About Us
We are Since 74, an Australian owned, Australian made manufacturer of the finest quality sheepskin boots. We've got over 50 years of experience crafting Australia's most iconic footwear. Our heritage dates back to the 1970s, when sheepskin boots were first innovated in our Australian backyard. Under the watchful eye of a young sheep classer from the Australian country, it was then that our bespoke workshop started turning out premium quality sheepskin boots and accessories, one piece at a time.
Now five decades on, our authentic sheepskin boots continue to be handcrafted from start to finish at our custom built workshop in South East Queensland, where we work tirelessly to maintain quality workmanship, luxurious comfort, and timeless style in each and every pair of footwear we make. We don't use conveyor belts or employ mass production techniques in the crafting of our boots. Instead, you’ll find one-of-a-kind leathers, the wooliest of Australian merino sheepskins, and traditional sheepskin boots being artfully crafted by our talented makers, most of whom have mastered their craft over decades of practice and precision.
Many of our styles from the 1970s have withstood the test of time, and we still produce a premium range of classic boot styles in neutral, earthy hues. A meticulous balance of heritage and innovation is key in our lines of boots, meaning your favourite classics have been enhanced with features like anti-slip, hardwearing soles and colour rich durable binding, to guarantee the longevity of your boots. In other ranges, we’re constantly changing, launching seasonal styles at the turn of every season, and challenging the stereotype of traditional sheepskin boots with fresh colours, modern designs and unique features.
No matter what style you prefer, each pair of our boots are made from only the finest Australian merino sheepskin, combining premium quality materials with the finest Australian workmanship to ensure that our authentic sheepskin boots are the best quality in the world.
At Since 74, our handmade, Australian approach is forever flourishing in the face of cheaply constructed, mass-produced sheepskin boots, which are made offshore and can fall apart at the seams after a single season. It turns out there’s no comparison for our ‘real deal’ genuine Australian sheepskin boots, also referred to by us as our 74s.
If you’d like to observe our uniquely Australian manufacturing process, we also offer limited opportunities to participate in an exclusive tour of our Since 74 workshop. Due to year round demand, we are only able to accommodate a select group of visitors each month to share in the magic of one of Australia’s most iconic industries, so if you're interested, please email hello@since74.com and we'd love to help you out.
