The Shirt That Proves You Have Impeccable Taste (And Stories)
Right then, imagine a vintage military shirt that actually looks rather good on actual humans, combined with artwork so gloriously quirky it'll make people ask questions at every gathering you attend. This is that shirt. Properly handsome, delightfully wearable, and splendidly odd in all the right ways.
Why Choose Our Desert Cats Field Shirt
Authentically Vintage: An original Flying Cross tropical khaki shirt that's survived decades and still looks fabulous. None of that mass-produced nonsense.
Breathe Easy: Metal vent holes engineered for actual comfort, because sweating through your clothes is rather unglamorous.
Iconic Artwork: Featuring marvellous cats who smoke imagery on the back. Yes, really. Inspired by the young creatives and rollies-smoking cats that sparked an artist's imagination in Margate.
Properly Made: 65 percent polyester and 35 percent rayon blend that's fabulously durable without feeling like a tent.
Military Details: First Sergeant rank insignia on both arms, structured shoulder epaulettes, and double-button cuffs that actually function like a grown-up's shirt should.

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!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

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.
