The Rather Splendid 1950s Car Coat You Never Knew You Needed
Picture yourself rattling around the countryside in this gloriously nostalgic shorter-length jacket, looking rather more dashing than one probably deserves. This is the sort of coat that makes people wonder if you've just stepped out of a vintage racing photograph, which is precisely the idea.
Why Choose Our Monaco Car Coat
Impeccably Crafted Fabrics: Woven from premium bouclé and windowpane checks sourced from a rather exceptional Italian mill. The sort of quality that feels rather good against the skin and actually improves with age.
Signature Copper Press Studs: Each fastening is finished in our trademark copper, a fabulously made detail that catches the light and does rather elevate the whole affair.
Thoughtful Pocket Placement: Two chest pockets and two hip pockets positioned exactly where you might actually want to put things. Revolutionary, we know.
The Hunting Strap: A charming functional detail that keeps the jacket secure when worn unbuttoned, should you wish to lounge about looking rather too pleased with yourself.
Ten Centre Front Buttons: One for each Grand Prix of the 1958 season. A small flourish for those who rather like their tailoring to tell a story.
Contrasting Zigzag Stitching: Ecru thread traces the undercollar in a delightfully stylish detail that speaks to proper handsome construction.
Product Details
Cut and Fit: Shorter jacket length ideal for track days or simply looking splendid whilst driving about. Model shown is 6 foot 2 inches wearing size large.
Closure: Ten buttons in copper finish.
Pockets: Four in total, two at chest and two at hip.
This is rather the showstopper for anyone who appreciates vintage sportswear with genuinely fabulously made construction. Rather good value for a piece that feels like it belongs in a gentleman's proper wardrobe.
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. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
