It’s getting chilly in the Southern Downs, and the best way to beat the chill is to Ugg up.
Rose City Wool & Skins in Palmerin Street, opposite the post office, has Uggs and slippers in all sizes and colours to suit all tastes.
They have been operating since 1985 and are truly the local expert in how to get you through the colder months.
Locals know it’s time to pull out the woollies when they see the iconic alpaca in the window return.
Owner Tony Gilchrist leases the storefront for six months of the year, arriving just in time for locals to pick up what they need for the colder months
He sells out of a warehouse in town for the rest of the year.
Tony said the alpaca hoodies are proving quite popular, and he recently had a woman return to the store for two more shortly after buying her first.
“We have plenty of products to keep people warm in the coming months including Ugg boots, slippers, sheepskin shoes and scuffs, as well as plenty of sheepskin blankets,” Tony said.
The store has a huge range of beautiful cow hides, roo hides, saddle blankets, and sheepskins – all at great prices.
You can find both single and double sheepskins in-store.
All products are made from Australian sheepskin.
Tony stocks a massive range of boots in various styles and colours, all designed to keep you warm during winter.
Boots come with a range of grips, and a range of heights.
The shop even has a line of Ugg boots with a heavy-duty sole, perfect for hiking and camping.
Rose City Wool & Skins is open from Monday to Saturday.
