Fox Brothers — Somerset wool since 1772

Fox Brothers & Co. of Wellington, Somerset, has operated continuously since 1772 — the same year America declared independence. The mill is officially credited as the inventor of flannel (1803) and weaves on looms over 50 years old, because modern machines cannot replicate the characteristic handle and softness of their cloth. Their fabric has been worn by Winston Churchill, Cary Grant and the Duke of Windsor. Tiestore.pl uses Fox Brothers cloth for wool bow ties, wool ties and bespoke suiting — a partnership that requires no further introduction.

Wool and the bow tie — an autumnal character

A wool bow tie belongs to the same family as the wool tie and the silk knit — accessories whose elegance rests not on sheen but on texture and proportion. The matte surface of wool enters into natural dialogue with flannel and tweed suits, Prince of Wales check jackets and any ensemble where natural, weightier cloths predominate. The patterns — check and polka dots — are classical in the strictest sense: present in British menswear for well over a century.

The collection and bespoke orders

The Tiestore.pl wool bow tie collection comprises three self-tie models: grey-navy with green polka dots, solid dark navy, and check. All available in standard sizes. The atelier will make a wool bow tie in a non-standard size or from Fox Brothers cloth outside the current collection on individual commission. Craft and design at the highest level.
