THE AW23 FABRIC GUIDE.

Fabric is where the design process starts for us, and we take pride in sourcing the very best fabrics from across the world for our collections. With this in mind, we are pleased to share our latest guide giving you all the fabric-related info you need to make a well-informed purchase this season. For those who don’t know their warp from their weft, we’ve provided some light-hearted descriptions to make it all a little easier to digest, alongside the obligatory nerdy info we all secretly enjoy!
 
For AW23, Texture and pattern collide to daring effect. Deep pile fleece jackets appear in bold camo and floral motifs, while utilitarian workwear jackets are cut from dusty pink herringbone wool. Thick, heritage-inspired checked flannels meet military-style quilted liners for an undeniably tactile appeal. A fusion of sartorial flair, sportswear, military references, and vintage Americana; it’s a mixture of everything that shouldn’t work, somehow working together and sewn together, as always, with peace and love and soul.

THE FABRICS.

corduroy

CORDUROY.

Winter isn’t winter without the soft, familiar feeling of corduroy. As reliable as an old friend. More nostalgic than cotton twill. Smarter than your average denim. Good old cor-du-roi is like the warm waft of a freshly baked loaf or the reassuringly sophisticated aroma of bloody good coffee. Spun from top-notch cotton it’s made by weaving extra sets of fibre into the base fabric to form the vertical lines. These ridges are officially referred to as ‘wales’, which become clear lines of soft, tufty stuff when they’re cut into a pile at the end of the process. This time around its 8-Wale grade. Wearable and durable, it feels fit for camping, commuting or just a walk to the nearest pub.

CORTINA TWEED

CORTINA TWEED.

Fun, punchy and a little bit retro, (like its namesake motor), this seasonal standout offers a brisk fuel injection to the most sedate menswear fabric: tweed. Made in Italy – unlike the classic Ford saloon – using a rich blend of recycled yarns, it’s a soft, tactile cloth that looks better and better the closer you get (and the more you wear it). Sidestepping the usual mossy earth tones in favour of bolder, more modern colours, the Cortina Tweed is so good we’ve used it for no fewer than four jackets for AW23, from our flowing Long Swing Coat to the utilitarian Windcheater II.

WOOL FLEECE

WOOL FLEECE.

 
 
Fleece is the original egalitarian insulator. It doesn’t give a flying Thermos flask whether you’re a hot-shot rock-climbing adrenaline junkie, or just an average bloke who likes the odd country walk with a pint and some peanuts at the end. Apparently invented in Massachusetts, the eureka moment happened sometime in the 1970s when a couple of textile boffins started playing around with the construction of terry towelling. They subbed cotton for micro-fine polyester and a prototype was born. The version we've been using season after season is made from a wool-based mix. It looks great, washes like a dream and never needs ironing. What's not to like?

SHINGORA DOT.

SHINGORA DOT.

 

Coming out of left field with this one, the Shingora Dot is not what it seems. It looks as if it’s knitted, but it’s actually tightly woven. And despite being mostly cotton, it has the fluffy softness of wool. Add to that, the miniature dot pattern reminiscent of Japanese sashiko fabrics, and you’ve got something truly unique. Mystifying, even! The word ‘practical’ doesn’t usually follow ‘mystifying,’ but with its soft feel and sturdy quality the Shingora Dot is practical, and highly wearable too. So much so that we’ve used it for jackets, hoodies, and track pants this season.

UPCYCLED ITALIAN TWEED.

UPCYCLED ITALIAN TWEED.

 
 
These Italian mills don’t just excel at fine linens and silks, they can rustle up a mean tweed, too, and the Upcycled fabric is proof in the (tiramisu) pudding. Made from a blend of upcycled yarns, it has a satisfying weight and a slightly speckled, salt-and-pepper look that makes it perfect for casual tailoring. We’ve turned it into some classic Three Button Jackets, and some matching Military Chinos as well – if you’re in the market for a perfectly laid back two-piece suit.

CARBON COTTON.

CARBON COTTON.

 
 
Ask yourself this. Is there a cosier, more satisfying fabric for the autumn, than a sturdy brushed cotton? That, folks, is a rhetorical question, because we all know the answer is no. AW23’s Carbon Cotton is a sumptuous cotton mix, expertly made by one of our favourite mills in Italy. It’s only been lightly brushed, to give it that sought-after softness but without sacrificing the fabric’s reassuringly durable feel. The colour charcoal, has a nice marl about it, not quite black, giving it a nice visual depth.

HARRIS TWEED.

HARRIS TWEED.

 
 
The Outer Hebrides is a 130 mile archipelago of 119 islands sat in the Atlantic Ocean off the North-West coast of Scotland. They are the home of some of the best beaches in the world, and of course a fabric we are very fond of here at Universal Works, Harris Tweed. Harris Tweed is a cloth handwoven from pure virgin wool in the homes of islanders in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Fabric luxury in its own right, we have used Harris Tweed in our collections since the early days, and are immensely proud to display the 'Mark of the Orb.'

NEBRASKA COTTON.

NEBRASKA COTTON.

 
 
Nebraska cotton has a compact weave, with a soft, brushed surface similar to moleskin which allows it to hold its shape really well. It has been a Autumn-Winter staple for us for a number of years now, and this season is no exception. We have it available across a number of jacket, shirting and trouser styles this season, including the Bakers Chore Jacket, Five Pocket Jacket, Braga Pant and Military Chino to name but a few. It looks incredible paired up as casual suiting option, but equally as good worn as an individual piece.

ITALIAN PINSTRIPE.

ITALIAN PINSTRIPE.

