With a journey dating back to 1772, Fox Brothers & Co is not just a textile brand – it is an inseparable part of British tailoring history. Known as the “father of flannel,” Fox Brothers was the first mill to produce the original wool flannel fabric, laying the foundation for a material that has since become a timeless staple in the wardrobes of gentlemen around the world.
Founded in Somerset, in the southwest of England – a region renowned for its long-standing wool tradition – Fox Brothers has upheld a handcrafted production model for over two centuries. From selecting wool fibers, weaving, dyeing, to finishing, every step is carried out locally under strict supervision to ensure uncompromised quality.
The brand’s signature fabrics – such as flannel, worsted flannel, cavalry twill, and wool suiting – are highly regarded for their dense weave, soft hand feel, and excellent insulation properties, making them especially suitable for suits, blazers, and outerwear in cooler seasons.
“You don’t wear Fox, you inherit it.” – A well-known saying in the tailoring world, underscoring the fact that Fox Brothers is not just a fabric, but a legacy – and you are the one carrying that legacy forward into the modern era.
At VBS Tailor, Fox Brothers fabric is the top choice for those who appreciate pure British elegance – where each suit is not just a garment, but a personal statement of refined taste, craftsmanship, and respect for enduring values.
