Vintage Parachute Regiment Dress Jacket in Pure New Wool
Pickup currently not available
A Rather Splendid Piece of British Military Heritage
Here's the thing about vintage military tailoring: it was made by people who knew what they were doing, which is rather reassuring. This is an authentically issued N02 Dress Jacket from the Parachute Regiment, and it's the sort of garment that whispers quietly about actual adventure while you're simply standing in a pub.
Why Choose Our Vintage Parachute Regiment Jacket?
Pure New Wool Construction: Properly handsome fabric that's worn in beautifully, with the sort of patina that only genuine service and time can provide. No synthetic shortcuts here.
Service Ribbons: Sewn above the left breast flap pocket, these are the real thing. Whoever wore this before you had earned them, and that rather marvellous detail remains.
Flattering Cut: Slim waist with a split back designed by people who understood how a soldier ought to move. Utterly fetching proportions that have somehow stood the test of decades.
Authentic Heritage: This isn't a reproduction or a stage costume. It's the genuine article, issued to someone who jumped out of aeroplanes for a living. That's rather good provenance.

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.
