    The Devon wool is long and curly, it's not as dense as the other wool used on the 40 and 42 patterns. It sheds quite a bit too but I'm sure this will discontinue over time, I'm also curious to see how warm it is compared to my other Irvin, B-3 and ANJ-4. -Karen

    Advice needed... Andrew S., Any ideas on how to soften up the leather on the Devon fleece without changing the color of it? And you're right, the zippers not up to muster, everything else is spot on though.:)
