Carde Tweed Topcoat

Story

Timeless good style in tweed houndstooth

Our modern performance gear may climb mountains, but it can't hold a candle to the classic good looks of a wool coat. The Carde Tweed sports a dapper, houndstooth pattern that can be paired with a white tee and vintage sneakers for a more relaxed look, or worn over a blazer to go all out in the style department. And thanks to its wool-blend fabric, it'll keep you warm even if it gets a little wet. Four buttons secure the front, and 2 angled pockets provide a place to stow your mitts. Last but not least, a clean, single back vent puts the finishing touch on this timeless, wool coat.

About Universal Works

As a young boy in a working class family in the ‘70s, David Keyte always admired the way his father and uncles would dress—wearing their heritage workwear Monday-Friday and well-tailored suits on the weekends. Then, in the ‘80s, David took note of the flashy sporting styles and the eclectic looks of music subcultures. This fascination with apparel launched what would become a 30-year career in the garment-making game. David apprenticed and learned from style masters like Paul Smith and Maharishi until he struck out on his own, creating Universal Works as his creative outlet after a lifetime of honing his apparel know-how. Universal Works aims to push the industry forward, working with sustainable, responsible factories, and creating small-batch lineups of pieces that last. Every piece is designed with a blend of David’s unique aesthetic and a goal of outlasting today’s trends. Needless to say, we’ll go ahead and trust him and the folks at UW—there’s enough experience in that studio to know what sticks and what doesn’t.
