Look, I’ll admit it: I’ve got more FRAHM jackets than one man strictly needs. And my office rail is starting to look like Nick's. So naturally, when the Waterproof Utility Field Jacket came out, I was straight in and ordered a Large, just as I always do, but this time in Olive Green.
Now, here’s the twist: the sleeves on the "Large" were a touch short for my liking, and not like my other FRAHM jackets. Not disastrously so, but enough that I wasn't 100% happy and started pondering what might happen in the rain, and here in Pembrokeshire, we don't do vertical rain. This isn’t a fashion statement, it’s meant to do a job.
So, I contacted FRAHM customer services via email and 'spoke' with Leonie from FRAHM, who helped me painlessly swap for a “Large Tall”, and I must say, I’m far more comfortable knowing my wrists aren’t exposed to the elements. So, one happy FRAHM customer ... again.
The jacket itself? Built like a tank, elegant and reassuringly over-engineered, very much in line with FRAHM’s usual standards: stitching, hardware, finish, all spot-on.
Can’t wait to give it a proper Welsh weather trial — only problem is, we’ve had a suspiciously dry spell. Typical.
So yes, another FRAHM in the wardrobe. I probably need help. But I’ll look fantastic while seeking it.
