RM Williams is doing something right. I was having a chat with one of their managers in late 2022, he advised they were making 500 leather belts per day. Just heard from an insider three days ago, that RM are currently making 1,300 belts per day. Nov 2024. From a saddlemaker Down Under.
Anyone interested in the history of Reg Williams and the brand, RM himself wrote some books which are still available. Very interesting read. Beneath Whose Hand is one title.
Current price RM boots elastic sided is AUD$700 pair. Aussie Army now issue elastic sided RM Williams boots for general duties and parade boots! For at least 8 years this has been going on. When the soldier is issued the boots, he 'can have any colour he wants, so long as it is black!' I have a pair myself. From a saddlemaker Down Under.

Of course it matters who owns RM Williams. I remember when Doc Martins sold out, manufacturing was moved overseas and quality went down the gurgler.
Yes absolutely. What a sad time it is when that happens. Docs aren't the only example either
excellent video about good old RM, i have seen/ felt quite a few which is as far as i could go😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope it helps in your overall decision 🤞 😃
Great vid!! Minato looking good too.
Isn't he! So cool !
In 2001, I purchased RM Williams boot for £175.
Still have them? How do they look?
