Le Chameau boots & clothing 2010 / 11 season now available

It is over eighty years since Le Chameau first began hand-making their premium quality, natural rubber boots at their factory in northern France. Thus steeped in tradition and yet at the forefront of technology, the name Le Chameau is truly synonymous with excellence; excellence in materials, excellence in design and excellence in manufacture.
It takes 9 months of intense training to become a Chameau boot-maker. 9 months to acquire the unique skills which have been passed down through generations, from master to apprentice, so that the wearer has the assurance of a boot hand made with the same care and craftsmanship that they were over 80 years ago.
Everything that is true of Le Chameau’s attention to detail in boot making is evident in the clothing collection. Crafted with the country user in mind, not only is Le Chameau clothing incredibly hardwearing, but stylish and comfortable too; providing the optimum in terms of protection from the cold and wet of winter. This year we are pleased to add new models to classic favourites in our range.

Le Chameau has many years experience in providing equipment for Country Sports and related activities. We have collaborated with professional users and technical advisors at every stage of the design process. Our designs are tested in both laboratories and the field. All these factors combine to guarantee the reliability of Le Chameau products. On this page you will find all the advice and instructions necessary for the proper upkeep and use of your Le Chameau equipment.

Footwear Care Leather walking boots
Leather boots should be cleaned if dirty, preferably with lukewarm or cold water. They should then be left to dry away from any heat sources (away from radiators and not left in drying rooms etc). Once dry, it is a good idea to use a Nikwax leather boot proofer (liquid or wax) to replenish the leather’s natural water-repellancy. Dependant upon wear, it’s a good idea to polish the boot with a boot conditioner every few months/a couple of times a year – this keeps the leather nice and supple (but not too often as it can also make the leather too soft).

Fabric and suede walking boots
Same principle as above. Suede or fabric boots can be harder to clean mud off in comparison to leather boots. It is possible to purchase suede cleaner for stubborn dirt. After cleaning, again leave to dry away from heat source. Once dry, re-proof. Because suede and fabric don’t have the natural water repellancy of full grain leather, the exterior will be coated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellant) coating during production.

Rubber boots
Wash them in clean water and leave to dry. Spray on silicone spray care product and shine with a soft, dry cloth. Keep your boots in a cool and airy place, away from direct sunlight. Use the silicone spray on the full length zip to improve the zip action.

Country Clothing
tLe Chameau country clothing is easy to care for. Our garments are designed to be machine washable at 40 ° (but always read the label). Use non-biological powder, because it delays the eventual need for re-proofing. Avoid fabric conditioners when washing all fleece products.
