The John Lobb factory is a highly respected manufacturers in Northampton, a city that became famous as a core of the shoe industry in the 1600s. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory remains committed to the craft techniques developed in the 19th century.
Modern machines are present but secondary. For instance, leather cutting is still performed by hand rather than with lasers. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to specialized artisans called clickers. Their title comes from the distinctive “click” of the knife striking the cutting table. With feather knives, they carve the leather by hand.
Production is intentionally small, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach gives the sense of one-of-a-kind production. Employees switch between twenty shoe types in a day, instead of repeating one routine step like in typical factories. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welting, allowing a leaky sole to be removed without damaging the upper.
As with Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from young French calf hides. Only about sixty percent is suitable for cutting, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.
The range combines timeless classics with modern updates. The classic City II model, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen double monks gained refined buckles and a more robust foundation. The Lopez model, introduced in 1950, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah sneakers, which are released each season in different shades and textures.
Through its commitment to tradition and quality, John Lobb remains a benchmark in the British footwear industry.
