Hunter Wellingtons – A History:

Hunter wellingtons were first established by an American entrepreneur, Henry Norris who founded Hunter Boot Ltd (as the North British Rubber Company initially) in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Hunter wellington soon became both a practical wellington for many, e.g. farmers, and a fashionable wellington. However, it was during World War I that the sheer practicality of the Hunter wellington was found with its distribution to over a million soldiers. These were again distributed in World War II before they soon became a fashionable, practical wellington for many, no more so than in the 1950's when the Original Green Hunter Wellington was introduced.

Remaining popular today, Hunter continue to make wellingtons that adhere to their original designs and qualities. However, Hunter have also adopted various different fashion styles, making wellingtons that are not only practical but stylish. What's more, Hunter are constantly introducing new designs and styles that are built upon the original Hunter wellington. See our informative guide below for the fantastic range of Hunter wellingtons available today.
