Every year since 1996, John Lobb launches a limited edition of the Saint Crepin model to commemorate the craftsmanship of bootmaking. 

This year marks 75 years since the creation of the iconic William double-buckle shoe and so the two traditions have aligned in the William 75 - a wholecut version of the iconic double-buckle. 

Featuring a seamless back construction, joint by a blind hand-sewn quarter seam stitch and hand tabbing detail to highlight the launch year of this model. Crafted using the finest leathers, an antique hand-wash method developed in the Northampton workshop which brings a unique, painterly character to every pair (of which there are only 750).
