SPOKEsmen,

Our work-from-anywhere Fridays aren't just for Fridays - or summer.

We've taken our hybrid chino and given it a beautifully brushed winter-weight coat.

Textured, toasty, tactile. The rich cotton weaves two tones for a bit of visual depth - and if there's a more comfortable addition to your work rotation, we'd love to meet it.

All the Fridays specs remain: a modern drawstring waist with two plush stripes of stretch at the sides, herringbone internals, and a sharp flat front.

We've got two shades for you this season. Navy: you know it, you like it. And Overcast, a flecked grey that's not quite 50 shades, but that would be very 2016.

Brush Up

And have a cracking Friday,

- Team SPOKE

The preppy classic has gone Jurassic - in this Ivy League addition to our winter legwear collection. Velvety Italian cord, with a straight, classic silhouette, embroidered with T-Rex stitching.

In this week's Margin Notes: revelations of the little black book behind The Beatles, a DeLorean that actually leaves the ground, and the star that turned green after eating its own planets.
