Size & Fit Guide
Our customers rave about our fit, check out the reviews.

FRAHM jackets are cut for real men's bodies and action. We've subtly altered classic tailoring for more movement, for real life. Our jackets do not have a restrictive teenage 'fashion' cut. 

Size Chart: 

 

 

HOW TO FIT YOURSELF

Size by your actual body measurements, not copying your size in another brand. Fit can vary wildly between brands and their size may not be ours.

HEIGHT: This is the easy one – measure yourself from the top of your head to your heel. (Sometimes easier to do against a wall we find.)

CHEST: To find out your chest size, take a tape measure and wrap it under your armpits at the fullest part of your chest.

ARM: Measure from the shoulder seam to the bony bit on your wrist (yes, that is the biological term).

 

 

If you can't measure your chest circumference, the best guide to size is your best fitting existing jacket or suit jacket. Then Live Chat us and we can advise what your size is.

"Tall" sizes are for very tall men, offering exactly the same jacket with significantly longer arms and torso. Don't buy one if you're above average - our standard sizes will fit.

If you have shorter arms, we will happily have your sleeves shortened from a minimum of 3cm for you when possible (most of the time it is). Typically alterations take 3 - 4 weeks.  

If you have any questions please do Live Chat or email us on hello@frahmjacket.com

 

Colour:

Parkas are incredible for harsh winter conditions, but the big brands seem intent on making either shiny synthetic or baggy fashion versions. I wanted to make a world-beater. A less flimsy, more grown up, more detailed parka built with longevity and quality in mind. 

The design is testament to classic Arctic exploration kits and Scandinavian military designs, with increased performance. My initial design notes say "tough as nails". It is.

Not impressive

Sorry but I was super disappointed with my parka
I bought it in November 22.
It soaks up rain like a sponge, meaning I can’t wear it in anything other than a light shower, it is nowhere near as warm as you claim it is, god knows what it is filled with but it feels like paper from a shredding machine. Also, the outside pockets are really in the wrong place to keep one’s hands warm comfortably.
Add to this that it is very expensive, for what it is, makes for a very poor show.
Last winter I ditched this one and bought a down filled semi-waterproof coat from Ralph Lauren and was warmer, drier and, therefore, happier

Robust and substantial

Another great Frahm jacket that I’m looking forward to testing in cold winter weather. This is a big coat and feels it- it’s got lots of room for layers but can be slimmed down with the shock cords to feel snug. Some say it’s stiff and heavy but I think it just feels like it’s made of much much sturdier materials than your average parka. Make no mistake though it’s definitely not a light weight slimline fitted jacket- but nor did I want or expect it to be. There is some technique to easy opening of the fireman’s clasps but I’m now reasonably confident I’ll be able to align them for a quick release, even wearing gloves, rather than having to get my thumb in to release. As usual loads of huge pockets and great build quality. The dry waxed fabric is noticeably thicker and slightly courser than on my Harrington and utility field jacket.

A top quality understated jacket

Took delivery of this jacket last year and can't wait to get it out the cupboard again next month when the weather turns in. Jacket is reassuringly heavy, warm and very hardwearing. You can walk the dog through whatever is in your way without worry that the jacket will get torn by brambles or anything else that will rip up most jackets. Worth the money, you won't need to buy another one. The fit is excellent as well, if you get an ill fitting jacket that's squarely down to you need giving the correct measurement.

Heavy duty coat

Wow - Heavyweight Monster

I managed to get the Camo dazzel version of this and I could not be happier. Unique, superb quallity, toasty warm and cut for a real bloke's shape. Utterly superb heavyweight beast which is ideal for winter months. There's space to layer under a large, but you feel nicely wrapped and snug. Clasps and pockets are all first class and add to the quality feel. Cant afford another one yet or I would!
