Spoke was founded on the belief that a bad fit (baggy crotch, saggy seat, crumpled hem etc.) creates a bad outfit. asserted

So at Spoke, they custom-finish, in a wide range of sizes, for a virtually bespoke fit. asserted
they → finish → fit
The collection itself has a sort of grown-up, back-to-school feel about it, with its complex utilitarianism balanced by the luxe construction. asserted
utilitarianism → have → construction
As if that weren’t enough, the fabric itself has been blended with Spoke’s emblematic ‘Cordura’ fibre, leaving it durable, resilient, and crease-free. asserted
fabric → blend → it
Now, in my tenure as a menswear shopping expert, I know a good overshirt is essentially a man’s sartorial kryptonite. asserted
overshirt → know → expert
Specifically, my partner has never met an overshirt he didn’t like. asserted

However, from the Forza collection, this Spoke overshirt is a cut above, thanks to its tailored cut and sharp finish, taking the classic chore coat in an undeniably smarter direction. asserted

Now, this stormbreaker is where the Forza fabric really gets to showboat. asserted
fabric → get → ?
Bringing a clean, practical feel to this Stormbreaker, the Forza fabric isn’t bothered by a shower, maintains a sharp look all day long, and delivers a comforting stretch as you move through your day. asserted
you → bring → day
Plus, it allows for a little stretch-ribbing around the back of the hems, allowing for a little more give and lending a slight retro feel, akin to a bomber or windbreaker. asserted
it → allow → bomber
