Inspired by W.B. Yeats
A waistcoat inspired by the lyrical soul of Ireland—William Butler Yeats. Born in Dublin in 1865, Yeats was not only one of the greatest poets of the 20th century but also a founding figure of the Irish Literary Revival. A dreamer, mystic, and patriot, Yeats was deeply influenced by Irish folklore, mythology, and the spiritual texture of his homeland. He co-founded the Abbey Theatre, championed Irish arts, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.

Yeats believed in the power of art to shape national identity. His work traversed the mystical and the political, the romantic and the revolutionary. This waistcoat, like his poetry, carries a quiet beauty and complexity—crafted for those who find meaning in the details and pride in their heritage.
