John Lobb – Chambord II in Moss Green

Waikiki

April 10, 2010

When you hear the word “moss,” it doesn’t really bring to mind a pleasant image. Non-vascular plants living in damp and shady locations and exquisite footwear don’t really go hand in hand.

Names aside, the typical image of “moss” and John Lobb’s “moss green kendal calf” are polar opposites. John Lobb’s moss green kendal calf is great example of JL’s more unusual, but alluring shades of leather. Best described as a greyish-brown, it will look equally wonderful matched with navy blue, ash greys, and earthy tones. Green stitching throughout is a subtle and interesting touch and the handsewn vamp and split toe seam are examples of exemplary shoemaking skill.

Our version has a double leather sole which tapers to a single leather sole at mid-sole, unnoticeable to the untrained eye, but well appreciated by a shoe connoisseur.
