Spoke makes chinos and casual trousers both in the UK and Europe. Very important to them is their focus on fit, a common discussion topic whenever I meet their founder, Ben Farren, for a coffee. Sizing isn't just about leg length and waist size (although Spoke offer eight waist and eight leg lengths), it's also about build.
Spoke recently kindly asked me to model some of their chinos at a photo shoot in London's Spitalfields. I tend to wear my trousers on the slim side, but you can find something for most shapes within their three build sizes. Here are some of the images. For more information, see below.
Ben Farren is also focused on quality; he continually tweaks details of design, manufacture and cloth to achieve the best for his customers. For more information on Spoke's chinos, cords or flex fabrics or to buy and try their online sizing and measuring system, go to the Spoke website. Prices from £89.

I have two pairs of their chinos and a pair of shorts after reading about Spoke on your blog earlier this year. I love the options (build A works for me) and the excellent packaging. They all have arrived very quickly after ordering too. I'm a fan! Rich (age 43!).
ReplyDeleteNice rain coat. May ask what label this is?
ReplyDeleteNice shoot. I have a couple of pairs too. Hard wearing.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell us where you got the grey jacket in the first picture?
Please keep up the good work.
Many thanks all. The blue raincoat is from Stutterheim. The grey is, I think, Paul Smith, but I will check.

Can you tell us what colour the chinos are? I would guess at graphite and taupe
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon - I think they are grey and taupe but I will check and revert to you.
ReplyDeleteGetting the colour right is hard on a shoot.

That's great, thanks David! I also like the suede desert boots, if you have any tips where to find a similar pair!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, i'm a big fan (despite being under 40)
Simon - The desert boots are Camper 1913 chukka boots - see Selfridges. Anon - The other chinos are grey flex.
