Cherry Pattern jumper from Bond Street - is it wool? Outfit 464

 My vintage jumper label says W.Bill Ltd Bond Street, London. Size 18. It is warm for snowy weather. This jolly jumper is not only vintage in the sense of not current, no longer produced, manufactured long ago, as is the case with old labels such as St Michael of Marks & Spencer. W Bill Ltd is more like Anthony Sicari, a company regarded with fondness by buyers who still wear old garments and nostalgically search for the company. Then, fans sadly learn that the wonderful company no longer exists. But interesting clothing from yesteryear still is a joy to behold and can inspire us to copy aspects of favourite treasured garments. Why do I still wear this jumper? It is both warm in fabric and warms the soul with its jolly colours. Even though cherries are not a winter fruit. Are they cherries?  Or holly? I looked at holly.
