Offering an updated alternative to classic slim fit silhouettes, the Universal Works Pleated Pants feature a single pleat that offers generous room in the thighs with a contemporary tapering in the lower leg. The turn up cuffs finish the shape of the trousers in a casual look. Made from a cotton fabric sourced from Northern Italy, the navy body features a thin stripe created by weaving fine, dark orange cords into the fabric that puts a unique spin on a classic pinstripe style. The button fly is flanked by two hand pockets that sit on the side seam, whereas the rear is finished with two button fastened welt pockets.

Universal Works was founded in 2009; taking classic silhouettes inspired by workwear, military clothing and menswear of a bygone era and updating them to suit the contemporary fashion climate. Founder David Keyte uses exclusive materials sourced from all over Europe from entrusted factories, creating limited runs of clothing that value quality over quantity.
