The worlds of tailoring and reality television have surprisingly aligned this week with the news that Deborah Meaden from Dragons’ Den has bought Fox Brothers, the pre-eminent West Country flannel mill. Fox Brothers opened for business in 1772 in Wellington, Somerset and continues to make fine fabrics to this day. We recently featured a suit made with Fox cloth here and this navy pinstripe suit, made by Gieves & Hawkes, is also made from Fox flannel. www.foxflannel.com
