We sell by pre-order and rarely hold stock. Nothing outstanding was ever built quickly.
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:
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

This is a pre-order. Your jacket will be sent out from 24th May 2024.
A tough, casual, lightweight summer travel jacket with intricate details. Dry waxed and machine washable, it looks even better worn-in.
I wanted to create a tougher, more weather resistant and casual version of our popular Original Lightweight Worker's Jacket.
Chore coats, or French worker's jackets, tend to be plain, heavy cotton, and I wanted to offer something more structured and long lasting, yet light. I also love the fact that this light waxed cotton looks better scrunched up after I whisk it back out of my backpack, once I’m past airport security.
Wear in 14c to 24c, mild to warm days, wind or a light shower. Fast drying. Ideal for wearing indoors. Or use as a layer under a heavier jacket.
The FRAHM Waxed Lightweight Worker’s Jacket is a detailed, wonderfully comfortable and versatile throw-on for warmer days outside and casual work spaces.
This is a more rugged version of our beloved Original Lightweight Worker’s Jacket, built from Scottish washable waxed cotton that looks great creased. In fact, we encourage it!
As with all FRAHM designs, pockets are just right, with two big lower cargo pockets and two capacious hand pockets behind them. Add in a buttoned chest pocket, with a secure zipped chest pocket opposite it.
We’ve paid attention to button security. The thread is triple woven through to a smaller holding button to the rear, with the thread bound around the button at its centre to create an extremely tough and long lasting fixing. These buttons do not fall off.
This is a jacket to be worked, in an easy-going way. For that first drink on a long haul flight, a barmy night in the pub garden, or rustling up a creative brief in a King's Cross cafe.

I have wanted to invest in a Frahm for a number of years and when I finally had the opportunity it didn't disappoint. Having taken the opportunity to get my hands on this waxed lightweight worker I knew I'd like it but I was genuinely blown away (although it's just the wind and light rain trying to blow me away in the photos, bonus dog content!). The fit is extraordinary, the design stunning and the quality surpasses ANY item of clothing I have ever owned before. I really shouldn't have been astonished given all the other great reviews but I am! I also thought I'll road test it for a couple of months before posting a review just in case I find anything I don't like but I just end up liking it more and more. My only problem now is that I can't wear this in all weathers and seasons so it looks like I've got to invest in some more Frahm classics.
I have a few Frahm jackets, usually preferring zipped styles. This is my first lightweight waxed workers in dark navy and first buttoned jacket - don’t know why I’ve held out so long - it’s an absolute winner. smart and light - might have to go for the cobalt blue next year. Cheers Frahm.
When this jacket arrived in the Tuscan Yellow my initial reaction was….wow.
Didn’t see Mr Clarkson when the picture was taken but the jacket graced Diddly Squat Farm
Now I’ve had chance to try it out it is really the dogs ‘you know whats’. What a versatile piece of kit it is and I’ll still utilise it in the cooler months with a gilet under it. Really can’t fault it and it’s in the packing for a trip out to Seattle and Vancouver as I’m sure it’ll be great as a city throw on in the evening.
Simply put……Yes…..I Like It.
