At R.M.Williams, we create products not just built for a season but crafted for life's journeys. Back in 1932, Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams found the available riding boots and saddlery at the time disappointing. If they could not handle harsh Australian conditions, they were not worth wearing, so he set about crafting better ones, putting function first and design second. That thinking still guides us today, so every piece is made with purpose, using premium materials chosen for their resilience. We select robust leather, dependable moleskin, hard-wearing denim and fine Australian wool for years of regular use. Our men's leather boots, in particular, remain proudly made in Australia at the Adelaide workshop, shaped by expert craftspeople from premium leather and built for the conditions you actually face: on the land, on the road and wherever work leads next. We've expanded over time into complementary pieces, from dress boots and belts through to wallets and leather bags, all with the same deliberate intent. If you've been looking up 'across the body bags', you want goods made to endure, and that's exactly what we offer.
How we build things is the same as how we'd want them for ourselves. Our men's and women's Chelsea boots show this best, as we use one piece of precisely chosen leather that's shaped into form by experienced hands and stitched with a single reinforced seam at the heel. This process, refined across more than 90 years, is rooted in local ingenuity. Additionally, the Goodyear welt is a practical choice, as it means a leather welt is sewn to the insole, keeping the sole firmly attached so you can wear the boots hard and resole them as required. This results in boots that last, look right and shrug off whatever the week throws at you, whether you're in the paddock or the office. Our range covers more than women's and men's Chelsea boots, with shirts built for year-round rotation, jeans cut for comfort and durability and sweatshirts that slot into any routine. We take pride in our collection of quality men's clothing, which reinforces our commitment to practicality and comfort. The same grounded qualities apply to our premium women's clothing collection, designed to make dressing across changing seasons simple. We craft products for various lifestyles, whether you're interested in 'body bag' or 'cool crossbody bags'.
Finding your ideal R.M.Williams pair starts by selecting the style and colour that fits your wardrobe. Your sole preference comes next: the Comfort rubber type delivers enhanced shock-absorption, traction and toughness on varied terrain, while the Classic leather option combines premium cowhide with a full leather insole, light padding and a 3/4 leather sock for breathable comfort. Men's boots range from sizes 3 to 17, while women's styles range from 5 to 11, making it easier to find a fit that feels right. After your selection, you can order online with standard and express delivery available throughout Australia and same-day dispatch for eligible orders. Our Click & Collect service is also provided through local stores at no additional cost, with collection availability confirmed at checkout. Free 60 day returns are also available by post, and we also have in-store returns and exchanges that provide flexibility. For questions regarding 'hats and pins' or 'work tote bag', our live chat and phone lines are available to assist you. If you would rather experience the craftsmanship first-hand, our store locator can also help you find one near you.
