Canadian supplier of Hunter Wellington Boots
I received a comment about the availability of Hunter Wellingtons in Toronto. I decided to email Hunter of Scotland Ltd to find out. I figured there would not be many Canadian distributors. I actually expected there to be none. I was wrong there is one. The London Trading Post is located in Bobcaygeon, Ontario. They do have an ecommerce website, so it’s possible to order some. So, while there are no local retailers there is somewhere where you can purchase authentic Hunter Wellingtons in Canada (it’s damn pricey otherwise).

The Welly Boot Song - Billy Connonly
Wellies they are wonderful,
oh wellies they are swell,
Cause they keep oot the water,
an’ they keep in the smell,
An’ when yer sittin in a room,
you can always tell,
When some bugger takes off his wellies.
If it wasna for your wellies
where would you be?
You’d be in the hospital or infirmary,
Cause you would have a dose of the flu
or even pluracy,
If you didna have your feet in your wellies!
But when yer oot walking,
in the country way about
An yer strolling over fields
just like a fairmer’s herd.
And somebody shouts “Keep aff the grass,”
and you think “How absurd;”
And, squelch, you find why fairmers a’ wear wellies.
There’s fishermen and firemen,
there’s farmers an a’,
Men oot digging ditches an’
working in the snaw;
This country it would grind tae a halt
and no’ a thing would graw
If it wasna for the workers in their wellies.
Noo Edward Heath and Wilson,
they havna made a hit,
They’re ruining this country,
mair than just a bit,
If they keep on the way they are goin’,
we’ll all be in the shit,
So you’d be’er ge(t) your feet in your wellies.

They have them at a children’s shoe store called Le Petit Pied. I tried them on there but they didn’t have my size. And in case you were wondering, they carry adults boots.

Thanks for your post Kim. Wellies are everywhere now. I did manage to pick up a pair of blue ones at Over the Rainbow for 50% off in Jan.
