Nottingham-based label Universal Works has just presented a new collaboration with K-Way and it sees the duo unveil a festival-ready collection that will be sure to gear you up for the two-stepping summer nights ahead.
French imprint K-Way is best known for its technically-inclined windbreaker jacket and now its latest collaboration with UW sees the brand build an all-new “Festival Kit” around it, with each design in the line being crafted to tackle the unpredictability of the UK’s summer season.
The collection starts with two jackets and a bag — both available in two colorways of “Dark Blue” and “Sand” — and each design is constructed from a recycled version of K-Way’s house fabric. The result is a lightweight and highly waterproof recycled ripstop and it’s packed with performance-ready materials with a sprinkle of retro edge.
Complemented with an assemblage of K-Way and Universal Works co-branding, the collection’s packable Watergate Bay Jacket comes packed with heat-taped seams, a two-way zip adjustable hem, three outer pockets, and a rear vent. Meanwhile, the jacket is finished with K-Way’s classic multi-colored zip, while a tab-and-snap detail on the chest sits alongside a lower pocket that’s designed to attach to tent pegs and bottle openers.
Speaking about the new collection, Universal Works’ co-founder, David Keyte, said: “It might be sunny with clear skies, but a sudden downpour is practically guaranteed, so it’s pieces like this that really make the whole festival experience that much more pleasant.”
