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:

Wear in 12c to 22c, mild to warm days, wind or a light shower. Fast drying. Ideal for wearing indoors. Or use as a layer under a heavier jacket.

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!

This is a jacket to be worked, in an easy-going way. For that first drink on a long haul flight, a balmy night in the pub garden, or rustling up a creative brief in a King's Cross cafe.

BUILT TOUGH

Soft, light, washable, waxed cotton from Halley Stevensons of Dundee, Scotland. This fabric arrives with crease lines and a classic waxed patina; part of the garment’s character

Thorn resistant, showerproof and cool against the skin

Corozo nut buttons. Triple wound and secured at the rear so they don't come loose

YKK custom hardened stainless steel chest zip

Heavy duty twin needle stitching, as with all FRAHM Jackets, for greater strength and longevity

Contrast colour inner seam bindings for clean, comfortable lines

BEAUTIFUL DETAILS

6 pockets in total:

  • 2 large open cargo pockets
  • 2 hand pockets behind those
  • 1 buttoned chest pocket
  • 1 YKK zipped chest pocket opposite it

Pleated elbow articulation

Tough button adjusted cuffs

Subtle black tonal embroidered brand label on upper right arm

Hanger loop on inside of neck

Casual collar that can be worn turned up if preferred

CARE

Each FRAHM has an embroidered authenticity label sewn into it. The artwork changes each year, to show which unique year you own

All care instructions are in plain English on a herringbone embroidered label, sewn into the jacket

Machine wash on a cool, low spin with non-bio or sensitive detergent; no conditioner; dry flat or hang. If you use conditioner by mistake, just rinse

This dry waxed fabric does not need reproofing

Will dry quickly, iron cool, or don’t bother - we don’t!

Sustainability: The most important way we can help is always making a garment that is built to last, not binned after a season

Fully biodegradable natural exterior and interior fabrics, apart from the metal zip

This jacket is 100% vegan

Sourced entirely from British and European materials. Made in the EU

The Perfect Summer Jacket

This lightweight jacket oozes quality.
It doesn't shout "look at me" like some other makes, it's subtle which is what wins me over every time with Frahm.
I find myself looking at other lightweight summer jackets worn by others and finding flaws in all of them,
I have an alternative colour on order for 2025 and I am pretty sure I will be taking another colour in 2026!
Keep them coming Frahm

The more you wear it, the better it gets

I have two unwaxed versions of the LWJ and now two waxed ones in Tuscan Yellow and Moss Green. Both types are excellent but what I love about the waxed version in particular is how the more you wear it, the better the excellent Halley Stevensons fabric seems to look. I'm not suggesting that you mistreat this jacket but if you ever find that it's fallen on the floor or it's sitting under a pile of other Frahms then don't be alarmed - rest assured that you can just chuck it on and it'll be all the better for its ordeals. Lightweight in fabric but no lightweight in style.

Lightweight Loveliness

These are my summer go to jackets. Lightweight and classically cut. Perfectly placed pockets and high quality accessories make it a joy to wear. People always comment because it looks straightforward, but it's just that much better quality than similar items. Love the choice of colours - which one next??

What a belter

I have a couple of these jackets now. Super classic cut for summer. Nice and light and the colours are really special and unique. Lots of size choices and I have swung between L and Xl depoending on how much I want to layer underneath (and the ebb and flow of my seasonal belly bulges) The fabric is great and it's so easy to manage/care for. Cracking jackets and more colours to come.

Beautiful Colour - Current Fave!

I just received this beautiful green, waxed workers jacket and it is stunning. The colour is just so vibrant. I go this in XL and it gives me a bit more room than my normal Large size so I ca. pack on a few more layers during our Baltic summer! Can take it off at the moment and using it for dog walks, days out, pub visits. Just great. Fit and feel.
