This jacket is awesome. From the fit to the materials to the workmanship it is top notch. An instant go to and favorite that will be a staple in my wardrobe.
Yes, I fell or it! Persuasive bunch, or just great marketing? Another great jacket. It has some weight to it, so will great for those cooler days. Moving to Emden on the north German coast, so it will be perfect. AND, after some painful German import tax bills to pay on my first two Frahm jackets brought earlier this year, it arrived tax-free!
For many years, I have wanted a smart jacket that fits like a suit but looks casual. About 20 years ago, I had one made by Paul Smith. I wore it to shreds and reluctantly discarded it. I have not been able to find a replacement until now.
Thank you!
This is my umpteenth FRAHM product. They look great. They last. They feel good. They’re so brilliant, in fact, there’s a risk of taking the quality for granted.
The Waxed Lightweight Worker’s Jacket is a well-timed reminder of why FRAHM is the best in its chosen business. I thought its unwaxed predecessor was excellent. This is a step-up. The fabric feels like it could survive a fall into a blackthorn hedge.
It’s tough. It’s lovely. Buy one.
I love this jacket; I have two. You might consider sizing up if you want a looser fit for summer.
One thing I would change is the zip: I’d make it double-ended so that you can unzip it from the bottom for ease of movement or ventilation while still keeping it closed - for cycling or just sitting down outdoors.
Just received my Lightweight Worker's Jacket Black with Red from and it’s even better than I could’ve imagined. Fits perfectly and goes with everything. 👍
