The John Lobb brand is a legendary manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a core of the shoe industry in the 17th century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory continues to uphold the craft techniques developed in the 1800s.
Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. Specifically, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, plastic templates are produced, which are handed to clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife striking 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 feels like near-bespoke manufacturing. Employees switch between twenty shoe types in a day, instead of repeating one routine step like in typical factories. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb chooses only the finest leather, particularly from young French calf hides. Only about sixty percent is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes supporting details.
The line combines timeless classics with contemporary tweaks. The City II Oxfords, for instance, now feature a sleeker silhouette. The Sennen model gained refined buckles and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in the 1950s, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah trainers, which are offered annually in different shades and textures.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb stands as a defining name in English shoemaking.
