Fox Flannel Overshirt

Fox Flannel Overshirt

Exclusively and expertly crafted for The Merchant Fox.

We are delighted to showcase our new Fox Flannel Overshirt. Presented in a shade of classic navy blue with a cloth weight of 530/560g, for an essential piece of everyday wear.

Due to the cloths heavyweight nature, this type of overshirt features characteristics of both an overshirt and jacket. Therefore, this type of garment is often commonly referred to as a 'shacket' with its practicalities of both styles.

Upon rediscovering an old and vintage shirt at the back of 'Mr. Fox's' wardrobe, we got to work right away to create a brand new design, loosely based on this hidden away and much treasured garment.    

Once The Merchant Fox had produced a new design, we then took it upon ourselves to source a local independent tailoring service in Bristol, England. Hannah and Eloise were certainly up for the 'challenge' of turning our visualisation, patterning and cloth into a reality, with a new one of a kind overshirt.

This high-quality overshirt made from Merino wool, can be worn over a contrasting t-shirt and smart trousers, for a casual appearance.

Features

• Weight: 530/560g

Produced in the southwest of England, in the city of Bristol. This popular city straddling the River Avon has long been associated with prosperous maritime history.

Jokoto are renowned for their expertise in creating bespoke garments, fashion design, bringing old favourites ‘back to life’, as well as their creative flair and innovation.

Fox Brothers are proud to work in collaboration with Jokoto Talioring, to bring some truly exquisite pieces to our product offering.

Fox Brothers, the English woollen mill established in Somerset in 1772 is credited with being the originator of fine woollen and worsted flannels during the last century and is still said to produce the best in the world. According to style connoisseurs, when choosing flannel, “always be sure to ask for it (Fox) by name”.

Fox Brothers first developed ‘flannel’ in 1803 and to quote Esquire magazine, is still the “Standard Bearer” for this wonderfully soft cloth. Loved by tailors who appreciate the way it cuts "like a good butter', this wonderfully soft cloth has evolved over many years and is now available as suit lengths in varying designs and weights, exclusively on The Merchant Fox.
