Universal Works Zip Gilet in Grey and Charcoal. A sleeveless profile designed to provide an insulative layer of protection when layered with any casual wardrobe, this 65% wool 35% polyester Universal Works gilet arrives as a checkered silhouette from the brand’s latest AW21 release. Inspired by the aesthetic appeal of classic utilitarian workwear, this grey tone gilet features a full length two-way YKK zip fastening, bold black taped seams, a contoured hemline and an open V-neck collar. Two spacious patch pockets above the waist offer ample storage space to suit, whilst the single left side pocket provides the wearer with storage for smaller items when required. Signed off with a woven plaid finish in shades of black, grey and white, with classic ‘Universal Works’ embroidered flag label branding across the nape.
