Mr Smith, the Fox Brothers in-house tailor whose particular style is soft tailoring and whose work is instantly recognisable by its high standard. Brian has recently been rated as one of the top tailors in the world. Choose from world renowned Fox Brothers Luxury Flannel as well as viewing limited edition cloth including Michael Alden's London Lounge collection 'proper cloth' and from September 2013 Fox's British Khakee 100% cotton collection.

An appointment can be arranged in the West End of London or in Somerset at Fox Brother's mill. The latter can have cloth selected literally straight from the looms. Brian is available in London on a Thursday and in Somerset on Fridays and Saturdays.
