RM Williams: Where it all began
When Australian, R.M. Williams, started his company in outback Australia way back in 1932, he couldn’t have imagined that decades on he would have stores everywhere from the Big Apple to Bond Street, or that his classic designs would be worn by everyone from rock stars to royalty.
This now classic Antipodean brand began almost by accident. It was R.M. Williams’ chance meeting with a colourful character, Dollar Mick, in South Australia’s Gammon Ranges, that was to mark the start of the RM Williams journey. Dollar Mick taught his young friend the secrets of bush saddlery – Williams went on to sell his first pair of handmade boots and that, as they say, is history!
Over the following decades, R.M. himself built up a team of dedicated craftsmen in a shed behind his family home, and they set about handcrafting quality boots for bushmen across Australia. After the success of selling boots, they then diversified into bush saddlery, equipment and the company’s now trademark moleskins and jeans.
RM Williams: Today
RM Williams is a very special brand that continues to retain the loyalty of its original core customer base, whilst also diversifying into new markets. The real beauty of RM Williams classic boots and menswear is that they hit the sweet spot for comfort and style. People in the outback wear them for their comfort and durability, however, they are equally as popular amongst style-conscious city dwellers. Princes William and Harry are huge fans and Hugh Jackman is a company shareholder.
At Roxtons our customers appreciate the RM Williams combination of style, durability and craftsmanship. Let’s look at some of their most popular items:
