John Lobb shoemakers is one of the leading manufacturers in Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a shoemaking capital in the 1600s. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory remains committed to the methods developed in the 1800s.
Modern machines are present but secondary. For instance, the laser is not applied directly to the hides. Instead, plastic patterns are made, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife touching the cutting table. With feather knives, they cut the hides manually.
Production is carefully restricted, with only no more than five hundred 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 soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.
In line with 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 minor leather goods.
The collection combines heritage designs with contemporary tweaks. The classic City II model, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen model gained elongated straps and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in the mid-20th century, were updated with new colors and rubber soles. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah trainers, which are offered annually in different shades and textures.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb remains a benchmark in the British footwear industry.
