John Lobb Appreciation Thread

[THKA]

That was my main problem with Nick when I purchased during one of the sales. I ordered something once and after a couple of months of not receiving anything I just cancelled my order. I know a lot of other members vouch for him and have received prompt shipping so I don't think he's a scammer but I think he just got overwhelmed with the volume.

I'm sure if you did G&G mto you'll be fine but I don't have much faith on his sales.

Thank you for replying. Its seems Nick has been busy for these years. I originally thought my case was the special one before. Now I understand the shipping delay of several months is possible for anyone. It appears that I need to consider whether cancelling the order.

May I ask one more question? How long does Nick cancel the order? The refund from a bank may need 7 to 14 weekdays without considering the refund processing time from Nick. But I don't know if he would spend much time on refund.

If I remembered correctly, he cancelled pretty quick and was quite responsive when I told him I wanted to cancel. I don't remember if he charged me when I ordered and had to process a refund or if he never charged me at all but it didn't take long.

I ordered two pairs. Hoping it's not too stretched out timing wise but hey. Well see

Got a pair of Elswick in petrol misty calf and a pair of Heath in plum. Wanted the archer in bracken but someone else grabbed them.

Killer. See, I would totally spring for a pair of the Elswicks if I didn't feel a little squeamish from my pending order.

I hope they work out for you.

What color is the petrol misty?
Couldnt really tell from the pics

 

[nickrut]

What all did you order peppercorn?

I think the petrol misty is a super dark combo of black and brown. That's what I could draw from pics. Guess I'll find out! Lol. Hard to ignore anything from the prestige collection at $650.

I ordered the 2009 Crepin about 4-5 weeks ago. Had my eye on a Claret Warwick or grape Elswick, but just doesn't feel comfortable pulling the trigger right now.

These sales are a trap. You end up buying a pair or two, you normally would not. Save for the real deal.

Thank you.

Regarding the Elswick - is it not a point of concern that the piercing will increase the creasing? Given the lack of 'guard' in the form of a toe-cap.
(All a bit contemporary for me - )
Point of curiosity.

Emoji mis-hap

 

[nickrut]

Guess I'll find out... lol. Shoes crease, doesn't bother me. Figured I could use a super dark shoe in a fairly contemporary style.

 

[peppercorn78]

Just updating the record here. Heard from Nick yesterday, and I'm looking forward to receiving my shoes very soon.

I guess I just had to be a little more patient!
