RMCNZ/the Few would have had a small tag that says so and another tag that says “made in New Zealand.” That doesn’t look like any of the RMCNZ/the Few I’ve seen.
Here’s a different jacket by 1% leather, you can translate to get more info:

When in doubt, it’s usually a no. But we are all enablers here. You can just sleep on it, and if you still want it the morning after, get it. The worst that can happen is spending some effort to sell it.

Carmina, a Spain-made company, can be found in many places in the US and should be easily...

Allen Edmonds, Alden (shoemaker for Brooks Brothers), Crockett Jones (shoemaker for Ralph Lauren), Edward Green, John Lobb. The first two are American makers.
Best money can buy is John Lobb bespoke. It’s like walking on cloud even though it’s leather, very very comfortable. About $7,000 new...
