John Lobb is one of the leading manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that became famous as a shoemaking capital in the seventeenth century. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory remains committed to the craft techniques developed in the Victorian era.
Modern machines are present but secondary. For instance, lasers are not used to cut leather. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the characteristic snap of the knife blade hitting the cutting table. With traditional knives, they cut the hides manually.
Production is intentionally small, with only roughly 450 to 500 pairs made each week. This approach resembles bespoke work. 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.
Similar to Hermes, John Lobb chooses only the finest leather, particularly from six-month-old French calves. Only 60% of each hide is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes smaller accessories.
The collection combines timeless classics with contemporary tweaks. The City II black Oxfords, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen model gained elongated straps and a thicker sole. The Lopez classic, introduced in the mid-20th century, received subtle color and sole innovations. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah sneakers, which are released each season in various colors and materials.
Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb stands as one of the pillars in world-class shoemaking.
