Formal dress hats
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.
Quality you can count on for years, not just a single season, is what R.M.Williams is all about. In 1932, Reginald Murray 'RM' Williams wasn't impressed by poor boots and saddlery, so he made products capable of surviving difficult Australian conditions without sacrificing their look. This same standard applies to the boots, belts, leather bags and wallets we have right now. You can count on us not to make flashy claims and quick trends. Instead, we focus on practical problem-solving, selecting premium materials, such as leather, denim, Australian wool and moleskin, for their resilience. From paddock to city, you want gear that backs you up, so we put durability first while keeping design honest. Our men's leather boots are still crafted at our Adelaide workshop by people who know their trade and take quiet pride in their work. All our pieces follow the spirit that guided RM: build for longevity, allow purpose to set the standard and let the result speak for itself. And if you're looking into 'formal dress hats' or 'Oxford shirt men', we stay true to crafting products built for life's journeys and ready for your next move.
The Goodyear welt construction lets us stitch a leather welt to the insole, creating a stable structure that allows the sole to be attached with strength and accuracy. The outcome is a boot designed for long, repeated days on foot, and it even makes resoling and repair possible to prolong every pair's life. The same discipline carries through our entire range, from our men's to our women's Chelsea boots. We select hides carefully and form them with our signature single-piece leather construction, finished with a reinforced heel seam. Refined over more than 9 decades, this technique for our women's and men's Chelsea boots reflects local ingenuity that leaves no room for shortcuts. Beyond footwear, premium women's clothing is grounded in practicality, function and understated style. The same thinking also shapes our quality men's clothing, including shirts, knitwear, jeans and trousers designed to simplify dressing across changing seasons. We also have boot options that suit different settings, so it doesn't matter if you're curious about 'formal dress hats' or something else. From refined leather soles for dress styles to robust rubber soles suited to outdoor settings, the variety we offer means you can be comfortable in different environments, whether you're looking up 'phone wallet crossbody bag' or 'crossbody wallet'.
You can get the right pair of boots quickly when you shop with us: just pick the style, colour and sole that align with how you wear your shoes day to day. The Comfort rubber sole is built for traction and hard-wearing performance in tougher conditions, while the Classic leather sole pairs premium cowhide with a full leather insole, light padding and a 3/4 leather sock for breathable wear. Men's sizes range from 3 to 17, while women's sizes range from 5 to 11. For men's styles, we offer narrow, regular and wide fittings, while women's styles are available in regular and wide fits. Once you've selected your pair, you can choose standard or express delivery across Australia, and same-day dispatch is offered on qualifying orders. Special orders and repairs are completed on request, and we finalise the craftsmanship first before delivery is arranged. Free 60 day returns are also available either via post or by returning the item in-store.
