Made in Somerset, Inspired by Tuscany
A shared vision between the hills of Italy and the looms of Somerset. This is the story of how Fox Trots came to be…
A Legacy Worth Preserving
For over two centuries, Fox Brothers has occupied a singular place in the world of cloth. Its archives tell the story of British textile manufacturing, documenting generations of innovation and craftsmanship. At Officine Paladino, we have always sought out mills with a genuine identity, earned over decades rather than manufactured overnight. In an industry increasingly shaped by consolidation, preserving these independent voices has become more important than ever. Fox Brothers is one such voice, and Fox Trots is our contribution to ensuring it continues to be heard.
The Spirit of Fox Air
When Fox Brothers introduced Fox Air in the 1930s, it challenged conventional expectations of suiting cloths. Lightweight, breathable, and designed for warmer climates, it quickly became a benchmark for summer tailoring. That willingness to go against the grain was what drew us to the fabric. Officine Paladino operates on a similar conviction: that innovation should serve the wearer. By reinterpreting Fox Air through our lens, Fox Trots continues a tradition of evolving classic cloths for contemporary needs.
Shared Values
Collaborations are often built on products. The best ones are built on principles. Despite our different histories and geographies, Fox Brothers and Officine Paladino share a belief in adaptability, curiosity, and continual reinvention. Both brands have remained relevant by responding to change without losing sight of their identity. Fox Trots is a reflection of that shared identity, shaped by a shared commitment to craftsmanship and progress.
Sheep to Suit
Great cloths begin their lives long before they reach the cutting table. Traceability, responsible sourcing, and longevity have become increasingly important considerations for tailoring, not as trends but as necessities. To that end, Fox Trots is stocked in both the UK and Singapore, reducing the need for unnecessary shipments and bringing the collection closer to the tailors and makers who use it. It is a small but practical step towards a cleaner supply chain that respects both the origins of the cloth and the journey it takes to become a garment.
