Lobb St. James is the original, iirc. St. James only does full bespoke, no ready to wear. Lobb Paris offers besoke and ready to wear. Lobb Paris is owned by Hermes.

The best thing you can do here is get good at the Search function that lives in the bar at the top of the page. I just searched on "Lobb Paris James" and got 68 results. Not all of those will be helpful, but that's how it goes.

This thread might be a good place to start.

The quick explanation is that Lobb Paris is owned by Hermes and produces ready to wear shoes while Lobb St. James is independent and does only bespoke (I think).

A lot of people are confused by the John Lobb saga.

I went on a blog where a connaisseur was talking about the John Lobb Mogador (a bespoke JLP model) with a picture of the St james shop.

When Hermes bought the Paris and London RTW shops ,an agreement has been made that they will not offer bespoke in London at all.
The Lobb owners kept the St James shop which is offering bespoke only and JLP is developing their own bespoke ateliers in Paris .
