I have just watched a program on the business channel on Sky TV, and was quite shocked to discover that the well known Ugg Australia boot, is in fact not Australian!?
The documentary discussed the battle between the Aussie version of the infamous sheepskin boot and the sickening US brand. After many years of my own ignorance about this issue (feel bad), I discovered that a US company that shall remain nameless for the time being, had bought the copyright to the name UGG, and if any other company dared to even speak of it, would be sent to hell. Well that is to say sued until they faced a life of poverty and misery!
Here's a little history about the UGGs origination in AUSTRALIA!
All info here is sourced from http://www.australian-uggs.com/history-of-the-ug-boot.htm
The Australian ugg boot traces its origins back to at least early last century when World War I pilots were pictured wearing their fleece-lined "Fug Boots" (Presumably flying ugg boots!). Blue Mountain Uggs go back to 1933 with shearers finding them cosy and warm and in the late 1950's, Mortel's Sheepskin Factory began producing a line of "apache ugh boots". Then in the late 1960's Australian surfers decided it was real cosy to jump out of the surf and into a pair of sheepskin boots to help get warm. Their original ugg boot style was very basic - essentially two pieces of sheepskin in the shape of a boot joined together down the centre-front and back with a soft sole attached to the bottom. Yes - they didn't even have hard soles. In fact, they were really only a glorified sock.
The late '60's saw uggs on Bells Beach in Victoria and perhaps the biggest manufacturer at the time was in South Australia. Further manufacturing was occurring in Western Australia from Albany right up to Perth.
The general consensus is that the name is coined from the term "ugly boot" and ever since then, Australians have referred to their sheepskin boots as ugg boots, uggies or uggs. Regardless...
