Great piece to the ever growing collection
I know FRAHM designs and sells incredible jackets, the best I own and that is their main focus. However, their workshirts are so beautifully designed and such high quality, I have never found anything that matches their robustness and practicality from other high end brands. The quality of the components and finish is at the same level of the jackets. As a man of a certain age, I carry lots of stuff around, multiple glasses, notebooks, kindle etc and these workshirts have large internal pockets that sit perfectly well when packed. The external “hand warmer” pockets are designed to be almost invisible so it leaves a clean look whether buttoned up or worn open. I already owned three of these workshirts and thought they had stopped selling them. Well, I could not believe my luck, the stretch black denim version, in my size, in the sample sale….and less than half the original price. The shirt arrived in pristine condition and fits perfectly. I don’t know if this was a sample or an item that had been used at a photoshoot but it exceeded expectations. I wear these shirts all year around, every week, and they are aging far better than me! Grateful, to add another to the rotation.
Straight from the cool packaging you experience the tactile; it’s solid feel, the weight. I had to smile, sometimes it’s the little moments that’s can change a day. I can’t stop wearing it, I cherish the rain, splashing in puddles, (my wife was not so impressed..she thinks I’m nuts anyway), testing it water resistance, laughing at how well it fits. Pockets!! Oh the pockets.., the things you can securely stash. Even with a minor breakage, which FRAHM will repair, I just don’t want to send it back. This jacket needs to be worn. So it will be. Believe me they are worth every penny. They have a design authority of their own. Appreciate them, wear them, wear them out or try too.

I bought a tan Foreign Correspondents Jacket at the sample sale held in 2023 near Bath. I have been wearing it on most of the wet and cold days - plus the odd dry day - ever since then. It's great, but I needed to buy another one of a different colour, mainly for a change. I was hoping to get a black one (or a black Odyssey jacket) in the 2026 sample sale, which would be even more biker-like. And, would you believe it, a NOS, identical 2023 Foreign Correspondents Jacket was there. Great price and listed as perfect. I snapped it up at a great price and it was exactly that - as new, the same as my well loved and worn tan jacket and as new. Can't believe I got it to be honest!
Beautiful jacket, lucky enough to grab in the sample same.
Excellent quality and fit, so much top notch detailing.
Bought this jacket in the FRAHM sale of seconds and samples a few weeks ago and must say I’m very impressed again by the quality of the jacket and excellent service from FRAHM. The materials and build are second to none and detailing is superb with lots of practical features and plenty pockets ! Its looks great and I’m sure will last for years. It’s now my third FRAHM, after the rugged Woodland Worker jacket and excellent waterproof Shield jacket (now discontinued) and a Harrington is on the way soon. I did have to cancel an order for a jacket last year and FRAHM refunded me immediately and it was no problem at all, and they are always there to advise and help out if required. So yes it’s becoming a bit of an obsession, but in a good way and quality never really comes that cheap. So take the plunge and buy one now, and as a returning customer you did get little treats along the way which is always nice 😊!
