Irish Grandfather Shirts are a traditional Irish linen garment, much loved by the locals. It’s a kind of linen shirt, long-sleeved and collarless. Handmade, it’s one of the gift ideas you’ll want to bring back from your trip!
Simple, elegant yet casual, the Grandfather Shirt is one of the great classics of Irish fashion! Mainly worn by men, it is appreciated for its simplicity, quality and timeless look.
This shirt has been worn for centuries by Irish families, and was once considered “Sunday best”, to be worn on special occasions, or when Irish people went to mass.
Since then, the Irish Grandfather Shirt has continued to occupy an important place in Irish dressing habits.
They are generally available from specialist textile stores such as Avoca. All colors are available! Count on less than 40€ each (the price of linen is rather expensive, but the quality is remarkable). Don’t hesitate to try it on first, as garment makers sometimes cut slightly differently depending on the brand.
