CARE

CLASSIC UPGRADED: MID 20TH CENTURY MOUNTAINEERING SHELL

Post-war explorers and climbers had to combat life or death weather, yet usually did so in very breathable but only water resistant wool or cotton.

The 1970s saw the advent of laminate synthetic waterproofs, that combined breathability with life saving water resistance at often extreme wind speeds.

The technology has continued to improve, unlike the geeky styling or minimal practicality.

We’ve built a waterproof shell you can wear with rare style. There’s similarly unique cargo pockets and a hood with unparalleled detail.

eVent matte fabric

Rated 20,000 waterproof, 22,000 breathability, eVent have created a fabric that is light yet structured.

It's also soft and matte textured, so it doesn't look or feel like a bin bag.

Hidden vents provide further comfort.

6 proper Pockets

Most waterproofs have a small chest pocket and two zipped hand pockets that scratch.

We've added two huge magnet-clusure cargo pockets, with fine zip-closure hand pockets behind them, for greater comfort.

Then there's two massive cargo chest pockets behind YKK Aquaguard zips.

EXCEPTIONAL HOOD

Why are hoods so overlooked? They'll drive you crazy, or get you killed.

The soft, fully enclosing FRAHM hood design utilises high peripheral vision, so you can actually see. There's a built-in storm peak and 3 rubberised shock cord adjusters, for maximal comfort.

11 sizes, for all men

We tailor for men from 5'4" to 6'10" tall.

With chest sizes from 36" to 56".

That means eleven sizes & free sleeve alterations, unique in jacket brands.

Importantly, we take time to tailor exceptional fabrics that drape flatteringly, not suck around the bits you didn't want to accentuate.

We make you look manly, in a "I want to feel good, but not look like I'm trying too hard" way.

If you're not sure of your size, we can check your exact size easily. Everyone here has been helping men with sizing for years.

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.

Excellent waterproof

This is my 3rd jacket and the first in lightweight material. It is excellent- the pockets slightly larger for a paperback book. Great finishing .
