How to Make an Englishman
Constructing an Englishman in 5 Easy Steps
Take a bowler hat from Lock and Co Hatters.
Select shoes from John Lobb (Ltd).
Add an umbrella from Swaine Adeney Brigg.
Pick up a red carnation from Fortnum and Mason.
Finally, choose a pipe from Dunhill.
And that's it. There's really nothing more to it.
John Lobb, LTD and John Lobb Bootmaker are not the same. The link above is for the Paris owned company John Lobb, LTD, but the picture above with the storefront Lobb in St. James is John Lobb Bootmaker. Their website is http://www.johnlobbltd.co.uk/. The latter is holder of two royal warrants, and only makes bespoke shoes and boots.
