John Lobb Appreciation Thread

[Equus Leather]



Haha Charlie, may be you can try making a belt inspired by the Chapel double monk, I own this monk shoes & love it a lot.

In museum calf the best.

Interesting thought! We probably could...

With the exception of maybe the Loafer don't get that collection at all. Why pay Lobb for a pair of trainers/sneakers/whatever they are? This is the difficulty in diversifying your range I guess - the old fashioned types sneer at your reinvention

Quoting myself to to make plain am I was the old fashioned type in question and was not snarking at anyone......

Probably not, wearing your harness Scott belt with lobb loafers.

But I have to say, the harness leather softs quite fast, can I make it strong again? (in fact should not saying here)

It's a direct response to Berlutti:

The most pronounced swing of the pendulum took place at Berluti, the former boutique shoemaker now owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. In 2011, the company appointed an artistic director, Alessandro Sartori, who rolled out a fashion collection, opened stores worldwide and began to show his designs on the runway at Paris Fashion Week. There, every look was accessorized with a $1,580 sneaker called, significantly enough, Playtime.

Make of this what you will:

change has arrived in the form of Paula Gerbase, a London fashion designer known for her slightly esoteric tailored clothing line, 1205.

She has never before designed shoes.

^Yep. Another proxy war b/w Hermes and LVMH.

I'll send you a PM - we shouldn't derail this thread

Sorry for this noob question -
John Lobb marked with a circle "S" on the lining are seconds? JL marked with a red star on the lining are final sale items?
Thanks in advance!

No offense to anybody but this has to be one of the driest threads on the forum. Too much yada yada and not enough photos of beautiful Lobbs.
