UPGRADED CLASSIC: 1950S HARRINGTON JACKET

A hall of fame men’s jacket style, the casual Harrington Jacket was originally created as a golfing coat in the UK. It became adopted by American film idols like James Dean, Elvis & Steve McQueen, before making a return into UK counter culture as a punk & mod classic.

However, the original design remains rooted in the mid 20th century, with shapeless cotton, fiddly buttons and hand pocket flaps that curl.

We took the simple Harrington concept and made it tougher, with finer detailing, using it’s motorsport associations to make it more streamlined.

The fit is more masculine and flattering, with armoured shoulders, hip adjusters and steel trim.

FLATTERING DRY WAXED FABRIC

Halley Stevensons provide the dry-waxed cotton exterior, which can be machine washed. It is far less prone to snagging, and won't sag, for am angular, more structured shape.

STAINLESS STEEL TRIM

We opt for YKK's highest grade zips, custom laser cut in hardened gunmetal stainless steel.

The Cobrax B:Lock snaps are the best in the world, used by special forces for their absolute reliability.

MOLESKIN & FLANNEL COMFORT

All this toughness is balanced by beautifully soft pure cotton moleskin inside the high funnel-neck collar, scalloped cuffs and hand pockets.

If you choose your Harrington Racer to be lined, we use finely brushed pure cotton flannel in our signature red & blue tartan, plus two additional inner pockets.

CHANGE YOUR MIND?

No problem. No explanation needed. Pre-orders can be cancelled any time. You get 90 days once you've got your FRAHM.

WE DON'T STACK IT HIGH, OR SELL IT CHEAP

Nothing exceptional was ever easy.

Great jackets don't sit on dusty shelves with half price tickets on.

We choose to be slow & expensive, to carefully build an extraordinary reputation for doing what we promised we would.

Our singular concentration on long term reputation, not weekly sales targets, means you get a far better jacket.

WHY PRE-ORDER?

NO DISTRACTIONS

FRAHM is focussed on doing one thing really well - we upgrade classic men's jackets styles. That's it.

We make each design once a year. Each one is spread across the calendar. We're not distracted by the constant pressure to create new fashion ranges every six months.

After we've delivered that year's edition to our customers, we re-launch the next year's edition.

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER?

The short answer is always as soon as you can.

We're booking production space and getting fabric made twelve months before they've even been made.

Options gradually run out as we tick down from 12 months ahead to the arrival date.

If you see gaps in the options of colour/size, etc, that's an alarm bell.

WHY IS EVERYTHING 20% OFF?

That 20% discount doesn't mean we're in a Sale. We don't do them. We don't overbuy! That's your pre-order reward.

You help us, we help you. Fair.

If there's any stock left, or rare returns, they are at full price.

Quality, Worth the wait!

Took the plunge last year and ordered the green Harrington lined. Couldn’t be more happy, the finishing is of the highest quality, great fit and looks amazing on. Just waiting for the autumn now to wear it to death! Customer focus from Nick and his team are unrivalled. If you’ve been wondering whether to take the plunge and order I would say 100% go for it you won’t be disappointed.

Looks Great

Why not I thought, having just pre-ordered a Waterproof Utility Field Jacket. Need something for those dry and chilly days, too. With a T-shirt, Jeans and DMs it, and as I had hoped, looks great. And even on an older man pushing 70.

Quickly becoming my new favourite jacket

My dark blue Harrington came, maybe 10-12 days ago and I have pretty much worn it at every opportunity since, both when it was cold and rainy and now it’s warmed up. It works equally well with a jumper underneath or open with just a t-shirt. I have to say the fit and style are excellent. Love the shaped sleeves and the collar .. and the lining is a very comfortable touch 😊. I am big Frahm fan, I have quite a few different jackets, and this one is definitely my new favourite !

Reminds me of my original...

I think I bought my original Harrington at Jacks of Dunmow in North Essex at the back end of the sixties. It was with me until the mid eighties where it disappeared! Where? I have no idea...
So as I loved the original I thought I would give this a go? It is brilliant, great fit and attention to detail. Very happy to pay a bit over the odds to support a British brand that is interested in providing something that will probably last longer than I will! Very happy with the product. A couple of mates who have seen it reckon they will on board soon! The only comment not really negative from a mate was there is no tab on the collar like the original. I do not think that's an issue as I never used it on the original! Looking to see what else I need going forward...
Keep up the good work!!
