UPGRADED CLASSIC: INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION FRENCH WORKER'S JACKET

Post revolution France saw factory worker’s wearing their new found status with pride. Their work or chore jackets, were built sturdy and simple, for unpretentious practicality.

Modern day chore coats, popularised by creatives like photographer Bill Cunningham, have more artistic connotations now, with open cargo pockets to carry tools / paint brushes.

However, they tend to be heavy, rounded and baggy. We’ve given the design clean lines and finer detailing, whilst retaining it’s highly practical, casual appeal.

BRUSHED ITALIAN FABRIC

The Original (so named because we first launched it in 2019, before the waxed version) utilises Italian fabric with an sleek, soft finish.

Extremely breathable and hard to crease, it's ideal for Italian piazzas in Summer.

TRIPLE WOUND BUTTONS

Choose from either brightly coloured corozo nut buttons from Courtneys of Gloucestershire, or brushed black real horn buttons from Italy.

They're triple wound onto backing buttons and bonded, so they just won't come off.

hand pockets

We remain aghast that all jackets don't come with hand pockets, as does every FRAHM.

You need a way to rest those massive biceps, or to lean nonchalantly in Spanish tapas bars, ordering Fino & almonds. Again.

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.

PRE-ORDERS ENABLE THE BEST JACKETS

If you know exactly what you're making, all your effort goes into the product, not trying to find ways to sell the excess.

Brands overbuy, then clear their stock in massive sales. Great! Except...

You're buying a cheap jacket, marked expensive so they can discount it and make the same money.

We deliberately don't make enough to meet demand. Every year we run out. Every year we don't run down quality.

Long term reputation, not short term sales targets.

PRE-ORDERS IN DETAIL

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We only make men's jackets. Each classic style is released once a year, at the same time every year.

A year later all the jackets ordered arrive, and we get them out to you with unique certificates of authenticity for that year's edition.

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER?

The short answer is always as soon as you can.

Options run out as we get closer to the arrival date.

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

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

WHY IS EVERYTHING 20% OFF?

We give you 20% off for pre-ordering. If there's any stock left, or rare returns, they are at full price.

If you're going to pay us in advance and wait, there should be a reward for that. You help us, we help you.

The Perfect Summer Jacket

This lightweight jacket oozes quality.
It doesn't shout "look at me" like some other makes, it's subtle which is what wins me over every time with Frahm.
I find myself looking at other lightweight summer jackets worn by others and finding flaws in all of them,
I have an alternative colour on order for 2025 and I am pretty sure I will be taking another colour in 2026!
Keep them coming Frahm

The more you wear it, the better it gets

I have two unwaxed versions of the LWJ and now two waxed ones in Tuscan Yellow and Moss Green. Both types are excellent but what I love about the waxed version in particular is how the more you wear it, the better the excellent Halley Stevensons fabric seems to look. I'm not suggesting that you mistreat this jacket but if you ever find that it's fallen on the floor or it's sitting under a pile of other Frahms then don't be alarmed - rest assured that you can just chuck it on and it'll be all the better for its ordeals. Lightweight in fabric but no lightweight in style.

Lightweight Loveliness

These are my summer go to jackets. Lightweight and classically cut. Perfectly placed pockets and high quality accessories make it a joy to wear. People always comment because it looks straightforward, but it's just that much better quality than similar items. Love the choice of colours - which one next??

What a belter

I have a couple of these jackets now. Super classic cut for summer. Nice and light and the colours are really special and unique. Lots of size choices and I have swung between L and Xl depoending on how much I want to layer underneath (and the ebb and flow of my seasonal belly bulges) The fabric is great and it's so easy to manage/care for. Cracking jackets and more colours to come.

Beautiful Colour - Current Fave!

I just received this beautiful green, waxed workers jacket and it is stunning. The colour is just so vibrant. I go this in XL and it gives me a bit more room than my normal Large size so I ca. pack on a few more layers during our Baltic summer! Can take it off at the moment and using it for dog walks, days out, pub visits. Just great. Fit and feel.

Great summer jacket

My second waxed workman’s to go with my dark navy. I’m not usually a yellow kind of guy but I love this Tuscan yellow which is deeper, richer and darker - great colour for the summer. Cheers again Frahm.
