people they trust and admire, and that alone is commendable.
