1 Galoshes 1: Overshoes from the USA
“Galoshes” was originally an expression used in Vienna
to mean overshoes made of rubber. Although this
expression is used colloquially nowadays for all sorts of
shoes or boots, it is hard to find rubber overshoes – even
though they are very practical! You can take them everywhere
with you, e.g. rolled up in a large coat pocket or
even in your car. When it is rainy or muddy you can
quickly put them on and just as quickly take them off
again. This is why they are ideal for walking along
slushy pavements to work, for example, or a great help
for architects on building sites. Our galoshes come from
the USA. Sizes: 6.5–8 (40–42 EU), 8–9.5 (42–44 EU),
9.5–10.5 (44–45.5 EU), 10.5–13.5 (45.5–49 EU).

2 Galoshes 2: Overshoes “de luxe” from England
Everything said about the American galoshes above
applies here too. These are particularly robust and are
lined with fabric, just like our Wellington boots. The
sole is sturdy and thick and especially durable. The pull
tab at the heel makes this shoe easy to put on and take
off. Sizes: 5 (38 EU), 6 (39 EU), 7 (40/41 EU), 8 (42 EU),
9 (43 EU), 10 (44 EU) and 11 (45/46 EU).

Hats from James Lock
James Lock & Co. is probably the most traditional British
hat maker located in St James’s Street, London. It has
been making hats for the royal family and other gentry
since 1620. Lock also makes top hats, bowler hats and
women's hats.
3 James Lock Bush Hat
This classic felt hat is primarily worn in the country
when going for walks, horseriding, fishing or hunting,
and also used to be seen on such occasions in the
English colonies. It is ideal when you are out and about
in the country in the rain and need to keep your hands
free. The Bush hat is handmade from pure woollen felt
and provides very effective protection against the rain
for many hours at a time. This is enhanced by the 7 cm
wide brim. If the hat has become damp, the felt shrinks
slightly as it dries out. Nevertheless, its original size is
soon restored when put on the head again. Hat band
made of fine beige fabric. Available in sizes 6 3 / 4 –7 5 / 8
(55–62 EU).
