Original Utility Field Jacket

Nick's Design Notes: This is my first FRAHM design. I wanted to launch with the most versatile jacket possible - that jacket you always grab off the rack. I wanted to create a tough yet stylish and versatile jacket for everything from dashing between meetings in rain showers through to dog trekking from a hilltop pub. I'm very proud of it.

We’ve innovated a British military classic, the waxed field jacket. It’s subtly modernised to make it comfortable for active movement, washable, odourless, breathable, with loads of storage, for versatility and minimal fuss.

There is a LOT of detail here, from the carefully thought-through reinforced pockets, right down to the intricate herringbone care label.

Constructed from machine washable waxed fabric, it will gradually develop a worn look, as with all waxed jackets, but without any reduction in performance or the oily inconvenience of old school waxed fabrics.

The fit is ‘tailored athletic’. Not unrealistically tight, not loose, just right. The vented shoulders have extra space built in and the arms are longer, for real-world movement.

Weather range are 2c (room for a thick jumper) to 18c, in high winds or rain showers.

Technical Notes:

• British Millerain machine washable waxed cotton fabric is surprisingly lightweight, as it isn't laden with sticky wax like old style waxed jackets
• Breathable, shower and rain proof, but not fully waterproof
• High, jawline stiffened collar with microfleece lining
• Cut for activity, with extra room in shoulders
• Articulation pleats  in shoulders and elbows
• Twin rear shoulder vents
• Internal YKK zipped chest pocket and internal book pocket
• 4 front pockets, secured by indestructible stainless steel snaps from Italy
• Fleece lined hand pockets behind front cargo pockets
• Scalloped, reinforced cuffs
• Twin needle stitching throughout
• Herringbone grey pure cotton lining is fast drying & odour resistant
• Embroidered care info is sewn inside, no flappy care labels
• Machine washable, does not need reproofing

£10 from each jacket sold will be donated to Mind mental health charity.
