A waistcoat is a versatile choice that can be worn casually or as part of a more formal outfit and the traditional Irish tweed waistcoat is an exceptionally classy option. The fabrics used in our waistcoat designs herald from beautiful areas such as Donegal, and our artisan producers incorporate fabrics such as Donegal Tweed that reflect the subtle colours and textures seen in the Irish countryside, including the lightly flecked Donegal Green.
A well fitted waistcoat is a staple in the wardrobe of men all over the world, and our designs include functional pockets and adjustable belts with high quality lining to create a great finish. We especially love the unique touches, like the leather buttons that set off these designs to perfection. A classic waistcoat combines comfort and style to bring a touch of personality to your outfit and can be adapted for any occasion.
Irish tweed is a practical and comfortable choice, made from Irish wool that is naturally water resistant and warm. This makes Irish tweed clothing a good way to protect yourself against the elements and create warm, dry layers, and a waistcoat can be worn over a formal shirt or a sweater to create the look you want. You can add a touch of gangster chic to a wedding guest outfit or simply step out on a walk in style.
Our waistcoats are woven by expert artisans in Ireland, including the expert weavers at Mucros Weavers in Killarney, County Kerry, who have been perfecting their skills for centuries. We also have an excellent range of sweaters, hats and caps that feature top quality wool from sheep and alpacas and will last a lifetime if they are cared for correctly.
Wool garments are an excellent alternative to the manmade fabrics that are so prolific in fast fashion, providing a durable, sustainable option for climate conscious fashionistas. We love the seasonal colour choices and fabric combinations that pay tribute to Irish heritage, combining tradition with a contemporary twist.
Here at Weavers of Ireland, we have a wonderful range of clothing, homewares and accessories for you to explore and we’ll be happy to help you find your new favourites. Our waistcoat selection includes several different styles for men, women and children and you can style yours to suit any outfit.
