Universal Works is a contemporary British menswear brand founded in 2009 by David Keyte. The brand is known for its championing of skilled, small-scale production and honest, functional design rooted in workwear aesthetics. They maintain a design philosophy that focuses on heritage and quality, often drawing inspiration from Keyte's upbringing in a Midlands working-class family.

Production is intentionally diverse to ensure high-quality craftsmanship; while many pieces are manufactured in the United Kingdom or Portugal to support local industry and maintain close oversight, other items are sourced from specialized partners in India and other locations. The brand remains privately owned by its founders, emphasizing independent creative control and sustainable growth in the global fashion market.
