The John Lobb factory is among the most renowned manufacturers in the British shoemaking hub of Northampton, a city that rose to prominence as a center of footwear production in the 1600s. Although Hermes Group has owned the company since 1976, the factory continues to uphold the craft techniques developed in the Victorian era.
 
Modern machines are present but secondary. For example, the laser is not applied directly to the hides. Instead, lasers create plastic patterns, which are handed to skilled cutters known as clickers. Their title comes from the clicking sound of the knife touching the cutting table. With special blades, they shape the leather in the old-fashioned way.
 
Production is carefully restricted, with only no more than five hundred pairs made each week. This approach resembles bespoke work. Employees often handle many designs in a single day, instead of repeating one routine step like in typical factories. Every shoe is built with Goodyear welting, allowing the soles to be replaced without damaging the upper.
 
In line with Hermes, John Lobb sources the best-quality hides, particularly from six-month-old French calves. Only 60% of each hide is usable for uppers, while the remainder becomes minor leather goods.
 
The range combines heritage designs with subtle refinements. The City II Oxfords, for instance, were slightly reshaped. The Sennen double monks gained longer straps and a thicker sole. The Lopez loafers, introduced in the 1950s, now include a rubber sole and fresh shades. Newer icons include the Porth sneakers and the Levah shoes, which are offered annually in a mix of colors and materials.
 
Through its balance of heritage and innovation, John Lobb remains a benchmark in the British footwear industry.
