Monk Facts

The Chapel is a modern double monkstrap with a swept-back buckle. It is a rakish, masculine double monk that looks excellent with a suit but can be dressed down with ease. Rather than featuring a strap that buckles across the front of the shoe in the classic monkstrap style, the strap sweeps back towards the heel, giving the Chapel a sleek, contemporary appearance. Unlike most shoes, it does not have a seam at the heel, a subtle detail that lends the shoe an added refinement. Crafted on John Lobb’s acclaimed 8000 last, reserved exclusively for Lobb’s Prestige range, the Chapel has a shapely, tapered soft-square toe. With its peerless finishing and sculpted design, it is a shoe that cannot be ignored. Founded in London in 1866, John Lobb has been making some of the world’s finest shoes for almost 150 years. This rich heritage is founded upon a relentless commitment to expert craftsmanship and timeless design. It takes 190 individual steps to make a pair of John Lobb shoes, a process that proves the company’s devotion to excellence.
