UPGRADED CLASSIC: WWII USAF B-9 FLIGHT PARKA

Parkas originate from Inuit communities, for survival in extreme conditions.

Adopted by US armed forces in WWII, this style was used by the airforce, flying at high altitude or working in freezing conditions.

We've improved the exterior fabric, removed the fur on the hood (which is cruel and personally drives us crazy getting in our eyes!), upgraded the pocket capacity and the construction.

It's also a damned sight warmer than what was available in WWII! Technology eh...

RIPSTOP: IT STOPS RIPS

Developed for parachutes, when rips can be fatal, ripstop fabric is a mesh of squares that keeps a hole where it is. Handy for base jumping, walking through undergrowth, or feeding hedgehogs.

soft Chambray lining

Linings seem to be an afterthought, but are equally as important to us as the exterior.

Here we use pure brushed cotton Chambray (think ultra light denim) for comfort, warmth and longevity. And more pockets, of course.

SUPERB 'SNORKEL' HOOD

First, its quilted, so you don't need, or indeed want that fur.

Next up, peripheral vision is a huge thing for us - it's great to see where you're going.

Add 3 shock-cord adjusters, a storm peak and high jawline, and you can hide in there. Lovely.

20% Reward for pre-ordering

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

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.

In love with this coat

Quite simply the warmest, most comfortable parka I have ever owned, and the quality and craftsmanship is superb. Love everything about it.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Having received my Thermal Ripstop Field Parka (Black) a couple of weeks ago, I thought i’d wait a bit to give it the review it deserves. Well it truly is Hot! Hot! Hot! So many pockets and way more robust and sturdier than I expected. Fabulous to wear and boy is it warm. As an owner of several other FRAHM jackets, I normally take the temperature guide with a slight pinch of salt (sorry Nick). But this bad boy really is worthy of the term Thermal. As I said earlier Hot! Hot! Hot!

Youve never owned parka until you’ve owned a Thermal Ripstop Field Parka!

What a jacket, it’s an absolute treat to wear, I can’t praise it enough, I’ve bought 4 or 5 £200/£250 parkas that never did it for me, either not warm enough, not enough pockets, showed off my crack everytime I tied my shoe laces, ripped. Then I took the plunge after having a couple of Frahm T-shirts and a work colleague has another jacket. 100% recommendations, I just need it in green now 🧥 🔥

Loving my first Frahm

This jacket oozes quality from the first time you open the packaging. The colour is navy blue which I really like and is better than the pictures on the website. I’m 5 foot 8 and quite compact. Chest 42ins or maybe a touch under. Large is great for me with room for layering if needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this jacket if you’re looking for a good quality, and stylish, winter coat, which will likely last many years to come.

Tremendous!

So my Ripstop Parka, in blue, arrived the day before yesterday, in eco packaging.
I am soooo happy with it! The quality is fantastic. I was a tad concerned when I placed my pre-order the parka would turn out to be too big / baggy and feel really lightweight. Turns out that's definitely not the case :). Whilst it's not heavy, it feels reassuring. Not at all baggy on me either, there's room for a top underneath. Absolute top notch quality. For reference, I bought size Small, and I'm 5 feet 8 / 172cm, with 37/38" chest. Thanks Frahm for jacket number 2. Now to buy a lightweight summer number and make it my 3rd....
