1939 Pattern RAF Boots

The 1939 pattern (22/C 225-233) is the rarest of the WW2 period RAF footwear. In order to save leather the order went out to construct the leg part out of vulcanised canvas material, the problem was that the canvas absorbed water and this would freeze when the aeroplane reached the desired height, hence the short one year production period and scarcity of the original vintage items.

Today our boots are still hand-made here in Northampton, home of British boot making, the original patterns and cutting knives are still used in the production and construction of the boots ensuring authenticity.
The boots are made in limited batches, when the current stock starts to sell out, we re-order.
