John Lobb Appreciation Thread

why are they over?

Because he bought them all and now he won't release them back. And that's a real shame.

Because I am now semi-retired and my slippers and flip flops get the most use and if my wife finds out that I'm buying more shoes she will leave me. I'm on thin ice already, she discovered my watch purchases for the last 3 years....ouch Be patient, they may be available eventually when I can convince myself to set them free...

How to get rid of a wife in 3 days. SF people seem to have an easy and fun way out. Buying shoes and watches.

A familiar refrain...

Anyone able to identify the vintage/collection for these? Marshall does not appear to be a recent model. Given they have a model name, I take them to be RTW and from the Hermes-wing of things.

Thanks in advance.

Lovely brogues (in my size). Are you keeping them?

My wife got rided of me. At least I do not hide my shoes anymore. It's a relief.

Why would a wife get rid of you because of acquiring shoes and watches? Have you tried surprising her with a pair of shoes/bags or whatever she's into each time you are getting yourself a new pair of shoes? That is, unless something like that would affect your mutual finances ..

No wife, no strife, happy life!

Question: do I need a SECOND pair of 2009 Crepins? Same exact color as the pair I already have in my (rarish) size on the bay...

Well maybe when you have a hundred pair of shoes and close to a hundred watchs

But that's the thing. Even though it has the appearance of she getting rid of you, what really happened is that you got rid of her. That's the magic, that's what I was referring to.

very much so, and at that price, it is a bargain

Nope Shoes were not the real reason; I bought her some pairs of Carmina. I want to believe the real problem was the closet space ...

need validation on this pair, I've owned and worn several pair of John Lobb shoes. I don't know if these are bespoke or not.
Insole says John Lobb and hand written "Stride 8 1/2". I don't see England or Italy on the sole or insole.

Advice?
