Each year on St. Crispin’s Day, John Lobb reveals a limited-edition design of exceptional refinement - an expression of creativity and craftsmanship to illustrate why, after 150 years, John Lobb continues to be regarded as England’s finest bootmaker.
It is the first limited-edition design to be made in ankle boot form. Around the ankle, the self-lined quarters are cut to reflect the intriguing silhouette of an asymmetrical leaf. These sections are then ‘boarded’, an age-old leather-working technique specially revived for The Saint-Crépin 2012, which creates a softer feel and imparts a fine natural grain - providing a subtle contrast to the rest of the boot.
John Lobb is a brand rooted in heritage which after 150 years of rich history, continues to branch out to the future, growing and flourishing with the passing of time. With this in mind, John Lobb is pleased to announce that on St Crispin’s day 2012 the first John Lobb UK online store will be launched at www.johnlobb.com
Detailing on The Saint-Crépin 2012 is refined and minimal. A precise hand-embossed line defines and finishes the calfskin quarters; a meticulously stitched seam above the heel echoes the strong central vein of the leaf, and three waxed hand-stitches, perfectly aligned at either side of the boot’s opening, signify balance and completeness.
The ankle boot has two sides to its character: In finely-polished black and dark brown Misty Calf, its elegant lines are complemented by the sleek curves of our Prestige leather sole. In suede, the warm Loden Green and rich Dark Brown reverse-calf is lined with finest Shearling wool, and paired with a discreet October rubber sole.
