John Lobb shoemakers is a legendary manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a shoemaking capital in the 17th century. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory continues to uphold the craft techniques developed in the Victorian era.
Technology is used, but sparingly. For instance, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to clickers. Their title comes from the distinctive “click” of the knife touching the cutting table. With traditional knives, they cut the hides manually.
Production is carefully restricted, 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 welting, allowing the worn sole to be changed without damaging the upper.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from young French calf hides. Only about sixty percent is appropriate for main shoe parts, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.
The collection combines heritage designs with subtle refinements. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen double monks gained refined buckles and a reinforced sole. The Lopez loafers, introduced in 1950, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah shoes, which are produced yearly in different shades and textures.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb stands as a defining name in English shoemaking.
