Jimmy Hourihan Woolens

We have known Jimmy Hourihan for over 30 years.  He is one of our best vendors for quality Irish Woolens.  Jimmy told us once that his fabrics are made in factories that also produce for some of the world's best clothng designers.  If you feel one of his capes you can tell.  

He uses a supreme wool/cashmere blend that feels expensive at a great price.

Step into a legacy of Dublin fashion with our collection of Jimmy Hourihan capes, shawls, and wraps. Since 1960, Jimmy Hourihan has been a "leading light" of the Irish fashion scene, crafting exquisite outerwear that transforms luxury textiles into wearable heirlooms. Based in the heart of Dublin, this family-run brand is world-renowned for blending mid-century sophistication with the rugged beauty of the Irish landscape.

The Iconic Irish Walking Cape
Our selection features the celebrated Irish walking cape, a signature "one size fits most" silhouette designed to drape beautifully on any figure. By focusing on inclusive cuts and clever drapes rather than rigid sizing, a Hourihan piece solves "fit anxiety" while maintaining a tailored, feminine aesthetic. These are not just garments; they are "moving landscapes" designed for changeable climates and timeless style.

Premium Irish Craftsmanship & Textiles
Every piece in the collection highlights the finest materials Ireland has to offer:
