The Universal Works Wool Fleece Cardigan in Indigo delivers a premium utilitarian solution for cold weather city commuting, casual weekend social gatherings, studio workshops, and effortless contemporary layering. Combining a relaxed lifestyle knit profile with a distinct heritage workwear influence, this heavy duty fleece cardigan provides exceptional structural longevity and a reliable insulating feel. It actively solves the problem of rigid bulky winter coats restricting your movement or conventional knitwear losing its shape, offering a soft flexible build that looks incredibly sharp year after year.

Key Features

• Menswear enthusiasts and independent style collectors who appreciate classic heritage knit profiles combined with functional modern warmth.
• Pairing seamlessly with clean oxford cotton shirts, organic cotton t shirts, durable canvas utility trousers, and classic leather boots.

Fit and Sizing Recommendations

• The Cardigan is cut in a comfortable regular fit, featuring a clean straight line down the torso to accommodate light layers like sweatshirts and shirts easily.
• The flexible jersey bound collar, cuffs, and hem ensure the garment holds its shape comfortably against the body while sealing out cold drafts.
• Here at the store, we find this piece fits true to standard size; we recommend choosing your normal chest size for its intended comfortable regular profile.

Washing and Care Instructions

• Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as hot water and mechanical agitation will cause the premium wool fibres to shrink, warp, and pill.
• Hand wash carefully in cold water using a specialised wool detergent or dry clean professionally to maintain the garments texture and shape.
• Dry flat naturally on a clean towel away from direct heat sources or harsh sunlight; do not wring or hang while wet to prevent stretching.
• Avoid using bleaching agents, harsh chemical stain removes, or heavy fabric softeners that can break down the natural performance of the wool material.

Universal Works Wool Fleece Cardigan - Our FAQs

1. Is the wool fleece material scratchy to wear? No, Universal Works utilises a premium blended knit that incorporates soft structural fibres alongside the wool, ensuring a comfortable, smooth hand feel that is non irritable even when worn over short sleeve tees.
2. Can this be worn as an alternative to a casual blazer? Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the neat V neck layout, button front, and structural patch pockets, it works perfectly as a relaxed, unstructured smart casual layer for independent office environments.
3. How thick is this cardigan? It is a substantial mid to heavyweight fleece that strikes the perfect balance. It serves as a highly effective outer layer during crisp autumn days and converts into an incredibly warm insulating midlayer under heavy overcoats when deep winter arrives.
4. Will this fleece pile easily after continuous wear? Because it is crafted from a high quality wool blend fabric, it features excellent natural resistance to excessive pilling, though minor friction fuzz can be safely cleared over time with a standard fabric shaver.
5. Does the hem feature an adjustable drawcord? No, the Cardigan focuses on a clean minimalist aesthetic, finished with a soft, durable stretch binding along the hem and cuffs to retain a neat uniform shape naturally.
