- The John Lobb Classic Collection consists of 3 iconic models: the Lopez loafer, City II oxford, and the William double monk. Today, Kirby shares what makes this diverse trio so special and why he would love to add them to his wardrobe.
About John Lobb Paris
In 1976, John Lobb was acquired by the Hermès Group. However, the London bespoke workshop, John Lobb Ltd, remained in the hands of the family, and continues to operate independently from its premises at 9 St James’s Street. The Paris bespoke atelier, the By Request service and ready-to-wear collection, as well as all the other John Lobb boutiques, are all part of the Hermès-owned company.

Absolutely one the best made gentleman’s video on TH-cam. Period..... Your knowledge, passion is quite impressive and video content is outstanding. Your tips are costing me a lot of money, but so well worth it.
Wow, thank you! I wish TH-cam would give us some more views!
Kirby "High Stitch Density" Allison
LOL.
Thank you kirby for educating us. Good job..
This video prompted me to pick up a pair of JL Oxford half cap Suttons off eBay for $120, can't wait for them to arrive.. thanks
Thank you for your very interesting video! I have just had my William IIs dating from 1991 transformed by Jean-Jacques (the well-shod shoemaker from Lyon in France) & dyed by Boris (Les patines de Francette in Lyon)👏
Kirby and Lobb, it doesn't get any better. =)
I love these shoes...
Love the Lopez. Got myself one in soft grain leather. It stands out and is incredibly well made. Another loafer favourite of mine from JL is Keyne which Is a whole cut loafer .. the aesthetics and the attention to detail blows me away every single time.
Great video Kirby, love your passion for shoes.
I find the tanned inner present in two of the offerings here enchanting.
Love your jacket! (still watching the review) but please I prefer light brown shoes for reviews because it's easier to notice the details
And also hope to see more brands like tlb artista line for example (we've had too much of John lobb gazziano Carmina edmonds..)
Anyway love your content keep it going 👍
That dark purple, light killing wall makes it almost impossible to see a black shoe.
Noted!
I bought a pair of William about 5 years ago and I'm still breaking them in:-) Tough as nails.
Just curious why you haven't you discussed/reviewed Crockett & Jones in your videos?
Hi Kirby! I just received my New pair of John Lobb Lopez shoes in Brown Suede. I'm just double checking with you that I should treat them with Saphir Super Invulner Waterproofing Spray before I wear them outside...per your Suede Video!!
In my opinion:
I would only go for JL London as Hermes is more a fashion brand. But my choice would be Saint Crispins. Is there a video about SC maybe in the future? Still great video as always. Hope you and your family is COVID-free and in good health.
Thank you Kirby..
I saw a pair of shearling lined boots for $2,000. Half off for $1000. Should I buy them?
I generally like the heritage of owning a pair of John Lobbs (even JL Paris). However the premium for this heritage is very steep. If the more conservative styling from Lobb would appeal to me I would save a few hundred dollars by buying a pair of Edward Green's instead.
Certainly a premium. For sure. Here in the United States, that premium also pays for a better retail network that is basically nonexistent for EG. But these shoes are all in the same ballpark. Differences at this point is nuanced and subtle.
Hi Kirby, love your John Lobb videos, would love to see a review about Gaziano & Girling classic line. Thanks
Great suggestion! I'd absolutely love to review their Classics range! It's very intriguing!
@@kirbyallison We need J.M. Weston and Corthay too. Perhaps St Crispin. Keep up the good work. I love your content.
Thank you
We wfh now
. Slippers all the way
Is this the music from Benet Foddy's Getting Over It?
Very classy
Hi Kirby! I just discovered your channel and your website and am loving them both and planning an order. I have a question for you... I’m planning on buying a pair of black captoe oxfords and have a budget of about $500. I’ve been looking at a pair of Carminas in the “rain” last. Any other shoes/brands in that price range that you recommend I check out?
Vass shoes Budapest. Highest quality standards matched or supersedes only by very few and especially small shoe makers.
William Lobb created the double monk eh? Awesome
Nice
Hey I found a great quality shoe tree for 30 Euro it there a big difference between the ones you sell for 200+ Bucks ?
Not really, the shoe tree they sell for 200 + bucks you are paying for brand name it makes no different for 30 bucks shoe tree i mean if it is cedar shoe tree that absorb moisture from shoe.
He has shoe trees for 35 usd. He also offers better made, more supportive shoe trees that are more expensive.
Billy M. Shoe tree is to absorb moisture from shoe after wear which cedar shoe tree of 30 +bucks does 200+ bucks do the same work. Moreover shoes trees are build in different ways to accommodate shoe but the treatment and the aroma is the same in most cases people pay for brand name that makes it expensive believe it or not.
Depends, better off getting their lasted shoe tree than from other brands that cost 200 bucks. It’s made to fit the shoes.
Oh wow I wasn't expecting to see no fudging and that type of heel seam at the back from a shoe of this price...
At this price point, I'd expect it all! lol. They're fantastically well-made.
I like brown more than black.
I'm guessing they're paying him for this? seems like an Ad... i don't know about ever buying a pair of 2k john lobb Ready-to-wear.... lets see a carmina lineup though :D
I wish they were paying me... I'm trying to convince them to fly me to Paris to film about their bespoke workshop or to Northampton to film about their RTW factory... but no luck so far. If you know anyone, put in a good word!
I even had to return the shoes! lol
@@kirbyallison I certainly appreciate the honesty. A bit unfortunate you had to give those beauties back though
Owning a pair of JBs would be the dream, but by wallet can only afford a pair of Clarks.
Better dream of Vass shoes. They are handmade and your wait will be much shorter due to them costing less than half of what Lobb shoes cost.
Where can I buy J.Lobb’s productions in Viet Nam.? Thk
No idea... but I'm sure you can in HK if you ever travel there.
とても格好いいよね😎
I agree! 😉
Try the shoes in your next videos and give us your Opinion 👍🏻
That's tough... for one, we have to return all of these shoes. Secondly, they are not all sent in my size. And, lastly, it's difficult to truly judge the fit of a shoe without breaking them in.

?
For the price I wouldn't wear them out of the house for fear of scuffing them.
Ah... but that's when they really become beautiful.
I always re-color the soles after use.
I replied to a promo by John Lobb asking about gemming and they didnt bother to reply. If they treat potential customers like that, I will not be paying thousands for RTW and yes I can afford all these shoes 10000 times over. Which reputable makers use SPI of 4?
No reputable makers use a SPI of 4... that's Allen Edmonds territory.
What was your question about gemming.
@@kirbyallison Interesting but they are two different markets/price points. I have never had shoes made less than 12 and if MTO never less than 9. I read (shoegazingblog) JL use gemming on their RTW. I wanted to know if this was London and/or Paris. If it can be dispelled that would be helpful.
@@teenoso4069 JL London (St. James) is bespoke only, no ready to wear. They are handwelted. According to Justin Fitzpatrick, 95% of all goodyear-welted shoes use gemming, including JLParis, but there's nothing wrong with that. www.theshoesnobblog.com/2013/04/mythbuster-gemming-is-bad.html
@@pc239 That's good to know. Ta
