The Jacket That Makes You Look Properly Handsome Without Even Trying
Here's the thing about vintage military tailoring: it actually knows what it's doing. This rather glorious French Air Force jacket from the 1950s channels the rather fetching silhouette favoured by Dwight D. Eisenhower himself, which is to say it's cut with the sort of high-waisted confidence that makes even the chronically slouching among us stand a little straighter.
Why Choose Our French Air Force Jacket
Fabulously Made Construction: 100 percent cotton that's worn in beautifully, with a proper weight that suggests this thing has actual history. Not the sort of garment that falls apart after a season or two of enthusiastic wearing.
Splendid Period Details: Button fastened front, functional flap breast pockets (for storing important things like your dignity and perhaps a cigarette case), epaulettes that sit just so, button adjustable waist for those of us whose torsos refuse to stay consistent, and small peak lapels that manage to be both authoritative and rather charming.
Utterly Fetching Silhouette: The high-waisted cut is quite the showstopper if you're after that vintage military polish. Works marvellously over everything from weekend casualwear to properly dressed occasions.

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.
