The John Lobb factory is a highly respected manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a shoemaking capital in the seventeenth century. Although the brand has been under Hermes since 1976, the factory remains committed to the methods developed in the 1800s.
Although machinery exists, tradition dominates. Specifically, 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 distinctive “click” of the knife touching the cutting table. With special blades, they cut the hides manually.
Production is intentionally small, with only 450–500 pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. Employees often handle many designs in a single day, instead of repeating one routine step like in typical factories. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welted technology, allowing the worn sole to be changed 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 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 elongated straps and a thicker sole. The Lopez model, introduced in 1950, were updated with new colors and rubber soles. Newer icons include the Porth trainers and the Levah trainers, which are released each season in a mix of colors and materials.
Through its dedication to craftsmanship, John Lobb stands as a defining name in world-class shoemaking.
