Salary benchmarks
Our take
A quality, plain T-shirt should be the staple of any wardrobe, but finding one that fits perfectly can often be difficult. Spoke is dedicated to creating perfectly fitting clothing, without the hassle of trying stuff on.
Spoke is rebuilding the sizing system for menswear, and this is something traditional brands and retailers find very hard to do. Retailers have to spread their stock over many physical stores so they can't have more than a few size options.
Spoke has clearly resonated with its consumers with this unique business model and this has been reflected in its substantial crowd-funding. Having conquered the UK market, the company has grand plans to accelerate growth - both its team and to venture into the US and European markets.
