The Gilet That's Rather Good at Being Two Things at Once
Here's a confession: we've rather fallen for this one. It's a genuine vintage US Air Force bomber gilet in black that's been given a second life, and honestly, it's the sort of garment that makes you feel pleasantly capable, even when you're just nipping to the shops. 100 percent nylon construction, naturally, because the original designers knew what they were doing.
Why Choose Our Vintage Bomber Gilet
Reversible Design with Purpose: Flip it inside out to reveal a glorious bright orange lining originally intended for emergency visibility. It's rather marvellous to have options, and this one doubles your wardrobe possibilities with fabulously understated style.
Thoughtful Pocket Configuration: Two exterior breast zip pockets plus two flap pockets inside mean you'll never be without somewhere sensible to put things. We've counted. Several times.
Proper Vintage Construction: Built to last by people who took their work seriously, this isn't throwaway fashion. It's the sort of piece that gets better with wear and tells its own story rather beautifully.
Delightfully Versatile: Works equally well over a jumper or paired with minimal layers. The black exterior keeps things tastefully understated while that orange lining waits to surprise.

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.
