At Weavers of Ireland, we are committed to safeguarding Ireland’s heritage of craftsmanship for generations to come. The wool and tweed garments we offer are carefully crafted using premium materials known for their durability and rich texture. One of the defining features of Irish tweed is its depth of color—earthy greens, ocean blues, and warm browns that mirror the Irish landscape. From lightweight walking jackets to longer field and hunting-style coats, these versatile layers pair effortlessly with both casual and formal attire.

A wool or tweed jacket is a smart choice when the forecast is uncertain. Naturally insulating and resistant to light rain, wool helps regulate temperature and keeps you warm without feeling bulky. The Owen Tweed Herringbone 3/4 Coat, for example, is a sophisticated option that layers seamlessly over business suits or sport coats. Tailored in a rich navy Melton fabric, it features refined button accents, a structured silhouette, and a fully lined interior with secure inside pockets—making it as functional as it is stylish.

For those who appreciate heritage-inspired fashion, pieces like the James Stephens Brown Poets Jacket channel vintage elegance with a distinctly gentlemanly appeal. Our selection also includes sport coats that transition easily from dressy to relaxed settings, as well as innovative designs such as tweed jackets with cable-knit sleeves—blending traditional Irish knitting techniques with durable woven wool for a distinctive, textured finish.

With a wide range of styles, price points, and silhouettes, our jacket and coat collection offers something for every preference and occasion. Elevate a simple jeans-and-shirt combination with a tailored tweed blazer, or complete a more formal ensemble with a full-length overcoat that creates a sharp, streamlined profile—perfect for the office, special events, or evenings out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Donegal tweed?

+

Donegal tweed is a hand-woven wool cloth from Ireland's north-west, named for the county of Donegal where it has been woven for several centuries. The fleck gives Donegal tweed its signature: small knots of coloured yarn woven into the base in moss greens, heather purples, slate blues and ochres against a muted grey, brown or oatmeal base. Donegal is softer and lighter than many other tweeds, so a Donegal tweed jacket wears comfortably indoors as well as out. Our Donegal tweed jackets include fitted blazers, longer coats and classic three-quarter styles.

Is a tweed jacket the same as a blazer or sports jacket?

+

They overlap, but each has its own use. A tweed jacket describes any jacket cut from tweed cloth, including blazers and sports jackets. A blazer has a smarter, more fitted shape, cut tighter at the waist and designed to pair with trousers like a suit jacket. A sports jacket, sometimes called a country jacket, is looser than a blazer, usually with patch pockets, and designed for layered casual wear or a weekend outing. For most occasions, a mid-weight tweed sports jacket in a muted colour gives you the widest wardrobe range.

How warm is a Donegal tweed jacket?

+

Donegal tweed is a warm fabric for winter thanks to its dense weave that adds insulation on top of the heat-trapping wool fibres. Though not as warm as a heavier wool coat or a lined wax jacket, a tweed jacket with a decent lining will handle most autumn and winter days. Tweed also breathes well, so you won’t overheat indoors or when the sun comes out. As winter grows sharper, layering a jumper underneath can keep the cold at bay, but you may want to step up to a full-length tweed coat or wax jacket for the coldest days.

How do I care for a tweed jacket?

+

Most tweed jackets and coats are dry clean only. The lining, the structured shoulder and the drape of a tweed piece don’t take well to home washing, which can shrink the wool and warp the shape. Between dry cleans, brush your jacket with a soft clothes brush after each wear and hang it on a wide hanger (not a thin wire one, which marks the shoulder) to air before storing. Avoid folding, which creases the collar and lapels. Check the care label for precise instructions for your jacket.
