John Lobb is among the most renowned manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that became famous as a shoemaking capital 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.
 
Technology is used, but sparingly. For example, the laser is not applied directly to the hides. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to skilled cutters known as 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 carefully restricted, with only no more than five hundred 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 mass-production plants. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welting, allowing the worn sole to be changed 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 suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.
 
The line combines iconic staples with contemporary tweaks. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, have been given a more elegant outline. The Sennen model gained refined buckles and a more robust foundation. The Lopez loafers, introduced in the 1950s, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah shoes, which are offered annually in a mix of colors and materials.
 
Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb remains a benchmark in world-class shoemaking.
