The outer fabric is a heavy weight washable waxed fabric from British Millerain in Rochdale, Lancashire, of course. No need to reproof even after years of machine washes. We've never needed to iron one either!

The lining is a gorgeous brushed, soft, red and navy blue check cotton, our FRAHM 'house' tartan. We’ve added world's best Italian Cobrax B:Lock stainless steel snap closures to the front cargo pockets with our super tough brushed horn buttons, triple wound and bonded for security.

There are pockets galore, with two main lower cargo pockets, with hand pockets behind (it drives us nuts not to have anywhere to put hands). Add in one buttoned chest pocket, with a YKK hardened stainless steel zipped chest pocket opposite it. Then inside we have a two inside pockets - one for a paperback book and another for your pen knife and mints.

As with it’s 5 star reviewed brother, the Original Lightweight Worker's Jacket, we have paid particular attention to the buttons. These are real horn, brushed for a wonderful hand feel. The thread is triple woven through to a smaller holding button to the rear, with the thread then bound around the button at it’s centre to create an extremely tough and long lasting natural fixing. These buttons will not be falling off.

There are button cuffs with two widths to select and a stiff casual collar that can be turned up if desired. As ever we use heavy duty twin needle stitching to add longevity.

This is a jacket that will wear it's life as it ages - whether chopping logs in a remote forest or animating talking squirrels in a city studio. Beard not compulsory.

Weather range, with t-shirt from 6c to 18c, or down to 0c with heavy layer(s) - ideal for cold, windy through to mild days in changeable weather and showers.
