Universal Works Two Button Jacket

The Universal Works Two Button Jacket in Black Tropical Suiting is a refined, travel-ready blazer that resists the constraints of traditional, rigid formalwear. The specialised "Tropical Suiting" fabric—a blend of polyester and wool—is engineered for extreme lightness and crease-resistance, ensuring you look sharp straight out of a suitcase. Featuring a contemporary unstructured fit, it functions as a versatile, multi-purpose layer that moves effortlessly from a business meeting to a sophisticated evening out.

Key Features

• Crafted from a 55% Polyester, 45% Wool blend, offering a clean, minimal look with the practical benefit of being highly crease-resistant.
• Cut with a modern silhouette that provides slight shaping through the waist without the stiffness of traditional tailoring.
• Designed with a deeper lapel line that enhances the jacket's casual, unstructured aesthetic and provides a more modern stance.
• Features two large lower patch pockets and a single chest patch pocket, maintaining the brand’s utilitarian, "work-jacket" DNA.
• Engineered for a better ergonomic fit and a more natural drape around the arms.
• Specifically designed to look just as crisp straight out of a suitcase as it does on a hanger, making it an essential for business trips or destination events.
• The Tropical Suiting weave allows for excellent airflow, making it comfortable for year-round wear and indoor environments.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• The primary choice for those who need a smart jacket for work but prefer the comfort and ease of a chore coat.
• Ideal for weddings or weekenders where you need to look sharp immediately upon arrival without hunting for an iron.
• Pairs perfectly with the matching Universal Works Military Chino for a contemporary suit look, or with raw denim and a white tee for a more relaxed vibe.
• A great option for those who want one dependable black jacket that serves both formal and casual purposes.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This jacket is not a slim-fit "suit" blazer. It is designed to be comfortable and easy to layer over a shirt or a fine-gauge knit.
• We find this jacket fits true to size for its intended relaxed silhouette.
• The two-piece sleeve provides a refined length that sits perfectly at the wrist, allowing for a glimpse of shirt cuff if desired.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. To maintain the Tropical Suiting finish, avoid high-spin cycles.
• Always hang the jacket to dry naturally. The fabric is designed to shed creases as it dries on a hanger.
•  If necessary, use a cool iron setting. However, thanks to the polyester content, the jacket rarely requires heavy pressing.
• For a deep refresh, this jacket can be professionally dry cleaned to maintain its structured yet soft handle.

Universal Works Two Button Jacket - Our FAQs

1. Is this a full suit jacket?
   It can be. Universal Works often produces matching trousers in the same Tropical Suiting fabric. However, its patch pockets and unstructured design make it equally effective as a standalone "odd" jacket.

2. What makes "Tropical Suiting" different?
   Traditional wool suiting can be heavy and prone to wrinkling. Tropical Suiting is a lighter, open weave that breathes better and uses polyester to ensure the fabric "springs back" into shape.

3. Can I wear this in the summer?
   Yes. It is specifically designed to be light and practical, making it one of the best tailoring options for warm-weather events or office wear in the summer.

4. Does it have an internal lining?
   To maintain the "Tropical" breathability and relaxed drape, this jacket is typically unlined or minimally lined, allowing the fabric to move more naturally with your body.
