CLASSIC UPGRADED: 1952 EVEREST MOUNTAINEERING JACKET

Ventile is the original performance fabric, and remains unique for it’s rich history and natural performance properties.

In WWII, Allied pilots were ditching in the North Sea, only to die of exposure before they could be rescued. Churchill himself demanded life-saving suits be created.

British scientists didn’t have access to synthetics, so they found a way to weave cotton so tightly, water tension itself prevented ingress, making a natural fabric waterproof that is, literally by nature, incredibly breathable.

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Everest for the first time in a Ventile suits. Extraordinary.

INTENSE QUALITY & DETAIL, QUIETLY SPOKEN

This is an investment jacket for men that don't want to shout 'look at my money'. This is quiet, unpretentious luxury, that lasts - embodied by naturally waterproof Ventile cotton, that takes the plastic shine & 'bling' out of an exceptional Winter jacket.
This is a jacket to wear anywhere, from Arrivals at Chicago O'Hare in deep Winter, to a hilltop in Derbyshire.
Everything is the best - from the Cobrax B:Lock snaps, to the huge envelope configuration cargo pockets. Minute details, worn lightly.
If you know quality, you'll have kittens.

SUB-ZERO COTTON CASHMERE QUILTING

We pay as much attention to the lining as the exterior. No flimsy synthetic satin after-thoughts at FRAHM.
Instead, we've lined the Ventile with soft brushed herringbone cotton cashmere, for warmth, comfort, breathability and temperature control.
We refuse to use down, just because it's what most folks expect. Some traditions aren't worth holding onto. Bird down is cruel, it clumps, degrades and isn''t easy to care for. Plus, it makes a very big, round jacket! We want to build sharp lined, masculine jackets.
Instead we use low-volume, highest grade 100% recycled Primaloft Gold, which doesn't change with wear or washing in your machine (convenient).

REMARKABLY DETAILED & REMOVABLE HOOD

Most hoods are pretty simple, often rather geeky and certainly frustrating to use. Crossing the road becomes an exercise in neck twisting. So we built in peripheral vision, whilst increasing coverage via the storm peak.
The hood won't flop around, due to the Ventile fabric and proper quilting.
Next (phew), there are three stainless steel barrel adjusters for shock-cords to exactly adjust your fit.
The jawline front can be adjusted to be close, or further away for those who like more room for beards/scarves/cake.
Lastly, the hood is removable. Rather than use the normal method of packing a weedy little temporary hood into the neck, this hood is unzipped, if you fancy wearing this jacket more smartly. You can even fold the half zip left into it's dock, leaving a flat collar, with no sign of a hood. Every single detail...

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.

Exceptional Jacket

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.

Marvellous

Jacket no 4 and it's excellent! So well made and a really good fit. Certainly warm but I haven't tested how rain-proof it is yet but here's hoping!! Love the large pockets!

Ventile Thermal Field Jacket.

This jacket is like a breathable suit of armour, actually quite unbelievable in how it breathes so well. So far, I haven’t overheated on my walks, this magical jacket just seeming to be at the right temperature all the time. I run cold, so still have to wear a jumper when at a more sedentary pace (i.e. shopping etc), when the outside temperature is only at a few degrees. What I haven’t been able to do yet is wear it in the rain, but I’m sure I’ll get the chance in the next couple of weeks.
I am very happy to be part of the Frahm family and looking forward to many years of use. Congratulations to Nick and the whole team, love your style.

Bomb proof

I had beed eyeing up this jacket for 18 months while purchasing other Frahm stuff.
Finally took the plunge in the Archives sales.
I have to say its the best jacket ever, and i used to be involved in jacket production, so when i say it’s quality it is the dogs .
It is soo well constructed it stands up on its own, really it does.
Feels like i could run through woods, hedges and jungle and it would still look good enough to wear down the pub. Fit, pockets, extra bits feels like it was made with love and care. And will probably see me off the planet, but not before i buy a few more jackets.

The best of the best

Great jacket I would highly recommend buying one . I couldn’t believe how wind proof it was when I wore it for the first time on a very windy and bitterly cold day
