A high-class, high-priced
mens wear retailer in
Great Britain. It actually started as a
second-hand clothes shop in the mid 1800s, but gradually grew with its own line of the aforementioned high-brow
tailoring and a string of
acquisitions to a nationwide chain of stores, frequented by
snobs and
brown-nosers the nation over.
Moss Bros. themselves are often sarcastically referenced in several BBC comedy shows, including Red Dwarf, The Young Ones and Monty Python.
"There's no way I'm going down to Moss Bros. with anyone who is less attractive than my own armpits after twenty games of table tennis!" - Dave Lister, Red Dwarf
