Universal Works Bakers Jacket - Black Twill

Chore jacket in black cotton twill, regular fit, five buttons. The Bakers has been in every Universal Works collection since the brand started, which is either a sign it stopped working or a sign it never needed to. The latter, clearly. Named after founder David Keyte's dad, who wore a simple coverall every day to work in a bakery. The jacket took that starting point and added a bit of shape: seams that give it structure without stiffening it, a diagonal buttonhole on the button stand that catches the eye without announcing itself, and pockets that are genuinely useful rather than decorative.

The fabric is a 3:1 cotton twill, woven with a diagonal construction that gives it more body and durability than a plain weave at the same weight. Midweight enough to layer over a shirt or light knit, light enough to wear most of the year. Made in India by a small factory Universal Works has worked with since the beginning.
