SPOKE - The Linen Suit

The Linen Suit

SPOKE London's first foray into the suiting arena is nothing short of a masterclass in warm-weather dressing. Available in 4 colourways and 42 (that's right) sizes, it's an adaptable summer staple that will take wearers suavely from business lunches to wedding dance floors and beyond. Cut from a fine linen-cotton-elastane blend, The Linen Jack unites classic tailoring with modern comfort, serving notched lapels, real button cuffs and an unstructured, classic silhouette. On the bottom, The Linen Sharps - 25 per cent lighter than the brand's standard trousers - complete the pairing with a featherweight construction and roomy leg.

Bowers & Wilkins - Pi8 in Dark Burgundy

Pi8 in Dark Burgundy

Just one of the jewels in Bowers & Wilkins' gem-set crown, the Pi8 Earbuds are an unrivalled example that some of the best things come in unassumingly small packages. Though noticeably smaller than the brand's acclaimed over-ear Px8 S2 model, the Pi8s punch well above their weight when it comes to quality sound and a heightened audio experience. Carbon cone drive units reduce distortion and improve high-frequency detail while the best-in-class earbud and case design offer all-day comfort, 6.5 hours of battery life, and an arresting dark burgundy finish.

Pangaia - 365 Midweight Sweatshirt

365 Midweight Sweatshirt

Every man should own a relaxed fit crew. With limitless versatility and potential, it's a piece that has stood the test of time and strikes a perfect balance between casual and athletic ensembles. There are a handful of brands that do sweats very well, but our consistent pick is Pangaia, and its 365 Midweight Sweatshirt. Crafted from 100% OCS-certified organic cotton, this ultra-soft second-layer sits as stylishly under a jacket as it does around the shoulders and has been treated with PPRMINT oil to ensure it stays fresher for longer.

Uncluttered and clean, the vertical dial arrangement on the IWC Portugieser Chronograph enhances readability and adds unique design flair to this horological classic. An inner flange showcases a quarter-second scale, enabling high-precision stop-time readings and nodding back to the brand's storied motorsport heritage. The striking Dune coloured dial neatly completes this 41mm piece, with a refined black alligator strap providing day-to-day wristwear refinement.

Private White V.C. - Ventile Harrington Jacket

Ventile Harrington Jacket

Rising to icon status following its feature role in Rebel Without a Cause and The Thomas Crown Affair, the Harrington Jacket has been one of the most recognisable styles in men’s fashion for over 70 years. As is the case with many timeless garms, the Harrington came from military origins, and it’s no surprise that Private White V.C.’s Ventile iteration sits comfortably at the top of the market. Weatherproof and breathable, this Manchester-made piece (in striking British Racing Green) is a hardy and historic addition to any outerwear line up.

A classic city backpack with all the preppy charm synonymous with Tommy Hilfiger, this casual pocket flap style is a practical and considered springtime carry.
