The Australian ugg boots 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!).

In 2003/2004 there were 106 million sheep shorn in Australia producing 480 million kg of greasy wool.
It is expected that the amount of wool produced in 2004/2005 will rise by 4% to 500 million kg of greasy wool from 112 million sheep shorn.
The Australian flock was composed of 84.6% Merino, 11.3% crossbred, 4.1% other breeds at 30 June 2003.
The wheat-sheep zone of Australia contains around 55% of the Australian sheep flock, the high rainfall zone contains around 33% and the pastoral zone contains around 12%.
At 30 June 2003, 73% of the total wool produced in Australia is produced by less than 40% of wool producing farms.
Australian wool accounted for 48% of the total used in global wool apparel in 2003/2004. 
In 2003, wool accounted for 2.4% of total world fibre use and about 3.5% of world apparel fibre use (with Australian wool approximately 2.3% of world apparel fibre use). 
Casual leisurewear is the largest clothing sector accounting for 70% of the total apparel market. 
Young adults, who dominate global discretionary apparel expenditure, are influenced more by price and performance rather than the textile fibre used. 
Worsted fabrics are made with longer fibres that produce a surface that’s smooth to touch. Woollens are made with shorter fibres that stand up from the surface and give the fabric a hairy touch. 
Wool insulates against heat and cold, is healthy, water repellent, fire resistant, naturally elastic, wears longer, is versatile, resists static, insulates against noise, resists dirt, is easy to sew, is comfortable and dyes beautifully.
