The Fitting Room.

The Fitting Room.

We think clothes should work together and make you feel good. But sometimes you might need a few pointers along the way. If you are close to one of our stores or a local UW stockist, you can always call in for some friendly advice. If not, we have the next best thing: The Fitting Room. A guide to help you navigate our new collection.

Field Jacket vs. Uniform Jacket.

Continuing our time in The Fitting Room, this time we compare two of our Wool Fleece jackets—one a classic style, the Field Jacket, and one a new addition, the Uniform Jacket. You might think these look similar to each other, we do too! But we believe the little details can make all the difference.

The Field Jacket

A classic chore jacket-like fit and construction with three reinforced curved pockets which combine styling details with added practicality—the chest pocket features a smaller section ideal for a pen or pencil. (For those heading out ‘into the field’.)

The Uniform Jacket

With origins as an overshirt, the Uniform Jacket is boxier and shorter than the Field, sitting at the hips. A more contemporary style, akin to a collared cardigan and with (slightly bigger) simple, square shaped pockets.

One Jacket, Two Trousers.

Our smarter, suit-style, jackets often come with two trouser options to match. A slimmer, cleaner style, like our bestselling, easy-fit Military Chino, and a relaxed, looser pant like our Pleated Track Pant or Oxford Pant. So you can choose a fabric you love, and then choose the trouser shape that suits you best, or just that you prefer style-wise.

This way you can get more out of your suit—wearing the pieces together and then on their own as part of your other outfits.

Su-ri wears: Navy Lucca Suiting Three Button Jacket, Ecru Pop Stripe One Lazy Day Shirt, Navy Lucca Suiting Military Chino & Navy Lucca Suiting Pleated Track Pant.
Joel wears: Brown Upcycled Italian Tweed Two Button Jacket, Green Wool Fleece Zip Waistcoat, Black Recycled Wool Mix Single Jersey Pullover L/S Shirt, Brown Upcycled Italian Tweed Military Chino & Brown Upcycled Italian Tweed Pleated Track Pant

 

 

Dutch Pant & Utility Pant.

We will always have wide and slimmer (slim to us...) trousers. New this season we introduce the Dutch Pant and the Utility Pant, both very different in silhouette, we took advantage of having two models on set styling them in the same outfit, showing you how different they can look person to person.

As you can see, clothes can look different depending on the wearer. Both models above are wearing the same size. Joel, pictured on the left, is tall with a slim frame and longer legs, while Su-ri, on the right, is slightly shorter and has a more athletic build.
Featuring: Brown Wool Fleece Zip Liner Jacket, Navy Oscar Cotton L/S Camp Shirt, Indigo Work Denim Dutch Pant.

 

The Dutch Pants are our widest pant to date, with stitched down front darts to create shape without bulk. They have buckle waist adjusters to cinch the waist and simple rear patch pockets.

Utility Pants are neat through the hips, giving a straight and clean utilitarian shape and a relaxed fit. They have a tapered leg and intentionally narrower hem, thanks to the darts (as seen on our original fatigue pants), and some handy diagonal front pockets and back patch pockets. 

Featuring: Brown Cedar Check Zip Shirt, Cumin Alvar Fleece Lancaster Gilet, Black Single Jersey L/S Core Tee, Black Canvas Utility Pant
