John Lobb deep blue museum calf

[zjpj83]

I want to get a pair of Lobbs in blue. I'm trying to decide between the Becketts and the Luffield. Which of these do you think would look best in this color?

I think the color lends itself more naturally to a derby than oxford. I would go with Luffield in blue. That being said, the Chapel double monk also comes in museum blue and that could be incredible too.

I love this color. I prefer the look of the Luffield to the Beckett in blue, but that's just my opinion. I actually almost picked up a pair when I was last in the boutique, but I couldn't figure out what I'd wear them with. What do you wear with blue shoes?

I don't know folks, I'm leaning towards the Becketts.. I have this grayish glennplaid suit with blue in it that I think the Becketts would work really well with.

i have seen the chapel in the museum blue and it does look great and is on my wish list for 2007!

Both of your choices look very elegant. Of course we will need pictures with the suit. I agree with aportnoy that the double monks might be the piece de resistance, but not everyone loves monks with a suit.

I would go with Luffield in blue if it was me.

Any pictures of this color on an actual shoe? It looks much too bright from the website but if its a more pale blue then i think it could work. If i could i would buy as many lobbs as i could in the Parisian or Chestnut brown mesuem calf.

what i am interested in is the red museum calf.
whether it is bright red or toned down i dont care i think it would be great to own.

but i would definitely want to see a blue museum in a photo as well. i just cant picture it yet.

I love their "claret" calf which is a nice burgundy. Hopefully the red is a toned-down cordovan shade too. This is the blue on the Luffield:

Sorry, no photos to offer, but I can say that it is a deep, rich, blue. Not nearly as light, to my eys, as it appears on the Lobb site.

Edit: Bah! and zjpj83 beats me to my little comment with pictures no less.

wow that lookss very interesting and very good.

the museum blue sort of looks like a very "aged-cheese patina" black almost to me.

Man, Those are sweet! Definetly not a shoe I would personally buy without adding more staples to my collection but if you have the disposable income i would certaintly go with those not seeing the oxfords.

The Luffield is an awesome shoe. Do you think you can pull it off in blue? It a bit flamboyant, don't you think?
