This is my second Frahm jacket, bought after I was hugely impressed by my lined Harrington. As with the Harrington, every time I wear my waxed lightweight workers jacket it lifts my mood and I feel better about myself and the world in general. The colour is bright but not garish. The cut flatters my puny cyclist’s upper body, The fabric has a useful degree of water resistance but remains breathable. The jacket is beautifully made and finished (I particularly relish the bright red binding on internal seams). Very highly recommended (again)
The jacket is nice (damned with feint praise?) but I was disappointed by the colour. I expected a shocking fuschia pink but it’s more like a washed out dismal maroon as worn by someone in a 1970s warehouse.
I bought the dark indigo in size M, and it’s a jacket that’s easy to wear during these months, as the fabric is soft and light while maintaining its shape and structure. It’s also practical, with pockets that make it easy to carry essentials without needing full jeans pockets.
And a veryimportant point is the great customer service
Love the jacket and the support they give to CALM charity.
I have 2 of the light weight jackets, brown and stone. It seems to me they are different materials. The stone one looks quite different, giving creased, and Old worn look, the brown I very different and more clean cut. This might be intentional of course but they are certainly different.
Hi Chris, the two jackets are indeed made of different fabrics. The Cinnamon Brown is our 'Original', made from brushed Italian fabric, which is smarter. The Bath Stone 'Waxed' is made from Scottish waxed cotton and has a much more casual creased jacket.
Enjoy,
Nick.
I chose Moss green color while I wanted jacket for Spring 2026. Color is really nice. Garment seems to be good quality as is the build. However the sizing seems to be suitable for all so it is quite loose on waist. At shoulder leven sizing is ok. For a jacket for this cost, I would assume it would be more tailored/athletic fit.
I really like this jacket, however my one disappointment is that the outside zip pocket isn’t big enough to hold a smart phone. I have three other Frahm jackets which all have a phone pocket albeit that it is internal. Other than this minor difference, which I’ll work around, it’s Frahms usual great quality.
It took me a while to order this jacket but I am so pleased that I did!
Great fit
Great material and feel
Looks ace
I love it
Love the look and feel of this jacket. Always get compliments when I wear it. I’m tall and thin so the medium fits nicely in the chest but the sleeves are a bit short.
Very much impressed with the quality and the fit.
Lovely jacket, bought another one a week later.
It’s become a bit of a habit - my fourth Frahm jacket. The Lightweight Workers jacket arrived just in time for the recent blast of summer, and proved ideal as a practical casual layer.
This jacket is the fifth I’ve purchased within two years, so you must be doing something right! It’s styling, it’s fit, the material & finish, the stitching, It arrived quickly- everything is first class, just like all of my others. Simply the best; better than all the rest. (If only I was as good at writing reviews!)
My only niggle, I’m sorry to say, is that it was rather crushed & creased on arrival, it took some time and a steaming to restore.

This is my fifth Frahm jacket and that speaks volumes in itself. It’s my second Lightweight Workers Jacket and it has some subtle improvements over the one I have from a couple of years ago. As always, the attention to detail and quality are simply outstanding.
The Harrington Racer is my fourth Frahm jacket and just like the others the quality and fit are outstanding.
I bought 2 of the lightweight workers jackets, one in the Dark indigo and one in the waxed Bath Stone.
I’m pleased to say I’m very happy with them both, the fit, style colours and attention to detail are fantastic. I’m very pleased I took the risk to buy before trying. Already considering my next order for a winter coat.
Worth the wait and as new waxed workers jacket arrived during the heat wave took a few days before wearing outdoors.
Very happy with look and love the various pockets.
Will be my go to summer jacket at home and travelling.
