FRAHM Harrington Racer Jacket. Dark Navy/Cream.

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

British Millerain of Rochdale 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.

Best jacket ever

I’d waited nearly a year for my Harrington Racer. I’ve had my eye on one for several years now, but never managed to order in time. Now I have one, and I love it. I actually feel different in it - happy and stylish. Long may it continue. Easily the best jacket I’ve ever owned.

Big hype. Totally justified.
One happy punter.
Even my mother in law likes it… though is that a good thing? 🤔

Beautifully cut jacket

A beautifully cut and constructed jacket with quality fabric and attention to detail. A great addition to any wardrobe.

Harrington Racer

Quality and feel are epic. Sleeves are a tiny bit short but no real issue.
I'd buy again

How good can a Harrington really be?

Given the numerous reviews you begin to wonder if the jacket can really be that good, well I can only confirm it doesn’t disappoint.

Love the colour (green) and the quality is great, the added lining around the sleeves and collar and the material (slightly heavier than I expected) leaves you with a jacket that fully justifies the price tag
