Collection: Universal Works

Launched in 2009 from co-founder David Keyte's kitchen table, Universal Works was born from an aim to make real, honest clothing, based on fit and good design, though never over-designed. The brand champions skilled, small-scale production produced both in the U.K and overseas (primarily artisan factories in India & Portugal), working only with factories they trust, admire & are proud to be associated with.

Quality, utilitarian unisex workwear & small-scale artisan-based production — all the things we love here at That Was Then. This is timeless workwear NZ at its most considered: clothing built to last, worn in, and loved. We offer independent menswear shipping to Auckland, and nationwide on all Universal Works orders, allowing everyone to appreciate artisanal clothing delivered to your door