 
Believe it or not, before it was the go-to choice for men in bowler hats, the pinstripe was more commonly found on hardy workwear fabrics – worn by railway workers around the turn of the century. This Italian Pinstripe cotton mix takes things back to the style’s earliest incarnation, with a substantial weight and a lovely brushed texture. We’ve steered clear of Mr. Benn references using a sophisticated brown with a 2 colour stripe, but still perfect for everyday wear. You’ll find it used for our Five Pocket Jacket, as well as a pair of Pleated Track Pants.

CRAZY CHECK WOOL MIX.

CRAZY CHECK WOOL MIX.

 
When we say crazy, we mean CRAZY! This checked wool mix is a riot of pattern, colour, and texture – not for the faint hearted out there. The super loose weave gives it a unique character, and a carefree personality that made it perfect for a lively version of our Coverall Jacket for AW23. It’s a little bit counterculture hippie and a little bit uber-sophisticated. Those who feel brave enough will find that this is high risk, high reward fabric.

KYO COTTON.

KYO COTTON.

 

Here at UW, you know we all love something with an unusual pattern, an unexpected texture, or a particularly bold colour – but take a second to imagine a wardrobe filled only with fun fabrics. From all of those clashing clothes, you wouldn’t be able to pull together a single coherent look. So let’s be thankful for those simple-but-extremely-well-done fabrics that let the statement pieces sing. Fabrics like this Kyo Cotton, a tightly woven twill made in Italy. It’s structured like a tough workwear cloth, but has an unmistakably sophisticated feel. A true every day staple.

IKAT TWILL CHECK.

IKAT TWILL CHECK.

 
Since the craze for madras shirts and trousers that became a key component of Ivy League style in the ‘50s and ‘60s, Indian fabrics have been a highly coveted commodity in the menswear world. It isn’t difficult to see why: the mills of southern India make some of the most exceptional cloths around, and for AW23 we’re chuffed to have worked with one on this exclusive fabric. The Ikat Twill Check has a soft, luxurious feel which reveals its true colours the closer you look and combines a madras check with Ikat weaving technique.

IT BRUSHED TWILL.

 
 
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a chambray? Is it a flannel? Is it a twill? Well, all of the above, actually. This chameleonic shirt fabric – expertly made by our pals down in Portugal, who know a thing or two about spot-on textiles – is a real workhorse cloth that’s going to see a lot of action in your daily rotation. And with that in mind, we’ve made it into a new version of our Square Pocket Shirt for AW23, a fittingly versatile design for such a versatile fabric. Soft to the touch, and with a slight two-tone appeal. What’s not to like?

FLOWER FLEECE.

FLOWER FLEECE.

 
 
Thanks to its popularity amongst ramblers, birdwatchers and supply teachers, fleece is not considered the most exciting of fabrics. Not all fleeces are made equal, however, and if any fabric can rehabilitate fleece’s dowdy image, it’s this one. In place of those typical drab tones we have a psychedelic floral pattern, realised in a palette of dreamy sky blues or autumnal leaves. This one was knitted by a very talented mill in Italy, who worked to get the pattern, colour, and beautiful brushed texture just right. Available in gilet and cardigan form for AW23, it’s a certified compliment magnet.

SOFT WOOL-COTTON KNIT.

 
 

Wrapping yourself in this ultra-cosy blend of wool and cotton feels like a warm hug, and, let’s face it people – we all need a hug sometimes. It’s been knitted exclusively for us in Portugal, the wool adding softness and body, and the cotton adding a pleasing density. It has a soft, knitted outer and a smooth jersey inner, textures that look as good as they feel. We’ve used this fabric for our Surfer Hoodie and Zip Liner Jacket, both ultra-useful pieces that really shine when cut from soft, textural materials. Combining two time-tested yarns to make something entirely new, this might just become your best friend this autumn.

DIAMOND QUILT RECYCLED NYLON.

DIAMOND QUILT RECYCLED NYLON.

 
 

As its criss-cross quilted texture suggests, this fabric is a real diamond. Made in South Korea by fabric specialists, its recycled nylon exterior has that perfect left-in-the-sun shade you only find in the most sought-after examples of vintage militaria. It’s filled with a CLO technical insulation, which adds not only warmth but a bit of volume, too. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we’ve used the Diamond Quilt Recycled Nylon for our Military Liner Jacket, Military Liner Gilet, and the Diamond Quilt Parka – our take on the classic fishtail. Each one of these is reversible, revealing a contrasting shade of khaki on the other side.

WOOL/COTTON SEERSUCKER.

 
 

With its narrow stripes and puckered, crinkly texture, seersucker is a true textile marvel. A reliable highlight of summer dressing, we wanted to create a version suitable for winter, to keep that seersucker party going year-round. The result is this, a blend of wool and cotton made by one of Italy’s finest mills. It retains everything you love about seersucker, but adds weight and warmth, making it perfect for autumn and winter. Its colour also nicely reflects the season, foregoing the typical white and pale blue stripes in favour of a deep tonal navy.

A heavy-duty wool mix, and perhaps the quintessential UW outerwear fabric, Mowbray is seriously substantial, offering weight, density, and heaps of texture. It’s our own take on Melton boiled wool, arguably the most classic of winter workwear materials. With its rich, feel and smooth texture, it’s perfect for making what you might call ‘proper’ jackets – our Cruiser Parka and Jacket, Long Swing Overcoat, Newark Bomber, and Chore Waistcoat, for example. Guaranteed to keep you well-protected from the elements, and looking good at the same time.

With the help of some top-shelf Italian fabric specialists we have this bizarre and beautiful amalgam of classic Fairisle knitting, and some heavy brushing.. Some think it shouldn’t exist, but flippin ‘eck, we’re glad it does. It has all the intricate design and mossy Shetland colouring of your most traditional Fairisle jumpers, but drags these elements quite abruptly into the 21st century.
