Universal Works Zip Waistcoat Wool Fleece Grey Marl

The Universal Works Zip Waistcoat Wool Fleece in Grey Marl is a dependable cold-weather layer built for everyday use through the autumn and winter season. Cut in a regular fit, it is designed to sit comfortably over shirting, sweats, or lightweight outerwear pieces, adding warmth without unnecessary bulk. The shape is straightforward and functional, making it easy to wear across different settings, from daily city use to more outdoor-oriented layering.

This waistcoat is made from Universal Works’ well-established Wool Fleece, a knitted wool blend that has become a consistent part of the brand’s autumn-winter offering. The fabric combines the natural character of wool with the durability and practicality of recycled polyester, resulting in a layer that feels suited to regular wear while maintaining a strong warmth-to-weight balance. It is a fabric often associated with sport and outdoor styles, which gives this piece a clear functional edge without pushing it into overly technical territory.

At the front, a two-way zip closure adds versatility to the fit and styling. It allows the waistcoat to be adjusted depending on how it is layered, whether worn fully zipped for insulation or opened from the hem for ease of movement. Two angled lower patch pockets provide accessible storage and reinforce the practical character of the design. Around the edges, jersey binding and a jersey-ribbed neck help refine the finish while keeping the overall feel comfortable and easy.

The neutral Grey Marl colourway keeps the waistcoat adaptable. It works naturally with denim, fatigue pants, wool trousers, or technical shells, and fits easily into a layered wardrobe built around texture and utility. As a standalone mid-layer or an extra insulating piece under a coat, it delivers consistent performance in cooler conditions with a clean, understated appearance.
