SPOKEsmen,

British summertime has delivered its signature ‘mixed bag’.

So your sartorial choices need range, versatility, tact. This fresh batch of Piqués meets the moment.

The Piqué Polo is cut from organic Portuguese cotton, knitted with elastane — which means it's decadently soft, and packs a bit of bounce and recovery. The look is always crisp, no matter how hard you work it.

The placket is ribbed and clean, the cuffs are trimmed with herringbone detail, and the whole finish is logo-less and refined. Quietly sharp.

Piqué Me

Wear it to the pub garden when the sun makes its cameo. Or to the office as a pared-back, smart-casual option. We believe in you.

Have a cracking Tuesday,

— Team SPOKE
