We love to see the satisfaction on our customers faces as they walk away with a pair of our sheepskin boots or one of our leather bush hats. And we love to see the customers that we met at the same event in previous years, still wearing their hats and boots and just as pleased with them as the day they bought them. Thank you for your continued support and kind words of encouragement. It gives us a real thrill to hear how much you love our products and our service.

Stay warm this Winter with hand and body warmers!

At Bobtails Trading Company we have found a fantastic new product to keep our customers warm and cosy this winter. The crazy arctic weather we've been having here in the UK recently has made everyday outdoor tasks such as walking the dog or waiting for the bus extremely uncomfortable.  But armed with these hand and body warmers you can stay nice and warm!

You simply snap the packet and an instant chemical reaction takes place releasing lovely heat! Hand warmers are standard equipment for skiers and snowboarders but are ideal for placing in your pocket no matter what you are doing.  Grabber hand warmers last for over 24 hours!

The heatese body warmers last for 12 hours but have the added advantage of being adhesive. You can stick them to your lower back or abdomenal area which also makes them great for relief from period pain, pulled muscles or even sore joints resulting from arthritis or poor circulation.

With a warmer you'll never suffer from the cold ever again!

Caring for your Wombat sheepskin boots

With the correct care and attention your Wombat boots should last you years. At Bobtails Trading Company we recommend treating your boots before you wear them out with a water and stain repellent spray. These sprays are readily available from larger supermarkets, department stores or your local shoe shop and will prevent any dirt or oil from soaking into the sheepskin, keeping it on the surface thus making your boots much easier to clean.

Treat your Wombat boots in 3 simple steps …

1.   Spray the surface of your boots as evenly as possible with the water and stain repellent until they appear wet but not soaked.

2.   Leave your boots to dry naturally for at least 24 hours, keeping them out of direct sunlight and away from extreme heat.

3.   When dry, gently brush your boots in one direction only with a soft bristle brush to restore the even texture of the sheepskin.

Unfortunately, treating your boots will not protect your boots from all stains but it will make stains easier to remove. If your Wombat boots do become stained, you should under no circumstances put them in the washing machine. Stains must always be removed by hand in clean, cold water. There are cleansers and conditioners on the market specifically designed for sheepskin but these are not always readily available. You may have to order them from a specialist shoe shop or website. However, the good news is that normal shampoo is a great alternative. Because it is designed to be kind to even sensitive human skin and people take great deal of care over their hair, shampoo is much gentler than other soaps or cleaning products and therefore, will not cause any damage to your boots.

How to clean your Wombat boots…

1.   Dampen your boots.

2.   Squeeze out a small amount of sheepskin cleanser and conditioner (or shampoo) onto a clean, damp sponge. It is not a good idea to put the cleanser directly onto the boot in case too much squirts out. This could make any stains even worse.

3.   Using a gentle circular motion, scrub the stained areas.

4.   Rinse your boots.

5.   Allow them to dry naturally for 24 hours, keeping them out of direct sunlight or extreme heat. You may wish to stuff them with a cloth or towel to help them keep their shape.

6.   Once dry, brush lightly.

At Bobtails Trading Company we also recommend that you keep your Wombat boots in the accompanying canvas bag when not wearing them.
