Made in England since 1937
WELCOME TO DRAPER OF GLASTONBURY
Established in 1937, R. J. Draper & Co Ltd has been making the finest quality shearling slippers, boots, gloves, and accessories for mens and womens. The company is still owned by the same family. The Glastonbury factory is the oldest sheepskin footwear manufacturer in the United Kingdom, and the Glastonbury area itself has been famous for sheepskin since the 12th century AD. Four generations of the Draper family have worked for the company, and thousands of local skilled craftspeople and their families have worked in the factory too.
Handmade in Great Britain since 1937
Our shearling slippers and boots are made by hand from start to finish. They are crafted using the ‘turned’ construction, which is highly skilled and requires strong hands and years of experience with leatherwork. There is evidence of leathermaking on our site dating back to 1886, and the Glastonbury area has been the heart of the UK’s sheepskin industry for over 1000 years, since the monks of Glastonbury Abbey began tanning skins.
LUXURIOUS SHEARLING SLIPPERS & BOOTS
We offer a wide range of shearling sheepskin products, from footwear to gloves, rugs, and accessories. They are designed to keep you warm and comfortable during the cold winter months, whilst also keeping you cool during the summer, as sheepskin is a natural material that can regulate temperature. Our shearling footwear is available in an extensive range for both mens and womens styles, from traditional to contemporary, and is made to last for years. It is time to end the throwaway fashion culture; our traditional styles will be popular in years to come, and this sustainable approach is another reason our footwear is so popular.
