I have many FRAHM jackets, I have a 2021 Ventile Field Jacket. They are all rather outstanding in both fit and quality. I have just purchased this 2024 Ventile Field Jacket and it yet another success. I think the magnet collar closure is genius. All FRAHM jackets should have this. With FRAHM you get what you pay for, this jacket is supreme quality. I can’t fault it in any way. The customer service is also top class, in all - a superb business all round.

This is my third and new favourite Frank jacket.
It’s also the one that makes me realise I’m between sizes. Despite my measurements solidly recommending Large, this is XL and a far better fit than my L Harrington and utility field jackets. The sleeves are longer, so jumpers don’t poke out, and I can comfortably wear layers and still be able to zip it up.
It’s cold in the uk now, and this jacket is perfect. Toasty warm, stylish and a hood that, once adjusted (and I’m still not sure I’ve got it 100%right) keeps your head warm while still being able to see.
Main pockets take a bit of getting used to as there is an extra flap that I guess helps with the waterproofing but stops you sliding things up to drop them in the pocket, but I soon got used to that.
The only downside is that if we have a nice summer I’ll have a few months when I’ll not be able to wear it!

Only 5 stars I hear you say, I agree it’s easily 10 stars. It really is that good, I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now and I absolutely love this coat, it makes me smile every time I put it on, its like getting a great big friendly hug every time.

I rarely leave reviews but i simply have to given how exceptional this coat is. For anyone wondering whether it’s worth the wait and price as I did, I can assure you it is and you really should order yours today.

And then there is Frahm’s company ethos and support for thecalmzone.net simply first class, absolutely superb. For this stance alone and promoting awareness of CALM Frahm has my full support, I can not rate what Nick and the team have achieved highly enough - Thank you and so very much more.

It's a lovely jacket - very solid and well made, with great features and a really well fitting hood. I like the fact that the hood can be removed (and, sshhhhh.... I think it does look cooler without the hood...)
I'm just under 6'2" with a 43" chest and fairly broad shoulders and the XL is a great fit all round. For me the sleeves are just the right length, and there's enough space across the shoulders to wear a t-shirt and a shirt or jumper underneath.
The big pockets work well, I went for a walk with my travel mug of coffee and it fitted in fine, so I didn't need a little rucksack. Very handy.
Being cotton it's warm and windproof without being sweaty like hardshells often are. I probably wouldn't climb a mountain in it unless it was properly freezing, as I'd overheat, but for dog walks, bird surveys and day to day out and about in the west of Scotland, it's ideal.
I haven't been in heavy rain in it yet, but based on my old Ventile jacket I imagine it will be fine. In my experience Ventile soaks up some water, then the fibres expand, which makes it watertight. It also makes it go a bit stiff like cardboard and less breathable (but then all waterproofs are less breathable once they wet out). I now use my old Ventile jacket for outdoor work as the material is absolutely bombproof.
All in all - nice job Frahm. I'm sure this is a jacket that will last me for many years.

Stunning jacket and large fitted me perfectly, I’ve tried outside in cold conditions and it seemed toasty enough,not tried in full rain yet but the rain I had literally beaded off it, can’t wait to grow old together with it 👌

I love a good jacket - much to my wife’s annoyance :-) This is my first Frahm, it’s supposed to keep you warm and it does - it’s cosy and comforting in the cold weather - today I got to wear it in the rain, it was as good as they say, the Ventile fabric giving great protection. Thank you Team Frahm, I love it.
