Hi Barb
wellington boots
from wikipedia
The Wellington boot, also known as rubber-boots, wellies, topboots, gumboots, or rainboots are a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots. It was worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. This novel "Wellington" boot then became a fashionable style emulated by the British aristocracy in the early 19th century. The boot thus became known, in British English, by its proponent: Wellington.

Is that what you mean?

Roland

AHA !! but not quite "to the hips" I think. But, thank you.

Question: Where does the shortform "wellies" come from ? or should I say "from where does the shortform wellies come?" to be grammatically correct.
