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).

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.

Such a practical winter jacket

I’ve owned this jacket for a number of years. For transparency I own the older version without the hood. It’s great. Warm enough for the majority of the British winter and you can add a jumper or not for extra warmth. The fit is relaxed but not baggy and it’s so robust. Looks smart for wearing to the office but great for the pub. As an aside I’ve had a couple of issues with buttons but frahm support have fixed it without complaint promptly. Service like this sets Frahm aside from other companies. Great jacket, great company

Send It Back!

Or so I thought. I ordered this Ventile Jacket feeling doubtful that when it landed I could justify the price. But once I tried it on, felt the quality of that Ventile fabric, the zips, the studs, the magnetic closures used and I just could not return the jacket.
It's that very rare and fine thing when you find something where the quality stands out but it does not shout about it.
From a performance perspective, it's not going to be as waterproof as a 20,000mm rated jacket, but this is a natural fabric that is naturally waterproof and that has to be admired. I have found that on a brisk walk when I wear a synthetic jacket I find myself unzipping them to cool down where as with this Ventile jacked it stays zipped up as you do not overheat, it breaths.
If you are even considering buying this jacket and you are sat on the fence.... jump off and buy one.

The ultimate everyday outdoor coat

I love Ventile. None of the synthetic rubbish bag-like texture here. Not shiny. Always gets compliments.

worth the wait

I had been eyeballing this jacket for a couple of years waiting for the right moment to buy. Finally made my purchase and (as usual) I wasn't disappointed (I own 4 Frahm jackets). This is the perfect winter coat for me and the climes I typically experience and the fit and finish are great!
