Big hats

The belief that well-crafted products should stand up to frequent use has guided R.M.Williams from the beginning. In 1932, Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams became dissatisfied with riding boots and saddlery that failed in demanding Australian conditions, so he began making durable leather goods that balanced practicality with appearance. That focus on solving problems rather than chasing style continues to define the brand now. Our reputation is built on craftsmanship shaped through a modern sensibility: quietly confident, trusted and proven over time. Across the range, we use premium materials such as leather, denim, Australian wool and moleskin for their resilience in tough conditions. From boots to belts, clothing, leather bags and wallets, our collection continues to evolve without losing its adventurous and practical spirit. Ongoing innovation, together with Australian manufacturing, remains fundamental to the way our products are produced today. At the heart of the brand are our men's leather boots, manufactured at our Adelaide workshop by expert craftspeople using premium leather that's ideal for local conditions. Each detail serves a purpose, resulting in products designed for years of wear rather than just for a season, so if you're searching for 'big hats' or 'cotton socks', you will find products you can trust in our range.

Craftsmanship is a hallmark that separates our boots from others. Through the stitching of a leather welt to the insole, our Goodyear welt construction delivers a sturdy build that keeps the sole securely attached. On top of increasing durability, this method can also extend each pair's lifespan by enabling repairs and resoling. The same attention to detail carries across our whole collection, from men's to women's Chelsea boots, where carefully selected leather is shaped using our signature single-piece construction and completed with a reinforced heel seam. Refined over more than 90 years, the technique embodies a practical philosophy of bootmaking without compromise. And whether you're shopping for women's and men's Chelsea boots for formal use or something for casual and outdoor use, you'll find different sole options that support a range of settings and routines. Aside from footwear, our premium women's clothing combines practicality with understated styling suited to regular use. This also applies to our quality men's clothing, including shirts, knitwear, jeans and trousers designed to make dressing across changing seasons more straightforward. From refined clothes to robust footwear, R.M.Williams products continue to support long-term wear across different lifestyles and terrains, whether you're looking up 'big hats', 'woollen socks in Australia' or 'woollen socks Australia'.

At R.M.Williams, finding the right pair begins with picking your preferred style and colour. From there, you can select the type of sole that suits your needs. The Comfort rubber sole delivers greater shock-absorption, traction and long-lasting durability, regardless of the terrain or conditions you face. As an alternative, the Classic leather sole brings together premium cowhide with a full leather insole, light padding and a 3/4 leather sock for breathability and comfort. Afterwards, pick the correct size for you. We stock men's boot sizes 3 to 17 and women's boot sizes 5 to 11, offering narrow, regular and wide fittings for men and regular and wide for women. After selecting your preferred fit, the ordering process is simple. Whether you're browsing for 'workwear belt' or 'Akubra Brisbane', our standard and express delivery options are available nationwide, and same-day dispatch is offered on select orders. We have more than 90 stores across Australia, and you can use our store locator to find the nearest location and experience the fit and construction firsthand.
