John Lobb – Wroxham in Parisian Brown Museum

Waikiki

March 18, 2009

A newer model from John Lobb, the Wroxham is a classic straight tip oxford with a slight twist. 4 eyelets and a handsewn detail along the side create an interesting take on this classic shoe.

  1. It’s like a little ledge for your cuffed trousers to sit on…
    Love it.

  2. Wow! Incredible shoes. Classic oxford with a twist indeed.

  3. Tom,

    Any of these left in a US9?

    Also, can you please email me on the fit.

    Thanks.

  4. Tom,

    I would like to order these…can you please comment on fit for me? Thank you.

  5. Jeffrey,

    The fit of size 8E would be like a US 9D. I would say similar to Edward Green 8.5/9D 606 Last.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  6. Tom – the Aldens in the 7D (plaza last) fit nicely. Just the right amount of room in the toes. Thanks. Was wondering what size I would be on a John Lobb 8000 and 7000 last and if you had this shoe, the Vail or Chapel in that size?

  7. Darrell,

    I would recommend a 6.5E 8000 and 6E 7000. Unfortunately we are sold out of the Chapel in your size and the Vale has been discontinued. If you would like us to special order you a pair of the Chapels please let me know.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  8. Are you also out of the wroxham in the 6.5?

    Darrell

  9. Darrell,

    Yes, sorry we are sold out of the Wroxham.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  10. Can you order the Wroxhams too or just the Chapels?

    Thanks

  11. Thanks – I will let you know. I am trying to get my hands on the Beckett shoe from one on the L.A. dealers (which is made on the 7000) last to wear with my Tux. They are supposed to be sending me a 6.5 E and are having a 6 E made to send me (that may take a while). After I get a chance to try those on, I should have a better idea of the fit so you can help me with the proper sizing for the 8000 last. Are both the Chapel and the Wroxham a shoe that will be available to order for a while now or is there a time by which I need to decide? Also, would I be able to order it in the Dark Brown Museum instead if I should choose to go that route?

    Thanks.

  12. Darrell,

    No problem. Yes, we can order the Chapel or the Wroxham for you in dark brown museum. When you’re ready I’ll double check to make sure it’s still available at that time since John Lobb discontinues models periodically.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  13. Tom,

    I received my John Lobb Becketts and the size seems to be just right. As I think about the Wroxham and/or the Chapels, I was wondering what my color choices for each style would be. I am thinking that I would not want the Chapel in the Dark Brown Museum since that would look almost the same as the Becketts I have with pants hanging over the shoe. It would be nice if maybe the Chestnut color (or similar color) that you had the vail in was available for the Chapel. As far as the Wroxham, I am leaning toward the Parisian Brown but would like to know what other options there are.

    Thanks,

    Darrell

  14. Darrell,

    Glad you found your size. Please let me know exactly what you would like as your first choice and I will inquire with John Lobb to see if it is available to order as the Wroxham has been discontinued.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  15. I think the Parisian Brown would be my first choice in the Wroxham if it can still be ordered since my Becketts are Dark Brown Museum. I guess I wasn’t sure if you were saying that it could not be ordered and were talking about my first choice of color in the Chapel instead, but I think I would like a pair of the Wroxhams if they can be ordered still before I got a pair of Chapels.

    Thanks

    Darrell

  16. My other choice in the Wroxham would be the Chesnut Museum calf.

    Thanks,

    Darrell

  17. Darrell,

    I will check with JL and get back to you. It may take a week or so though since my JL rep is on vacation this week.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  18. Darrell,

    Thanks for the patience. I confirmed that I can order the Wroxham as a MTO. If you are still interested please send me an email at tom@lsfootwear.com.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  19. Thanks Tom. I’ll let you know. The store that I bought my Becketts from happen to have my size in the Chestnut and on sale since it is a model they no longer carry. I’ll have to see if it’s a color I like.

    Darrell

  20. Hi Tom,
    Do you consider John Lobb prestige line as refined as top drawer?
    Thanks,
    Best,Guy

  21. Guy,

    I would put them neck to neck but they are different beasts. It’s best to see both in person for yourself and to make your own decision.

    Aloha,

    Tom

  22. Tom,
    I owne a woodcote lord calf in deep blue prestige line and a aintree they are wonderfull.
    I’m expecting a pair of walpole in top drawer for next december in black.
    Have you seen a walpole in top drawer?
    And what do you think about them?
    Thanks,best,
    Guy

  23. Tom,
    I will for sure.

    Aloha,
    Guy
