Why Layering Matters

Layering gives you range. Swap one layer and the whole mood changes. The idea is simple: create depth and comfort without bulk, using fabrics that breathe, drape and hold structure.

The Power of Fabric

This is where Fox Flannel excels. Their flannel, wool and tweed have a quiet richness. They react beautifully to light, movement and time, which is exactly what you want when building a layered look. Good cloth makes the outfit do the work for you.

A Brief Look at Fox’s Heritage

Fox Brothers has shaped British wool culture for more than two centuries.

Founded in Somerset in the late seventeen hundreds, the mill became known for its flannel: warm, structured, elegant and surprisingly light. Their fabrics travelled across Europe, used by officers, explorers and tailors who valued durability and refinement.

What makes Fox distinct is consistency. Same region, same craft, same slow and deliberate way of making cloth. They still weave in small batches, preserving the drape, depth and softness flannel is known for.

This is why Fox flannel is so strong in layering. It brings warmth and character without overpowering the rest.

Start Simple and Think in Three Steps

Base layer
‍Breathable and light. Cotton, merino, silk.

Mid layer
‍Texture and warmth. Flannel, brushed wool or a fine knit.

Outer layer
‍Shape and confidence. A blazer or coat with enough room to move.

Keep your palette tight. Let texture create contrast. Balance proportions so the outfit feels effortless, not engineered.
