A better comparison would be your RTW JLP length vs your bespoke JLP length.
My G&G is ~1/2" longer than my JLP, but on the other hand my JLP bespoke is about the same or a tad bit shorter than my JL RTW. Both are very comfortable though.
Pure class.
I did not know that, good to know. Like it much.^ you totally misunderstand my point. I'm not saying length has to do with fit. I'm just saying that Lobb Paris tries to deemphasize the foot and cuts the shoe much closer to the foot than other makers (your "second skin" reference). That goes for the whole shoe, although length is the way in which its most visible to the naked eye. As for whether that correlates to fit, it depends on what you like. I'm sure there are some who like a roomier feel, although I bet Lobb could do that as well. I'm just saying that as a stylistic matter, Lobb makes a smaller and closer shoe. I imagine that leaves less room for error, but I'm not a shoemaker.
