Ed’s Story

Real Customers, Real Lives

This is the second film in our Customer Stories series, where we spend time with real FRAHM customers who live the idea of tough and beautiful in honest, everyday ways.

For this chapter, we’re walking with Ed Stringer by the Thames.

Who is Edward Stringer, CB?

Ed is a former senior officer in the RAF. The CB by his name means he has the Order of The Bath. We didn't know this until we were editing the film! He's a very humble chap.

These days, he works for a charity, continuing a life shaped by service, pressure, responsibility, and purpose.

Though his achievements could fill the space on their own, what stands out most is his gentleness, and the way he speaks about life with weight and warmth.

We’re grateful he offered us some of his time to share a small part of his life.

Stuart is 6ft 3, has a 43" chest and wears an Extra Large

The Jacket

During the walk, Ed is wearing his Waxed Odyssey Jacket, chosen for it's subtle military smartness that doesn't look over the top in real life, or not enough for meetings.

That and it's it's huge cargo capacity and range, for the considerable amount of travel he does.

Oh, and he loves the belt.

Why We’re Sharing This

Ed reminds us that FRAHM customers are not just people wearing jackets.

They are individuals with textured, complex, resilient lives.

These films exist because we want to show that. Real men, real different lives, real ups & downs.

We hope you enjoy spending a few minutes with Ed. We did (well, it was a few hours, but heh, editing!)
