RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

[Crafty Cumbrian]

Late reply, just scrolling through the thread, what suede is this Crafty? I'm in love. I've got Havana and Bone pairs and these are perfectly in the middle. Unless it's just your lighting!

Thanks mate, truth be told I can’t remember the exact colour on those...?. I’ve a gazillion and one boots tootling about. I’ll check when I get in as I keep all the boxes. If I forget comment again..

If you wouldn't mind. I would definitely buy those if it comes up again in a future season/sale, or even potentially e-mail them the colour code and see if they offer it as MTO. (Unlikely.)
Even if you have the box/model code I can e-mail them and ask what suede that code is associated with.

Dirtwood Suede Sydney Boot

Something makes me think it’s actually labelled as driftwood as opposed to how I bought them.
Those are the ones though.

Dirtwood Suede Sydney Boot

I looked into this, I found listings for Driftwood as well with colour code 15, same as those "Dirtwood" Sydneys. Since they have the same style code I suspect it is just Driftwood, like you said, and that listing is just a typo.

On that note btw for anyone wondering who may not know this but it could come in handy, the product codes tell you everything about the boot. So as an example, what is B543S_05FGCP10?
B = Type (Boot), 543 = Last (Craftsman), S = Material (Suede), 05 = Colour (Bone), F = Heel (Block), G = Width, C = Toe (Chisel), P = Sole (Comfort) and the last number is the AU size. So it's a Bone Suede Comfort Craftsman in size 10G. There are no codes afaik for the sole edging, tugs, elastic or stitching. I am unsure if/how they track that, possibly explains why I got a boot last year with the wrong elastics.

And here's what it looks like, I'm wearing it today!

Anyone has both Signature $1,000 AUD Chelsea's and regular cheaper $500 range Craftsman's. How do they differ in terms of leather quality and durability? Appreciate if you can post photos. Thank you ✌

Hi RM experts. I bought a new pair of RM Williams craftsman along with all the leather care products eg. polish, conditioner, brushes etc.

I followed all the steps... put conditioner, and then polish and found a "bubble" or "scratch" on the surface... Pretty sure it was user fault rather than manufacturer fault... as I didn't notice it when i opened the box.

Can that be "buffed" out? fix?

As I'm pretty annoyed as it's brand new and haven't even been worn...

Try to return if you can? If not you may be able to cover it up with wax and shoe cream layering.

Stick them on your feet and wear them hard mate. Plenty more scratches to come and nothing to worry about.

The Signature are of a better quality, though I really cant justify the extra cost.
