Tweed was first used to make clothing hundreds of years ago, in Ireland and Scotland, where its warm, water-resistant properties made it a great choice for farmers and those living in harmony with the elements. Tweed fabrics were originally made with hand-spun wool and dyed with natural materials such as mosses and local plants, which created beautiful, earthy tones that are still popular today. Tweed is a practical fabric to protect against the weather, particularly in an unpredictable climate such as Ireland’s, and it has long been considered a practical choice for outdoor pursuits and country walks.
Our Maggie Tweed Shorts by Jack Murphy are a gorgeous choice for any casual outfit and can add a versatile touch of sophistication and style. They are suitable for all weather conditions since they look fantastic layered over tights or bare legs and can be worn with a t-shirt or vest top or with a classic Aran sweater or cardigan in cooler seasons. These shorts are tailored to create a gorgeous, feminine style with functional pockets, full lining and wide belt hoops to accessorise with the belt of your choice.
We have a good variety of tweed jackets, skirts and culottes so you can create the looks you love with ease, and our plain linen shirts and luxurious Aran sweaters work well to complement this style. We can help you to find the tweed garments you are looking for, and we choose only the best quality fabrics and finishes so you can be sure that every little detail will add to your comfort as well as your appearance.
At Weavers of Ireland, we have an extensive range of clothing and homewares made from the finest Irish wool, including knitted and woven styles that have been passed down through the generations. We work with expert craftspeople to preserve these skills for the future, and every piece in our collection is made with care.
