R.M. Williams (Prospect Workshop)

R.M. Williams is a globally recognized symbol of Australian craftsmanship and outback spirit. Founded in 1932 by Reginald Murray Williams, the company began in a small tin shed in Prospect, South Australia. Williams, a legendary bushman, taught himself the art of leatherworking to create a single-piece leather boot that could withstand the harsh conditions of the Australian interior. This design, the Craftsman boot, remains the brand’s flagship product, still meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in their Adelaide workshop. Beyond footwear, the brand offers a complete range of high-quality apparel and accessories that blend rugged durability with refined style. The company’s commitment to quality and its deep roots in the Australian landscape have made it a favorite among stockmen and global fashion icons alike. The Percy Street location serves as a testament to the brand’s heritage, housing a museum and workshop where the legacy of R.M. Williams’ vision is preserved for future generations who value durability and timeless Australian design.
