John Lobb Appreciation Thread

[peppercorn78]

I know the stock answers are William, Phillip, City, Lopez.

For me it’s William 2 and Warwick! I have both of those and love them. Warwick is the absolute perfect austerity. No other house makes such a balanced pattern.

William is the iconic JL shoe. My preference is the Vale and Chapel.

William 2, Cavendish & Russell.

I think JL have spoilt the William though by releasing it in the Moorland Grain leather, for me personally it cheapens the style. It was such an iconic shoe, dress up or down, jeans or suit....

The chapel and vale are up there with the best and instantly recognisable as JL. The naseby is another old favorite

Shoes delivered to my friend. I asked him to take pictures.

After watching the Hanger Project video on YouTube with Daniel Wegan and G&G bespoke, I’ve accepted the fact that my feet will never be perfect porportions and look as good as the samples.

Either way, they're beautiful shoes.

I agree that the finishing and detailing was very well done. The soles are a very soft suede like leather.

Sorry to post this here but I have been thinking to find a new home for my dream pair after keeping it in storage for years. To me it's truly marvelous and one of a kind but unfortunately too big for me.
Let me know if you have interests.

Gents:

I have decided to move out my shoes that fit like a US 11.5D. (I am moving towards Lobb 11E from now on.) Sale includes my Lobb 10.5E's (shipped with Lobb boxes and shoe bags) as well as my rare Alden 11D Van Last Ranger Color 8 Shell lace up and my 11.5E Snuff Suede Chukka. as well as my Gaziano & Girling 11E. I have posted all of these used (no returns) in Buy & Sell at $250 or so shipped, PayPal preferred, and if you buy two or more Lobbs I will include one pair Lobb shoe trees. I have one pair Alden shoe trees if you buy both Aldens. The G&G comes with a G&G shoe tree (no box). I have priced these to move. If you are interested, please let me know.

Beautiful pair. The main justification for going bespoke should be the exact fit along with the ability to spec out the smallest of details on the pair.
You should not get too hung up on the width-to-length ratio if they are comfortable to wear. Embrace that they were custom lasted for your shape.

That one Hanger Project video with Daniel Wegan is starting to put the shoes in perspective. Even though I haven't gotten a hold of the shoes just yet, I am appreciating them more.

Yea but just like suit it’s suppose to make you look better, no? I suppose there are more physical constraints with shoes than suits...
