I love the JL2010 better than other JL buckles.
Chapel is the 2nd one I love, but a little weird while seeing it from the top.
And I have already bought one last week.
Waiting for the delivery now.

JL Monk Strap shoe care question:

I have the "William" in Buffalo Tan and in Black. Both shoes have a delicate pebblegrain quality to the leather. When I polish them with leather conditioner, it seems that the leather becomes smoother and smoother thus reducing the pebblegraininess. I want to maintain the pebblegrain texture. Any suggestions on which product and/or shoe care method to use?

Good call. They are gorgeous.

This pair of bespoke (made to measure) double strap monk leather shoes from John Lobb's Mogador collection is estimated to cost around 4,000 euros.
From here.

So maybe they are £400 not £4000!
