SPOKEsmen,

Our Milano Shorts have returned from wherever shorts go in winter. Milan, presumably.

And we're delighted to say, they've brought three new, blissed-out shades with them.

Nocturne, a fresh, summery take on classic navy.
Bad Matcha, a soft-washed sage.
And this season's winner, Angel Delight, a versatile, dusty pink.

The fabric is the real headline. To achieve this box-fresh, yet sun-soaked look, the Milanese maestros at Duca Visconti twist two cotton yarns - a white and a colour. What comes back is unreasonably pleasant to wear. Soft stretch cotton, with just the right amount of crispness.

Blissimo

Pick from over 150 sizes, including a choice of leg length.

And have a cracking Wednesday.,

- Team SPOKE

The Summer Sale has been lit. A host of summer scorchers and wardrobe essentials are now cooking at up to 30% off. The good stuff is flying; don't hang around.

In this week's Margin Notes: incredibly rare footage of a Great White shark in the Mediterranean, you can now buy one of Johnny Marr's guitars, and why are the Netherlands national football teams' kits so bright?
