    The Few

    I have two jackets by The Few, a B-2 and an M445. Both are superb and probably about the best in terms of materials and construction. Leathers are typically vegetable tanned and hand finished. The Few are the speciality branch of Real McCoy's and are primarily aimed at the Japanese market.

    It does have some shine though Andrew. The point about my question is that things change over time whether exposed to light or not. You liked my jacket originally why the sudden change of heart ?

    Of course it's subjective . The problem is have you ever seen a jacket fresh from the factory in 1941 ?

    Hi Andrew, It has more shine in the wool which also has a slightly better colour. The outer also has more shine. As it's never been worn it's brand new so it's like a new conker.

    ELC RAF Merino mint

    I bought this jacket late last year from a American man who had got it from his father as a birthday present. He never wore it for the 20 years he had it. This jacket is a very early one made from the amazing Merino sheepskin that it just the best you can get. It's the material used by The Few...

    Bought this today The arms on this one are truly massive, the outer is soft and the wool curly and shiny. I know it's slightly big on me but that's the way I like my jackets. They just don't make 'em like this any more.

    It was altered from a parallel and so is a slight compromise.
