SPOKEsmen,

So maybe you're on the beach. It's 28°C and you're sipping on a rum-based beverage in a pineapple - because you can.

And yet, there it is. September. Looming menacingly in the middle distance.

In four short weeks, it'll be back to school.

You can't run. But you can prepare.

And we're ready. With a fresh drop of our flagship Sharps - apex workwear.

Scandi-minimal looks collide with luxe Italian stretch cotton and Swiss trim. All business.

But they're more comfortable than any work trouser has the right to be. And look, if you want to roll the hem, sport them with a linen shirt at the pool side bar, we've all been there. And we're not going to stop you.

Look Sharp

And have a cracking Thursday,

- Team SPOKE

No office fit is complete without the smart-casual prowess of our Oxford Shirt. Cut from a soft stretch weave, and trimmed with all the essentials: button-down collar, breast pocket, and butterfly side seams.
