Universal Works Size Guide | ECRU
Find your Universal Works size with ECRU. This guide covers the brand’s sizing and fit across jackets, shirts, overshirts, cardigans, waistcoats and trousers. Fits vary by style, so the measurements on each product are always the best reference.
Good to know: Universal Works publishes technical measurements for individual garments, measured flat. There is no single body-size chart that applies to every style.

How to measure
- Chest: lay a similar garment flat, measure pit to pit and double it for the circumference.
- Shoulders: measure seam to seam across the back.
- Length: measure from the high shoulder point to the hem.
- Sleeve: measure from shoulder seam to cuff.
- Trousers: compare waist, rise, thigh and inside leg with a pair that fits well.
Fit by style
Bakers Jackets, work jackets and waistcoats
These are made with layering in mind. Compare the chest with a jacket you already wear and allow the amount of room you want for a shirt, knit or sweatshirt.
Shirts and overshirts
Regular shirts, roomy overshirts and relaxed styles such as the Travail fit differently. Use the individual product notes and focus on chest and shoulders.
Cardigans and fleece
The Universal Works cardigan is a signature style, but different fabrics drape differently. Your usual size gives a natural fit; compare measurements if you plan to layer over heavier pieces.
Military Chino, Duke Pant and Pleated Track Pant
The Military Chino is roomier through the hip and thigh before tapering; the Pleated Track Pant has an elasticated drawstring waist. Choose for both waist and silhouette, not just your usual denim size.
Frequently asked questions
Does Universal Works run large?
Not across the board. Some styles are regular while others are intentionally relaxed, so use the product measurements and fit description.
Should I size up for layering?
Not automatically. Many jackets already allow for layers. Compare the chest with a similar jacket you own.
