John Lobb Appreciation Thread
Sorry, JPL is loosing my business. With all the newly implemented restrictions on MTO, I am shopping elsewhere. At least they should have honored my MTOs placed at the recent trunk show. Well, well, well......... I wonder if Paula Gerbase has anything to do with the recent shake-up.- mtc2000

Faded #8 is most attractive, IMO. More character than a new pair of Ravello.- mtc2000

The trashed pair is three or four year old. Worn in the rain often and even mud a few times. The one next to it is the same age, but worn probably 50 times. The newer one is three year old. Worn about a couple dozen times. Never seen rain. Ravello shell, BTW.- mtc2000
