FRAHM Jacket Jacket Thermal Military Parka 2024

UPGRADED CLASSIC: 1950s USAF N-3B 'SNORKEL' PARKA

The first parkas were developed by Caribou Inuits, to hunt and survive in freezing Canadian winters. The US Airforce then developed the parka for crews in extreme cold.

The original N-3B had a nylon outer, wool insulation and mouton lining - treated sheepskin, topped off with a fur hood lining. Whilst incredibly warm, they were very heavy and impractical for a wide range of use.

Into the modern era, parkas are mostly a sandwich of synthetic fabrics with down insulation. In our opinion, these choices aren't logical. The exterior fabrics tend to be fragile and cheap. The synthetic lining an afterthought. The down insulation and fur are cruel, hard to care for and degrades quickly.

Instead we've rethought the construction for a far tougher, quietly luxurious and practical jacket. It is beloved by our customers and unique amongst all jackets, worldwide.

BUILT LIKE A TANK

An antidote to expensive yet fragile shiny plastic parkas that spill their guts at the sight of a rusty nail. Heavy twill dry-waxed (washable) cotton from British Millerain of Rochdale, Here seen with Italian Cobrax B:Lock snaps, used by special forces worldwide, for their precision and bombproof reliability.

STAINLESS STEEL FIREMAN'S CLASPS

Created in the 1960s as an ultra reliable closure that can be used at speed by firefighters with gloved hands, these clasps state the credentials of this style. Nothing is getting through (except maybe a black bear attack, but we don't talk about that).

UNIQUELY DETAILED HOOD

Hoods should be the central point of parka design, not something to tick off. We dispensed with the fur - cruel and annoying, and upgraded the quilting with a pure flannel lining. You can't see anything that isn't right in front of you with a 'snorkel'. We created complete peripheral vision, so you don't have to pull the hood away to see left or right, whilst increasing protection with an integrated peak. The hood is adjusted by three shock-cords, via stainless steel barrel adjusters.

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 DO I KEEP SEEING 20% OFF?

That 20% discount doesn't mean we're in a Sale. We don't do them. We don't overbuy.

That's the pre-order reward on FRAHM Jackets (but not on collaborations).

You help us, we help you. Fair.

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