Great jacket. I like that FRAHM makes jackets that actually fit tall men. I am 203cm/105kg and this jacket in XL Tall fits me really well both in arm and body length. It is warmer than expected and works even at -5 Celsius with a wool sweater underneath. Only nitpick is the price, which I find a little high, but I accept it because of the extended sizing (love tall sizes that actually fits really tall men).
Great fit and quality. All my pals love it just as well.
Heavy twill deck jacket is my second FRAHM .
It’s beautiful feels great and a solid build with great detail.
My first was waxed quilted field jacket which
Is probably my fav jacket ever.
A note on the sizing:
I’m usually a small or medium. After following the FRAHM sizing guide I bought a medium.
This was too big even with layers.
I returned it and had a replacement small sent back within 48hours. Brilliant customer service.
So my next purchase was a small , perfect fit.
I tend to wear my coats and jackets in longer styles, so this is not my usual type. I got this partly to go for a different style (mid-life etc) and partly to have a jacket with enough warmth for early spring and late autumn. This is my fourth Frahm so I’m not surprised, but am still delighted, by the quality of this jacket. The insulated lining perfectly fills out the fit and sort of ‘hugs’ my arms and torso. And the cord lined pockets are a luxurious touch. My wife continues to be concerned about my new and expensive addiction as I keep browsing other jackets every time I get a marketing email from Nick…
Whenever I make a purchase decision, the first question I ask myself is "Am I buying this for life?". That could be a carbon steel handmade chef's knife, a steel bike, a pair of Goodyear welted boots or in this case a FRAHM Heavy Twill Jacket. As soon as I received it, I could feel and see the quality and attention to detail that went into it. I am a short man with with wide shoulders and chest. I ordered the medium expecting the sleeves to be too long for me, which they were.This wasn't a problem as a free sleeve shortening service was included. I couriered the jacket to FRAHM's tailor and two weeks later, I'm a happy owner of a perfectly fitting jacket. Thanks to all at FRAHM and to Izzy and Clive for their helpful advice.
Another quality Frahm product, it's a shame they stopped making these
