Akubra slouch
Our quality craftsmanship and attention to detail extends into our range of hats and caps. Our unrivalled craftsmanship and quality shines through, from the timeless Akubra’s in a range of wide-brim styles and everyday caps. Whether you're working on harsh, rugged terrain or enjoying time with family, each piece carries the same undeniable seal of approval.
R.M.Williams was founded on the belief that items made for Australian conditions should endure from day one. Back in 1932, Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams found riding boots and saddlery couldn't take rough wear, so he made gear designed to endure long days, tough terrain and years of wear while retaining its shape and appearance. That problem-solving mindset still steers the brand now, offering products crafted for life's journeys rather than one season. Practicality and durability are our focus, always paired with a polished and considered finish. Our products are made from quality materials such as leather, denim, Australian wool and moleskin for their durability even in tough conditions. Even to this day, our boots are made in our workshop in Adelaide by skilled craftspeople using premium leather matched to local conditions. Over the years, our range has grown beyond signature men's leather boots to include dress boots, belts, leather bags and wallets, all built with the same spirit of purpose that earned us our reputation in the first place. So, whether you're looking up 'Akubra slouch' or 'men's hats', you'll find products that reflect the same standard of quality that has defined us for generations.
We're dedicated to making things that endure, with Goodyear welt construction at the centre of our approach. This method stitches a leather welt to the insole so that the sole can be firmly attached. This method means our women's and men's Chelsea boots are built to be repaired and resoled, not replaced, whenever the steps add up. In addition, a single thoughtfully selected hide is used to form the Chelsea boot's shape, then we cap it with a reinforced heel seam. Refined over 9 decades, our signature single-piece leather bootmaking process is a reflection of local ingenuity and guarantees that we leave no room for compromise when making our men's and women's Chelsea boots. For versatility, our selection offers boots with polished leather soles for a sharper look through to rubber-soled pairs that handle tough ground. And while we're known for boots, you'll also find our collection of quality men's clothing, including sweatshirts, shirts and jeans. Our premium women's clothing also includes wardrobe staples made for quality, practicality and comfort. Designed for easy layering, these pieces make seasonal dressing straightforward. When you're looking up 'Akubra slouch', 'handmade almond toe Chelsea boots' or 'men's white hats', you're sure to find enduring items in our collection.
Choosing the right pair of boots is straightforward through us: all you have to do is pick the style, colour and sole that fit your daily wear. The Comfort rubber sole is designed for grip and long-lasting wear in highly demanding conditions, sitting alongside the Classic leather sole, which pairs premium cowhide with a full leather insole, light padding and a 3/4 leather sock for breathable wear. For men's sizes, we offer a range from 3 to 17 and 5 to 11 for women's sizes. For men's styles, we offer narrow, regular and wide fittings, while women's styles are available in regular and wide fits. After you've chosen your pair, you can select standard or express delivery, both available across Australia, with same-day dispatch offered for qualifying orders. For special orders and repairs, we complete them to order and finalise the craftsmanship before arranging delivery. We also offer free 60 day returns that can be done by post as well as in-store.
