SPOKEsmen,

September is 4 weeks away - count 'em.

And even in this work-from-anywhere era - fine tailoring still anchors your 9-5 repertoire.

This is our sharpest stride. Cut from luxe Italian wool, with a smooth, rich hand feel. But we've shot-through CORDURA® fibre, the same tech weave behind their 'Combat Wool' range.

It's a trouser that scrubs up for the boardroom, but shrugs off a full day's wear like it clocked off at noon. Crease resistance, stretch, resilience - the sort of specs no smart trouser has any business offering.

The details are clean and classic. A sharp crease, notched waistband, and we've switched belt loops for side adjusters that let you dial in your fit - leaving the waistband clean and beltless.

Yours in Charcoal and Dark Navy - bankers - across our range of over 200 sizes.

Smart Me Up

And have a cracking Friday,

- Team SPOKE

Meet the Sharp Shirt. With soft stretch poplin and frictionless French seams, this - for our money - is the most comfortable work shirt you've ever owned. Made to order across 50 sizes - it's the best-fitting one, too.
