Vintage Field Shirt with Cats Who Care Artwork
Pickup currently not available
A Rather Splendid Slice of Vintage Rebellion
Picture this: a proper 1960s field shirt, 100 percent cotton, that's somehow managed to survive decades without losing its charm or its ability to make you look rather fabulous. This isn't just any vintage find. It's a gorgeously made Vietnam-era piece featuring original artwork by Timothy Midnight on the back—a delightfully stylish illustration called Cats Who Care that tells quite the story.
Why Choose Our Vintage Field Shirt
Utterly Fetching Design Details: Popper epaulettes, double popper flap pockets on chest and hip, double button adjustable cuffs, and front zip and pop buttons combine for authentic vintage functionality that's marvellous to wear.
Beautifully Crafted Embellishments: British Royal Navy Electronic Warfare hand embroidered metalwork sits proudly on a wool patch, lending genuine provenance and splendid character.
The Story Behind the Artwork: Timothy Midnight is an artist and musician from Idaho who found himself in Margate during the pandemic, hanging about with young creatives and rollup smokers. A rather amusing phone call to his mother sparked the inspiration for this iconic artwork—proof that sometimes the best ideas come from the most ordinary moments.

SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
