JOHN LOBB's Spring 2012 selection of footwear -at the recent media preview-is-as always, a high-end collection of beautifully crafted footwear (and accessories) for men...
The 190-step process, often taking weeks and completed by highly trained craftsmen schooled in the traditional leather selection, assembling techniques (by hand!!) and time consuming finishing techniques of old school English bootmakers-that gives life to a John Lobb pair of shoes-guarantee the finest in monk straps, oxfords, derbys, loafers...etc...and with the newer lasts..."a little pointier" for Spring 2012...
A younger take on bespoke quality RTW. The details and proprietary materials including the supple grain leathers- are meticulous executed/selected-and the fluid lines/elegant proportions of the shoes-at any angle...are obvious-even in 2D.
What we loved besides everything -are the terrific colors---hand applied polish conjuring up deep tonal patinas of navy blue and a complex layered Green Misty Calf --- that can work as a neutral tone for most outfits a guy could wear.
And maintained with John Lobb after care products and services-these exceptional leather and suede kickers will maintain their handsome looks forever.
