FX Clothing is an established wholesaling business (25 years) and over the past number of years it has shifted its business focus to include retail, as a risk management strategy. It operates two retail based businesses selling own brand suiting and outerwear from Balbriggan and Dublin 2. Additionally, it trades online as Dorian Black http://www.dorianblack.ie/, selling men’s formal clothing such as wedding attire, black tie tuxedos, suits, shirts, and accessories.
