UPGRADED CLASSIC: INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION FRENCH WORKER'S JACKET

Post revolution France saw factory worker’s wearing their new found status with pride. Their work or chore jackets, were built sturdy and simple, for unpretentious practicality.

Modern day chore coats, popularised by creatives like photographer Bill Cunningham, have more artistic connotations now, with open cargo pockets to carry tools / paint brushes.

However, they tend to be heavy, rounded and baggy. We’ve given the design clean lines and finer detailing, whilst retaining it’s highly practical, casual appeal.

LIGHT, DRY-WAXED COTTON

The Waxed Workers has a hardier, more British 'BBQ' vibe than our Original Workers, which uses a softer, less tough Italian fabric.

The light dry-waxed Halley Stephensons fabric is designed to be creased, for a more casual yet smart-enough look, and a bit of shower resistance.

TRIPLE WOUND BUTTONS

Made with corozo nut buttons from Courtneys of Gloucestershire.

They're triple wound onto backing buttons and bonded, so they just won't come off.

hand pockets

We remain aghast that all jackets don't come with hand pockets, as does every FRAHM.

You need a way to rest those massive biceps, or to lean nonchalantly against your neighbour's gazebo, listening to 2 tone , beer in hand...

No problem. No explanation needed. Pre-orders can be cancelled any time. You get 90 days once you've got your FRAHM.

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 DO I KEEP SEEING 20% OFF?

That 20% discount doesn't mean we're in a Sale. We don't do them. We don't overbuy.

That's the pre-order reward on FRAHM Jackets (but not on collaborations).

You help us, we help you. Fair.

If there's any stock left, or rare returns, they are at full price.

Umpteenth Frahm

Lost count now of Frahm jackets and shirts purchased. Usual amazing quality, fit and style

Eye catching, comfortable and really rather loveable!

As with all deliveries from Frahm, I awaited this one with great excitement. The jacket didn’t disappoint one bit. It’s a very eye-catching shade of blue (Electric Cyan) is remarkably lightweight and has that Frahm quality feel in every aspect. I’m a bit of a pocket obsessive and this Worker’s jacket has just about all the pockets you could possibly need.
I am thinking about changing the white buttons for something darker, just to get a bit more contrast with the bright coloured material but that’s just a minor subjective thing.
I couldn’t wish to have a better Summer jacket - just need the Summer to arrive now!

I waited a long time to decide

But was not disappointed at all. Very well made and great for the summer use I intend to put it to. My second Frahm. The only minor issue has been the sizing where I need to order two up from my normal. Once I did that, no problems at all. This should get regular use, unlike some in my collection. Thanks

Another excellent jacket from Frahm

The Lightweight Worker's Jacket is my second purchase from from Frahm and once again I am extremely pleased - great style, great quality, and great fit.

DO NOT BUY THIS JACKET

Because if you do you'll want to buy another one, and you'll want all of the colours and then you'll want the Original version.
Like all Frahms it oozes quality, is superbly put together, is super casual and smart at the same time and just looks fecking great.

Creative….

Well, all I can say is thank you, FRAHM. I wasn’t entirely sure about this jacket after purchasing it, but once it arrived and I tried it on with a pair of dark jeans, I could immediately see why this colour combination works so well.

The buttons have a slightly washed pink tone, which contrasts beautifully with the indigo fabric of the jacket. The fit is absolutely spot on — probably one of the best-fitting FRAHMs I own.
