    John Lobb Appreciation Thread

    Depends on the Lobb last my friend. The new last nowadays are slimmer, pointy & sharper looking for the younger generation. JL, EG, AE = Yes....most guys on SF can. Cole Haan, JL, EG, AE = a BIG YES :-)..... Maybe your female colleague been reading the SF forum to troll you ;) Have fun...

    John Lobb Appreciation Thread

     The quality control of JL is immensely insane. Irrespective of how many pairs they make and The goodyear welted method - their motto was once "the bare maximum for a man" JL still stand by that when it comes to aesthetics and finishing! Backed by Hermes, they have control (if not total)...

     For new customers from the US, you'll need to approach one of Vass preferred retailers (Ascot Shoes & NMWA).

    Boots Boots Boots - For Boot Guys Only

    Lovely boots Jazzmenco. I rarely give out positive reviews J there must have been a lot of thinking behind those boots and characteristics of the colourful “Buday Charm” We can see they’re a massive fan of colours and stitches.

    I am not a big fan of black, period. Or their museum black – the marbling or mottling effects reminds me of mouldy stale stilton. It’s naturally uneven and in sunlight looks like the ebola virus. But Black is a must for the Luffield.

    some of the most iconic models!!! Good job!! .....I can spot a pair of Becketts & Chapel from miles away. If you're a fan of boots - try adding the Brookland to your stash. https://www.google.co.uk/#q=john+lobb+brooklands

    What initially attracted you to working with John Lobb? Paula Gerbase: The challenge. I’m quite curious, [and] I’m always interested in learning. [Also], I’m a true shoe geek. I’ll find something humorous, like using a "derby detail on an oxford shoe, when everyone around me doesn’t."...

    Give it a couple years and they will have lost 50% or more of their loyal customers...........some of the new designs reminds you of the Prada and Gucci rubbish!!

    MTO vs. Bespoke (shoes)

    Agree with the above from SoGent. If you're ever in the UK the following bespoke makers are: 1) Fosters & Son 2) Cleverleys 3) John Lobb London 4) Gaziano & Girling The European Houses 1) Vass 2) Berluti 3) Corthay 4) Saint Crispin 5) Crockett & Jones Paris

    @Jazzmenco I have a similar pair by Lobbs on the 7000 - this pair and the angle of the photos reminds of the exact shoe. Back in the days, Lobbs red museum was called something.... something Cherry or something beginning with C.....The Vass Red Cognac you have is pleasingly graceful!

    I feel for you @ap10046, it’s bloody painful!!! But I am trying to play it “naturally” and take the odd 250mg Naproxen and keep off “some” food high in purines: Anchovies, Grains, Gravies, Kidneys,Liver, Sardines, Sweetbreads, Asparagus, Bacon, Beef, Bluefish, Bouillon, Calf tongue, Carp...

    I've not post for some time.....this re-occurring Gout preventing me from wearing good shoes (must keep away from the Stout, Dr orders :-) But gotta love this thread, for its entertainment value; dose of laughter; sophisticated characters and the "Vass Charm" - coupled with the odd psychopaths.

    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

    There's a limit of 3 or 5 pairs per person - so difficult for anyone to Proxy. But deals at these places are real decent - I have seen subs and perfect grade shoes for £295. Close to cost price!!!! Malford of London did a great job of proxying for everyone last year.
