Original Civil War Era Preachers Coat in Wool
Pickup currently not available
A rather splendid piece of American history, this authentic Civil War-era preachers coat dates to the 1860s and represents the sort of garment one might have worn whilst delivering rousing sermons on the frontier, all whilst dodging the rather inconvenient hazards of the period. Made from 100 percent wool, it's the kind of coat that doesn't come around often, if we're being honest.
Why Choose Our Civil War Era Preachers Coat?
Authentically Rare: A one-off original piece, not a reproduction, which means you're wearing actual history rather than a clever simulation.
Properly Handsome Cut: The slim fit ensures a flattering silhouette that's rather more fashionable than one might expect from something 160 years old.
Clever Design: Features a cut-away specifically tailored for a clerical collar, a detail that speaks to its genuine provenance and original purpose.
Beautifully Crafted Materials: 100 percent wool construction, fabulously made to withstand both time and the occasional frontier skirmish.

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 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.

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

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.
