Spoke chinos - a good fit and made in Hoxton, England

Saturday, 28 September 2013

None of us is the same size and few clothing manufacturers pay much more than lip service to this fact. I recently ordered a pair of chinos (British-made, note) from Spoke whose unique selling point is the effort they make to cater for different sizes.

They do this by asking for details of not only your size, but also your build - and they'll send you a tape measure of you need one. The sizes progress in increments of 1 inch between 30" and 36", so there is generally a size and fit for all.


Mine are navy blue and are a comfortable, slim, but not too slim, cut. The fabric is a soft Italian fabric which comes in a variety of colours. Best of all, they're stitched together in Hoxton, London - so these are genuine British-made trousers - all for £79.

 See Spoke's website for more information.


With thanks to Spoke for providing a pair of trousers for use in this review

    That sounds like a very high level of service for such a good price, very impressed. I need something like this as finding a fit on the high street is a constant battle

    I agree that this sounds good.

    But you're lucky they sent you a pair instead of you having to go through the ordering process.

    Apart from an email to say they've received my payment and order I've heard nothing for weeks and have had no reply to attempts I've made to contact them.

    Hello Anon. I seem to recall I did go through the process. I'm sorry to hear this - maybe a tweet at them will get things moving.

    I also put an order in, got my confirmation email and then nothing.... There's no delivery info on their website. I emailed and they were quick to respond however it's now past the date they said I would receive them and still nothing.

    They are made in Portugal now I believe. A good pair of chinos though!
