*Some are actually more than 50% off, the carcoat I bought is about 70% off.

After the Wayville and Toowoomba sale, RM has made available discounts from the comfort of your throne. From what I can see the boot sizes are quite limited. After just getting back from the Wayville sale, the only worthwhile purchase are the jacket and coats. Hopefully you can find something worthwhile for you. From what I observed some item actually gets released a few days into the sale, so they might not be available today.

Example: $489.00 (Price reduced from $699.00) — https://www.rmwilliams.com.au/comfort-craftsman-boot-khaki-s…

    Sucks that most of the non-leather goods like the clothes are imported. I’d be happy to pay the premium prices for Australian made but it’s just the same old made in India/china/bangladesh stuff, not sure it was always like that with rmw? Anyone recommend Australian made alternatives?

      • RADICALIST on 13/05/2025 - 10:20

        Last 3 days of the clearance at Wayville, they dropped the pricing of all boots to $100 each.

          Including the elastic sided boots? They dropped all non-elastic boots to $200 when I was there, but the boxed elastic boots have always been $400.

            @awesomise: Yeah, every boot was on clearance down to $100. I went on the 2nd day they marked all boots $100 and I was only able to get Adelaide, Cuban and suede elastic side boots. Comfort craftmans etc disappeared on the first day of the $100 clearance.

            I would try and go on the last 3 days of the clearance sale to grab a real bargain next time RM Clearance happens again at Wayville

      Not really. I have mixed RM shirts made in Oz, Madagascar, Vietnam and China, besides the fact they were made with different materials, I don't think they're better than one another, but I love my Madagascar-made linen shirts.

  • DingoBilly on 13/05/2025 - 10:31

    My understanding is RM Williams quality has dropped off a cliff. You're no longer buying quality, just the brand.

      I don't know either way. Clothing line maybe. But I doubt their boots have declined. Been making their boots the same way for generations.

          Every single thread about RM this atrocious video gets linked. It's entirely dedicated to complaining about synthetics in the Comfort's which are designed to have synthetic insoles. You can't compare Classic to Comfort and pretend to be surprised that a boot designed to have synthetics has synthetics.

            @japes: Rose Anvil has been debunked for their Common Projects video. I wouldn't trust their analysis for anything other than entertainment.

            In saying that, anecdotally I have heard the QA of RMs has been bad for last few years.

      I did notice their Comfort Craftsman now uses medium grain leather. When I bought mine back in 2023 it used full grain leather. Maybe that's the drop in quality? I wouldn't imagine if they're still using the same type of leather the quality would go down

      That said I got a full grain leather wallet a few months ago and it feels really nice and solid

      • japes on 13/05/2025 - 12:33

        The Comfort Craftsman is still full-grain yearling, but they offer a variety of different leather types now seasonally - lot of pull up options.

        I don't even know what 'medium grain' is.

    • robotfrom1984 on 13/05/2025 - 11:43

      Some of their clothes are now made in Australia, but there's some pieces that are made overseas so it can be hit and miss. I've got some shirts, jumper and pants that have held up.

      Can't comment on their shoes. They raised the price earlier in the year and it's hard to justify the price.

    Shitty quality for 450$ price tag after sale. Still not worth it, watch the youtuber exposed this cheap material. For $450, Thursday is way more superior and worth every penny

      I dont know why down votes tbh. Whilst I own RM boots, I refuse to pay $400 for them because the quality has dropped (yes, even at Salisbury). And at $600+ there are several brands offering superior products.

    • spaceflight on 13/05/2025 - 21:39

      watch the youtuber exposed this cheap material.

      You mean the one where he compared a Craftsman to a Comfort Craftsman and said the quality must be declining as there was a difference between two different models?

      …When the whole point of the Comfort Craftsman is that it is different to the Craftsman and has some synthetic materials like a rubber sole.

      Such an exposition!

        If you know about leather and boots that much, should have watched the video. It only went live recently a couple of months, RM Williams being dissect to the core. At the end of the day, not worth to spend for this brand anymore, just for brand shit

        • spaceflight on 13/05/2025 - 21:48
          +2

          You mean the video that went live more than a couple of months ago (more like 9 months ago) which I just explained was a pointless video as he compared the difference between two different models and said the quality must be declining because one was not like the other?

        • japes on 14/05/2025 - 07:00

          I'm into boots.

          I own Vibergs, Grant Stone's, RM's, Parkhursts, TGC (Fugushin) and have had plenty more brands including Allen Edmonds, Thursdays, Grenson and Meermin over the years.

          That video is hot dogwater. Rose Anvil rarely makes a good video (knows (profanity) for someone who is 'in' the industry) but ventures from his usual clueless into intentionally misleading, but again, probably because he's just all-round clueless.

            @japes: How do the other brands you own compare to RM's?
            I love mine but hard to justify a new pair at current prices. Is there anything more cost effective?

