William Halstead was born in 1875 by the homonymous founder and, in 2006, was sold to SIL Holdings Ltd, a family-owned textile company based in Bradford. The brand is one of the few remaining manufacturers in the UK that still weaves fabrics on looms, following the entire production process, thus ensuring a high standard of quality. Mohair is their flagship, known all over the world and that is why the company has earned a long-lasting place in the Escorial Guild. All their fabrics are inspected in detail and comply with BWTEC and WTO guidelines.
