John Lobb is a legendary manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a core of the shoe industry 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.
Technology is used, but sparingly. For example, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the characteristic snap of the knife blade hitting the cutting table. With special blades, they shape the leather in the old-fashioned way.
Production is intentionally small, with only 450–500 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 typical factories. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing a leaky sole to be removed without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb chooses only the finest leather, particularly from premium French calfskin. Only slightly more than half of the leather is usable for uppers, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.
The line combines heritage designs with modern updates. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, now feature a sleeker silhouette. The Sennen double monks gained longer straps and a reinforced sole. The Lopez model, introduced in the mid-20th century, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah shoes, which are produced yearly in various colors and materials.
Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb stands as one of the pillars in world-class shoemaking.
