The Travail Overshirt draws direct inspiration from a vintage French work jacket discovered at a Parisian market. Fascinated by the unique silhouette and contemporary vibe of the original piece, the designers at Universal Works retained its signature chest darts and relaxed fit, reinterpreting it in a modern key with a curved shirt hem.
Crafted from soft flannel in a navy shade, this overshirt takes its name from the French word “travail” (“work”), paying homage to its utilitarian roots. The unstructured cut, two large lower patch pockets, and adjustable cuffs make it a perfect layering piece, balancing heritage with contemporary functionality.
