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

Brushed black real horn buttons from Italy are 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...

20% Reward for pre-ordering

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.

The Perfect Summer Jacket

This lightweight jacket oozes quality.
It doesn't shout "look at me" like some other makes, it's subtle which is what wins me over every time with Frahm.
I find myself looking at other lightweight summer jackets worn by others and finding flaws in all of them,
I have an alternative colour on order for 2025 and I am pretty sure I will be taking another colour in 2026!
Keep them coming Frahm

The more you wear it, the better it gets

I have two unwaxed versions of the LWJ and now two waxed ones in Tuscan Yellow and Moss Green. Both types are excellent but what I love about the waxed version in particular is how the more you wear it, the better the excellent Halley Stevensons fabric seems to look. I'm not suggesting that you mistreat this jacket but if you ever find that it's fallen on the floor or it's sitting under a pile of other Frahms then don't be alarmed - rest assured that you can just chuck it on and it'll be all the better for its ordeals. Lightweight in fabric but no lightweight in style.

Lightweight Loveliness

These are my summer go to jackets. Lightweight and classically cut. Perfectly placed pockets and high quality accessories make it a joy to wear. People always comment because it looks straightforward, but it's just that much better quality than similar items. Love the choice of colours - which one next??

What a belter

I have a couple of these jackets now. Super classic cut for summer. Nice and light and the colours are really special and unique. Lots of size choices and I have swung between L and Xl depoending on how much I want to layer underneath (and the ebb and flow of my seasonal belly bulges) The fabric is great and it's so easy to manage/care for. Cracking jackets and more colours to come.

Beautiful Colour - Current Fave!

I just received this beautiful green, waxed workers jacket and it is stunning. The colour is just so vibrant. I go this in XL and it gives me a bit more room than my normal Large size so I ca. pack on a few more layers during our Baltic summer! Can take it off at the moment and using it for dog walks, days out, pub visits. Just great. Fit and feel.

Great summer jacket

My second waxed workman’s to go with my dark navy. I’m not usually a yellow kind of guy but I love this Tuscan yellow which is deeper, richer and darker - great colour for the summer. Cheers again Frahm.
