With a practical Australian sensibility at its core, R.M.Williams has stayed quietly confident, proven and trusted. Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams recognised early on in 1932 that the riding boots and saddlery available at the time were not suited to the demands of the Australian outback, so he began creating leather goods that could withstand hard use without losing their sense of refinement. It meant that solving real problems regarding durability came first, but the appearance of our men's leather boots was never ignored, and this balance continues to shape the brand today. Our boots are still made in Australia at our Adelaide workshop, where expert craftspeople work with premium leather chosen for local conditions. What began with our iconic boots has grown to include leather bags, wallets, belts and dress boots, each crafted with the same deliberate commitment to quality. What's more, premium leather, moleskin, denim and Australian wool are all deliberately chosen for their resilience in harsh conditions. Continual innovation and local manufacturing in Australia ensure we craft a range made to last years, not merely one season. So, if you're looking up 'broad brim hat', you'll find pieces shaped by years of meticulous craftsmanship and purpose-led design.
Since some things are worth doing properly, we at R.M.Williams use dependable Goodyear welt construction to extend the life of and strengthen our products. By stitching a leather welt to the insole, a solid foundation is provided for securely attaching the sole. That results in a structure you can depend on through repeated wear, long days and uneven ground. It also means that boots can be resoled and repaired when the time comes, extending their natural lifespan instead of cutting it short. This construction sits at the heart of our most recognised styles, like our women's Chelsea boots and men's Chelsea boots. Each pair is made to withstand tough wear, from hard-wearing rubber soles crafted for demanding conditions to refined leather soles suited to formal settings. The same practical thinking extends beyond boots to our collection. When you're searching for quality men's clothing or premium women's clothing, you will find dependable staples like shirts, jeans and trousers, and rugged coats, jackets and vests, all made to work hard. Whether you're browsing for 'hat with large brim' or 'men's wide brim hat', every piece we offer is grounded in function, built for daily wear and shaped to keep pace with wherever the day takes you.
Selecting the right R.M.Williams pair begins with picking the style and colour that suits your wardrobe. You can then choose between 2 types of soles: the Comfort rubber type provides improved shock-absorption, traction and durability on varied terrain, while the Classic leather option uses premium cowhide with a full leather insole, light padding and a 3/4 leather sock for added breathability and comfort. We offer men's sizes 3 to 17 and women's sizes 5 to 11 to make finding the right fit simpler. Once you've chosen a pair, you can finish your order online by selecting standard or express delivery available nationwide, with same-day dispatch for eligible orders. We also offer Click & Collect through local stores at no additional charge, with collection availability confirmed at checkout.
