Thanks so much gents, this means a lot:
We score 99% or 4.9/5Great fit.... No baggy like an old waterproof or tight like a modern one.... Looking forward to trying it on my next trip to the Isle of Man where you seem to get 4 seasons in one day
Dobie Gray sang "the original's still the greatest", well I have one of the originals (Baracuta) and ordered the Frahm Harrington as I liked the subtle difference in design.
What a jacket! A much nicer shape (slightly less bellowed), great shaped cuffs, perfect lining and a quality material. Sadly for the original (Baracuta) this is now my go to Harrington.
When you wear this jacket, you realise your other jackets don’t fit properly. And their detailing is wrong.
It is just great. And on reflection; an absolute bargain.
I recently received my pre ordered Harrington jacket. It's well fitting and made to a high standard with quality products. The cuffs are different as noted by other reviewers but I like them.
I'm very happy with the product and I have now ordered another style of jacket as well
A quality jacket in a robust showerproof material. Looks great and fits well.
Had the petrol blue for a couple of years, it’s great.
Bought another in Green - it’s greaterer!
Worn today first time, it’s very red!, feels good against bare skin, wind proof and seems breathable so far. Looking forward to testing it further. Offa’s Dyke walk, first 90 miles, in 2 weeks.
Finally bought the Harrington (lined) in the tan colour. Beautiful looking jacket and perfect fit in 2xl. As usual with Frahm really well made and plenty of pockets (2 extra thanks to the lined version). Love it
I would give my existing FRAHM Harrington in red a 5, but the lining and the subtle tweaks in the last couple of years mean this one is even better. Where do you go from 5? Hence the title 🙂
I opened my first Frahm with trepidation, NIck had promised so much and it had been necessary for me to patiently wait for it having pre-ordered it in October last year, which is not my greatest strength . Should I have worried? Absolutely not? Frahm delivered a highly functional and stylish Harrington jacket that not only looks great, it fits well and has a unashamed quality feel about. Did I mention the lining? it looks the dogs wotsits and has been tested by our recent unseasonal low temperatures.
We've been to 2 gigs already definitely got some admiring glances (the jacket not me) so I think we are going be very happy together
I am awaiting my workers jacket with less anxiety just like a second child (well the gestation is nearly as long) but I am sure I will love it just as much as the Harrington
Keep up the good work guys
Exactly what you expect from Frahm - incredibly well made, great detail and the colour is superb - my only issue is it has to compete with my Woodland Workers Jacket (again tan) that is now ubiquitous all occasions
Very pleased with the jacket as always. This iteration has added details from an earlier year’s version such as the adjustment on the waist. The addition of the lining makes it suitable for a lower temperature range but it retains the same great fit. Navy blue looks great but note it is relatively light for ‘navy’.
I cannot deny being very nervous about spending a lot of money on a pre-order jacket without feeling the material or experiencing the size. But I took a leap of faith based on the number of great reviews. I needn't have worried. The Harrington Racer arrived earlier that expected and was every bit as well made as reviews (and Nick) promised. The fit is great, and nearly the first time the sleeves of any jacket actual reach the right point on the wrist! The jacket even passed the 12 years old fashionista daughter test - "Cool Jacket Dad!". Only gripe? The Original Utility Jacket doesn't come in Tan (bracken brown's a bit too dark for me!), so I guess I'll have to go for blue! Would definitely buy again and recommend to others!
I've had the original Harrington for around a year now, but so tempted to get this one as well! As soon as the sun comes out, my Harrington will be my goto until October or so. More wind/water repellent than you'd think, but not for cold weather. No need to discuss fit and how the jacket is constructed. Always spot-on.
I always refuse to do reviews until I have had an item for a month or so, yet here I am reviewing this after an hour. This jacket is everything I hoped it would be. The usual perfect Frahm fitting, the length is just right and all of the great features, scalloped cuffs, hand warmer pockets and a great zip. I bought the navy and yellow combo - the navy is stunning and the yellow makes it stand out from my navy coat collection. What i love most about this jacket is the material, the comfiest waterproof material ever, still lightweight but has substance. I have the Racer Harrington, the puffa and the cord overshirt - all are good but this is straight in at number one.
WHY WAIT?
Buying a FRAHM is special.
We sell by pre-order, making the same styles once a year, every year, with the odd tweak or new fabric colour.
It's how we've gradually built and protected our incredible reputation.
Other brands have to guess what stock to buy. They always end up with excess, which they shift in Black Friday or end of season sales.
Those sales seem great on the surface, but force brands to erode quality to make money. In the end, you pay with a lesser jacket.
We don't do lesser.
We sell out of our pre-order slots every year. Months ahead of each jacket arriving.
With this predictability, we can make far more beautifully detailed, better fitting, tougher jackets.
As a reward for your patience, we give you a 20% pre-order discount. If there's any returns, they're full price.
When should you buy? As soon as you can. Hence the fetching yellow alarm clock.
