UPDATED CLASSIC: 1940s BRITISH WAXED BELTED JACKET

Inspired by WWII paratrooper's field jackets, this post-war waxed belted style was then to be a long, tough, multi-pocketed coat to protect motorbike trials riders from branches, falls and the weather.

We've used it as inspiration to create a tough, classic travel jacket.

Today’s waxed belted jackets have dropped in quality. The design has barely moved on, using sticky old-style waxed cotton, which is heavy, unpleasant and needs re-proofing.

We've developed it into a more comfortable, higher specification jacket, subtly using modern developments for a versatile travel jacket across a range of environments.

BUILT TOUGHER

From the British Millerain dry-waxed cotton you can drag through brambles (then machine wash), to the world's best AustriAlpin Cobra belt buckle, this is a jacket built for a lifetime of work.

MORE BEAUTIFUL DETAILING

We've dispensed with the usual soft, shiny brass snaps, utilising gunmetal Cobrax B:lock snaps, used by special forces worldwide.

There are subtle design tweaks everywhere, from the cotton cashmere lining to the scalloped cuffs for greater coverage over the knuckles.

Hell, we've even put burst-snaps at the hem, so if you sit down too fast, the long jacket will open, not leave you stuck.

BUSINESS TRAVEL POCKETS

When Nick flies, he wears this. The huge cargo pockets can accept water bottles (plural), noise cancelling headphones, passport, snacks, book, and more.

He can walk straight into a meeting, with all that stuff, and still look smart, yet still get coffee in a dodgy part of town, and fit in.

Add in some trans-Himalayan trekking, and it's quite the jacket.

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.

Yet to be disappointed

This was my 4th purchase from Frahm, and I am still blown away by the quality every time the delivery arrives.

The coat fits very nicely, the pockets are large and plentiful, it just oozes quality, I think it might overtake my Utility jacket as my favourite Frahm purchase.

Great First Impressions

Took my recently purchased Foreign Correspondent’s Jacket for a test drive from Glasgow to Cardiff via Bristol Airport. Great jacket, lots of storage, very happy.

So close!

This is a great jacket, worthy of a 5star rating. Looks great, with top quality materials and can fit many situations. I am a Frahm fan (this is my 6th jacket along with multiple shirts) and this one does nothing to change that. In the interest of balance, I would say it could benefit from a couple of additional belt loops further towards the front of the jacket as the belt buckle is very heavy and tends to swing quite a lot when not fastened (I now just tuck them in the hand pockets) plus be good if the hand pockets were lined with moleskin on both sides as they are in the parka and OUFJ. But these are more suggestions for incremental improvements than a criticism of what is an absolutely top notch jacket. There’s no getting away from the cost, which is high, but I expect to be wearing all my Frahms for many many years and think you are getting value for money in anything bought from this company.

Stratospheric Jacket

I made a last minutes purchase on this my 3rd Frahm it delivers beyond the expectations of anything else I’ve worn , Frahm do their research and manufacturing with standards beyond other retailers , please dont take my advice you either buy or don’t and if you don’t you won’t know the Frahm owners and wearer’s experience

Does it all

Like many canny Scots, I like to have a feel, a sniff, a rub before I allow a hard won pund to be prised from my clenched fist, so it was with no little trepidation I trusted the promises of Mr Frahm himself, that an instant refund would wing my way if I wisnae happy.

It arrived, I tried it on, I admired the way it cunningly hid the stubborn two pounds of excess round my waist, I stretched and twirled and tied the bel and untied the belt and investigated every one of the 127 pockets, I shrugged it off then shrugged it back on. I wondered if it would look better in Tan, but I like the Blue.
I decided to venture into the night, I became invisible, I played with the zips, I tried to remember which of the 127 pockets I had put my phone in, and then where I had hidden my keys, I wondered why I hadn’t taken a gallon of water, a bag of Haribo, three packet of peanuts, a volume of War and Peace, and a thing for getting stones out of horses hooves, like in Nick’s video, I realised I hadn’t taken my Passport so I went back home.
I have worn it everyday since, literally every day, rain, shine with a t shirt with a jumper, with a big chunky sweater, it just fits perfectly into every situation.
I have one minute niggle, the magnetic one handed closing devices are useless, perhaps the magnets are not strong enough but they don’t click.
Maybe my neck is too thick?
Am I pleased, yes. Am I delighted yes,yes, Am I ecstatic, Yes Yes YESSSSS.
Is it value for money, very personal question but the 20% helped. Will i buy another, probably, like the look of the puffer.
So a happy chappy, good company, great ethic, great service whats not to like and knowing each purchase aids mental health ,spot on.
Carry on, chaps and chapesses, The men of this world need more Frahm!
