SPOKEsmen,

When SPOKE labs first devised Fives, they thought they'd nailed the formula for quintet-chambered trousering.

And then we discovered this magical fabric - a wildly soft and super stretchy blend of cotton and lyocell.

If there's a better summer-travel trouser, we've not found it.

And you've got lovely holidays planned, we're sure - now's the moment to test our claim.

They're peachy soft to the touch and peachy round in the finish - all that stretch gives you support and flex in all the right places.

We've topped up the favourites - Dark Navy and Ammonite. This season's special, Sandstorm, is light on the ground. Last call.

Hit The Peach

And enjoy it out there,
