looks good, does what it says it will though in my opinion could do with two more inside pockets, one upper right - zipped preferably, one lower left
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.
The best jacket I’ve ever bought. Simple as that. Pure quality throughout and really smart but casual at the same time.
I am a gentleman who is 'built for comfort' and so, getting nice jackets that actually fit can be a challenge. The team at Frahm were very helpful with measurements and communication and guess what?... it fits perfectly. My new favourite jacket for sure.
quality of the jacket and the feel when its on this is just what i have been looking for riding my vintage scooter and for walks its perfect
The waxed cotton, the fit, the finish, the snaps, the zip, the colour, I can’t stop stroking it. Another knockout coat. BEAUTIFUL
I’ve lived through winter in my Frahm Ventile Thermal as it is an amazing jacket but as we entered February I was getting a bit warm on my dog walks and by chance I get an email from Nick and his team advertising this jacket and some availability. So I went for it and I couldn’t be more pleased that I did. The spearmint green is a great colour but the whole design is perfect for this time of year being lighter but still giving you the protection from the great British weather that this time of year brings. I love this jacket and with the ventile thermal I feel I’m set up perfectly now for 3 of the 4 UK seasons .. thank you Nick and your team for your continued dedication in designing jackets that are so beautifully engineered for all environments and situations..
Very well made and solid jacket, the spring time equivalent of the ventile thermal, only complaint is I was too late to get the tan pocket variant!
Faultless. Great design. Fits so well. So well made and finished. Totally worth the wait.
I’m really pleased with the jacket and it’s top notch quality as usual. I found the fit a lot better on this jacket than my Ventile Jacket which was huge round the waist and snug in the shoulders. Whilst this is still roomy round the waist versus the shoulders it hangs a lot more flatteringly. It’s a really versatile jackets and probably my favourite so far. Thanks!
Coat arrived via courier and was kept well informed of arrival. Coat looks magnificent, excellent quality, and good fit. It’s everything that I was looking for in such coat. It looks good, feels good and by golly it will do me good for many years to come.
So,after seeing FRAHM mentioned in a Tweet I googled,and after being on the mailing list for a while I took the plunge & ordered.
Six hundred quid for a coat … I thought I must be crazy,but I have to say I love it , the cut, the feel,the quality I wore to the pub today for my birthday. It put a big smile on my face to wear it.
It is my birthday present to myself, just haven’t told the Mrs how much it cost …
I have been wearing my new waxed classic Field Jacket for 8 weeks now, and travelled by air, sea and land to the south of Italy and back. The jacket has served well and is superbly well made yet lurking in the compliments are two large HOWEVERS. Firstly I am 6'6" and normaly take an M&S 48 long or 3XL Tall. my field jacket is size 5XL and is only slightly large in chest is short in both body and sleve. Secondly, and more irritatingly, mobility of the arms and shoulders seems to have been sacrificed for the (useful) shoulder vents. If you try riding a bike, reaching for an overhead locker or even doing a field sport it pulls very tight in the armpit. Sorry Nick, although quality workmanship the cut is at best a good town jacket with field pockets that is over sized and has left me underwhelmed.
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
This is a really excellent jacket; I love the attention to detail in its design and manufacture. Luckily I’ve another couple of different Frahm jackets arriving very soon.
Was lucky enough to grab an American Tan Woodland Workers Jacket and it has become my new favourite jacket. Tough and stylish - and lots of pockets. Make sure that you measure yourself correctly so that you order the right size!
This was my first Frahm jacket and understandably, I went over it with a fine-tooth comb to see if the Frahm team could deliver on their promises.
After a thorough inspection and wearing my deck jacket multiple times during this exceedingly wet February in the UK, I can confirm that it is everything that was promised. Materials that exude 'quality', faultless construction and a joy to wear.
The petrol blue colour was darker than it looked on the website, but I actually prefer it in real-life.
A genuinely excellent jacket. It feels like one of those items that will get better with age and will be a companion for years to come. It's harder to find items like that nowadays and I'm glad I took a chance on Frahm.
My third jacket from Frahm and like the rest it’s fine quality with great and well thought out detailing. This jacket has the convenience and warmth of the normal puffa jackets you see but without the fragile shiny finish and uses good quality materials. It also has handy breast and small of the back pockets along with side pockets. Hopefully the breast pocket size was increased in the non sample production version as that is good but could be bigger in my one. The only part of the process that could have been improved was delivery as this didn’t arrive for eleven days (I understand it isn’t as easy sorting through samples to package etc). Great products and a relatable ethos, I may smuggle another one into the house one day.
Another fabulous jacket from FRAHM to add to my collection, this makes it no.7 and won't be my last. Exceptional quality, beautifully designed, fits perfectly and is 100% waterproof! I love this jacket, thank you.
I've been telling people for years about Frahm, daren't think how many I've got but it's way way past 10 jackets now. Apart from Guinness and red wine they're my only vice.....? My new American Tan deck jacket is trying its very best to be my new favourite from that lot and it might just succeed?
Keep up the good work!
