Founded in 1846 in the town of Mold, Wales, W. Bill began as a business established by William Bill, specialising in flannel fabrics and woollen blankets. As tweed gained popularity among the British upper classes in the late 19th century, the next generation brought the company to London in 1892, marking a new chapter in its history as a supplier of fine tailoring fabrics.
A distinguished client in London commissioned VBS Tailor to create a traditional Safari jacket for hunting in the English countryside. The piece was crafted using premium cotton from the esteemed W.Bill brand. Though the cotton is robust and durable, it retains a smooth, soft hand feel—paired with a color that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique.
