This article is about the Tennessee company. For the settlement in Texas, see Serbin, Texas.

Serbin Fashions Inc. (also known as Serbin of Miami & S&M Manufacturing Company) produced clothing lines under brand names like JO-RICH Originals Inc, Lincoln Manufacturing Company Inc, J.L.J. Corporation, Key Biscayne Hand Print Fabrics Inc and Kitty Fischer and Roxbury Inc.

Serbin was a clothing manufacturer based in Fayetteville, Tennessee in Lincoln County. The original manufacturing facility in Fayetteville was opened in August 1937 as L.N. Gross & Company. In 1949, Lou & John Serbin, from Cleveland Ohio, bought out L.N. Gross & Company and changed the name to Serbin. Lou ran the company until 1954 when James Marion Malone was promoted Vice President. Malone was promoted to President in 1958.

After the manufacturing business was shuttered in the early 1990s the factory transitioned into a storage facility. Bob Malone, the son of James Marion Malone, also operates his real estate business BMA Properties in the front office space.
