The Delano II is John Lobb’s buckle loafer with a quieter attitude than its form might suggest. Cut in Parisian brown suede, it has that richness in hue you only get when the suede is thick in fibre. A rose gold buckle breaks the silhouette just enough; more accent than statement, almost like jewellery you notice only when the light catches it.
Underneath, a Goodyear welt and single leather sole keep things grounded: structured and dependable, built for years rather than seasons. It’s the kind of shoe that doesn’t try to impress you at first glance but tends to stay in rotation long after the louder pairs get put away.

Sizing notes: Balanced and comfortable fit
Width: E-width
- Use Shoe Trees: Insert well-fitting shoe trees to maintain shape and extend lifespan, especially if shoes get wet. Premium suede can handle rain.
- Brush Regularly: Use a high-quality suede brush (preferably natural rubber, like Turms) to remove dirt. Use a welt brush to remove dust and dirt trapped in the crevices.
- Handle Stains Professionally: For stubborn stains (e.g., oil), consult a cobbler to treat with suede shampoo.
- Avoid Overusing Protective Sprays: Choose a natural protector; limit silicone sprays as they block leather pores and reduce breathability.
