Men's Grandfather Shirt Collection

A detachable collar was once the only difference between a working week and a special occasion, and that history still shapes the collarless design of an Irish grandfather shirt today. Our range spans cotton, linen and flannel weights, so you can choose a shirt suited to layering, warmer days or everyday wear alone, all part of our Men's Grandfather Shirt Collection.

A Shirt Rooted in Everyday Irish Life

The grandfather shirt developed as practical workwear for farmers and tradesmen, made without a fixed collar so it could be worn plainly through the week. A detachable collar could then be added for church or a special occasion, which is likely where the collarless style first became associated with older generations who kept wearing it.

Our range includes soft cotton for everyday wear, along with heavier flannel shirts for colder months and lighter linen shirts suited to warmer weather, so every Irish grandfather shirt in the range fits a different need. Each fabric changes how the shirt feels, offering either a cosy, brushed finish or a crisp, breathable one, though the collarless cut stays the same throughout.

The relaxed, collarless fit works well on its own with jeans and boots, or layered under a jumper or jacket for extra warmth on cooler days. It pairs naturally with our Aran sweaters for a classic Irish combination, whether you are dressing for work, a walk or a more casual family gathering, wherever you land in our Men's Grandfather Shirt Collection.
