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 degrade.

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

FRAHM Jacket Jacket Thermal Military Parka

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).

FRAHM Jacket Jacket Thermal Military Parka 2024

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 maintaining coverage with an integrated peak. The hood is adjusted by three shock-cords, via stainless steel barrel adjusters.

20% Reward for pre-ordering

Pre-order your FRAHM, get 20% off. Most FRAHM Owners buy this way

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.

Couldn’t resist

I’ve been looking longingly at this jacket for a long time. When it came up at a reduced price it was unavoidable. Now I have it, I wish I’d bought it at full price, it’s a thing of wonder and delight. Without doubt I got an absolute bargain, and also without doubt this is the finest jacket I’ve ever owned. It’s my 3rd Frahm jacket with a 4th on the way, they are fabulous things

Thermal Military Parka Sage Khaki

If Carlsberg made jackets then this would be it but thank god Frahm made this jacket and it is the best in the world.
Hands down the best jacket I’ve ever purchased for quality as well as the looks.
100% happy with the purchase and if you do not already own a piece then put your pre-order in and get one.

Thermal Military Parka Sage Khaki

I had always resisted the urge to get the Parka having already purchased the Ventile Thermal and waterproof. How could I possibly need another FRAHM. But I admit I was wrong, I love the weight, warmth and length of the Parka and luckily its arrival coincided with a cold snap in the South. I was worried about the weight but actually fine on reasonably strenuous dog walks.

Brilliant

When my military thermal parka arrived in the post I could tell by the weight that this coat was going to be something special, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Absolutely brilliant. Beautifully tailored and so toastie.
