I'm not new to Frahm. I bought a merino jacket a while back which I love, but Frahm jackets aren't impulse buys and I have plenty of jackets. . .
But I do REALLY like the merino and the deck coat just looked good, so I decided to treat myself. And I'm so glad I did. Its immediately supplanted the Barbour jacket I was using for cooler weather and I vastly prefer the dry wax, which has kept out a few showers already.
At the back of my mind I worried that buying a second Frahm might open the floodgates as I like the look of a couple of other styles. That fear was justified, this is not going to be my last.
They are not cheap, but for someone who doesn't buy clothes that often but wants them to last, wear well, and be practical I find they are in the sweet spot where I feel I am paying for the quality and attention to detail and whilst they are not the economy pick I will be very happy with both jackets long after what I've forgotten what I paid for them.