            • japes on 15/05/2025 - 10:52

              @SJDR: A decent pair of goodyear welted boots/shoes is going to cost you about what a pair of RM's cost outside of sale pricing. Also massively depends what kind of shoe/boot you're keen on.

              For service boots for example, Viberg is just absurdly expensive and in my opinion not worth the dollars spent (about $1600/pair), but Grant Stone's are generally regarded as the best bang for buck for high quality materials, craftsmanship, and QA. They're going to set you back about $675 plus GST and postage anyway. Parkhurst are low 600's plus postage.

              Meermin have a wide selection but you'll want narrow feet and their QA is hit and miss and the customer service isn't there. Excellent boots if you get a good pair though, which would happen more than not. Thursday Boots are about $350 plus postage I believe, but I'd honestly pay for better quality. Yes they're welted, yes the leather is fine, but the QA can be hit and miss (they have good customer support) but in my experience the soles were absolute garbage, which when you're paying $200+ for a decent resole here, you want them lasting.

              For a nice pair of Chelsea's you basically aren't going to find better than RM's here in Australia - you can still find them for around $450 during sale time and for end of season, or try outlets, but since they got rid of third-party sellers doing custom orders the average price is definitely up. I have not tried Rossi, Ariat, Baxter etc either though. TGC did some excellent shoes and boots but they're no longer available.

              That's a dogs breakfast of information but let me know what boots you're after and I can probably narrow down/help.

              • SJDR on 18/05/2025 - 08:34

                @japes: Thanks for that!
                Budget would be under 500. I'd love another pair of RM's but can't find them for that price any longer.
                I might look at Thursday boots though. I'm very light on the soles (my RM's must be close to 10 yrs old now and the original soles still look near new

                  @SJDR: Check them out. As I said if you have any particular styles in mind I might be able to help narrow the search a bit.

                  Thursday has a pretty good mix of styles and their lasts are generally pretty nice but they do casual better than dress.

    • japes on 15/05/2025 - 20:27

      It's not a bad video but the creator has been criticized for this and other videos as well.

      • RMs are expensive and maybe not so much "value for money" anymore. There are high expectations for materials and build, which is totally fair.
      • There is truth to the Comfort Craftsman Materials, since for that specific boot, criticisms about thinner leather in some areas and the use of synthetic components (like fibreboard insoles) at a premium price are understandable.

      However the video has some issues as well

      • They compared the Comfort Craftsman (designed with synthetics since 2006) to the more traditional Classic Craftsman. They're different lines for different preferences.
      • The Comfort model's synthetic elements (e.g., Poron foam insole) are not cheap either, and it isn't an hidden downgrade but rather intentional design choice for the comfort model's goals.
      • They implied that there is a massive, brand-wide quality drop based on the Comfort model, which is a stretch. Especially since the Classic line still exists with its traditional construction. Even with the different materials used, its still not a sub $200 shoe.

                  If you were interested in genuine discussion, which you clearly aren't, that's a horrific way of going about it. The follow up greens/flag comment was even more wayward.

                  If you need to justify not buying an 'expensive' pair of boots then please, go ahead and do your own research. Maybe try multiple sources and don't feel the need to announce it in future too. If you want to actually learn about welted footwear, leather, and boot quality, you'll find better places than Rose Anvil quite easily - there's people in this thread who know more about it.

                                        @japes: It’s a shame your parents never invested in hobbies or social skills — would’ve saved the rest of us from this little online personality crisis

                                          @Ozsaver88: How do you still not grasp that I'm just baiting you because it's easy?

                                            @japes: Nah, you're not baiting — you're just pathetic and starved for attention. Crawl back under your thread aka your life.

                                            You are a limp troll with no balls. Sit down and keep pretending those RM boots are hiding anything but a shriveled pair of testicles.

                                              @Ozsaver88: I'm baiting because I know you have to have the last word. As I said, I've got other boots too :)

                                                @japes: Bet those boots are the only thing that’s ever been inside anything

                                                  @Ozsaver88: That makes zero sense (bit of a theme here with you), but is also a swing and a miss. Try again.

                                                    @japes: You try so hard to be relevant, it’s almost tragic. Almost.

                                                      @Ozsaver88: Such a weird comment since nothing at all has even tried to be relevant here, including your initial response. You've actively refused to engage in relevant discussion despite my prompting and haven't even watched the video.

                                                      You also keep taking really odd swings (and misses) with your attempted insults. As I said before, it's very clear that you think you need to have the last word. You seem like a very simple person - I'm sorry that you can't let it go.

                                                        @japes: you should seek help!

                                                          @Ozsaver88: Why do you keep engaging?

                                                            @japes: I really want to help mentally ill people like yourself

    $700 for a pair of RMs at regular prices.
    I've owned quite a few pairs of RMs but the ones in the cupboard are my last
