Online Boutique Q 312
#1
The John Lobb brand is a highly respected manufacturers in Northampton, a city that became famous as a center of footwear production in the seventeenth century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory is dedicated to preserving the methods developed in the Victorian era.

Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. For instance, leather cutting is still performed by hand rather than with lasers. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to skilled cutters known as clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife touching the cutting table. With feather knives, they carve the leather by hand.

Production is limited, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. Employees work on multiple models daily, instead of repeating one routine step like in assembly-line workshops. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welting, allowing a leaky sole to be removed without damaging the upper.

As with Hermes, John Lobb uses exceptional materials, particularly from six-month-old French calves. Only 60% of each hide is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.

The range combines heritage designs with contemporary tweaks. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen double monks gained elongated straps and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in the 1950s, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth model and the Levah trainers, which are released each season in different shades and textures.

Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb stands as a defining name in world-class shoemaking.
