Hi.
Back on this website after a few years away.
I'm Andy from Manchester.
6 foot 5 and 140kg.
Since I was a child I've always enjoyed wearing wellies.
I can fondly remember getting my first pair of green hunters as a kid.
Nowadays I'm a lot taller and heavier but my welly fetish has continued.
With being very tall it's impossible to find boots that are knee length on me. So I've cut down a pair of le chameau waders that come to just over my knee. I really enjoy wearing them with dark jodphurs and a green waxed jacket to country shows.
Occasionally people stare at my boots which I really enjoy. I wore them to a show yesterday which was really exhilarating.
Hoping to catch up with similar folk.

I have had a 'thing' for wellies & rubberwear since I first became a teen, I am still lusting after guys in wellies nearly 70 years later.

Same here. I can remember getting my first pair of green hunters as a teenager.

I love to wear wellies and waders with a full rainsuit or coverall, especiallt if they're unlined like Nora Dolomite boots. If you're andydan on ebay I usually check out your listings for some good looking wellies and waders, they're usually too big for me though, I'm only a 10.

I'm a different Andy. I'm from the Manchester area.

I'm approaching 51 years of age and I don't remember not being excited by wellington boots! Even at a very young age I experienced pleasing sensations when I pulled on a pair of wellies.

So did I and I am quite a few years older than you. That welly effect is something you never really loose, no matter what else wears out, it remains.

I love the wellies effect.

You have some wonderful photographs Saltmarsh_Drifter, and some very classic wellies, but it was those black rubber gloves that caught my eye.............What a wonderful sight to behold, wellies and gloves.

Ah yes, the Marigold Emperor ME107 rubber gauntlets - they are wardrobe essentials for people of our kind!
