Handmade in Dublin | A Celebration of Irish Craft and Design

Crafted with precision and steeped in tradition, the O’Brien Brown Herringbone Tweed Waistcoat is a refined expression of Ireland’s textile legacy. Woven in a classic brown herringbone tweed with flecks of soft earth tones, it evokes images of bogland trails, peat fires, and the rich warmth of an Irish autumn.

Each waistcoat is handmade in Dublin by master tailors who bring decades of skill to every stitch. From the first cut to the final press, every detail is considered—a testament to value of clothing made with care and purpose.

Cut in a regular fit with a six-button closure  this versatile piece moves easily between formal and relaxed occasions. A full cloth back with an adjustable rear belt ensures an elegant silhouette, while two working welt pockets offer both form and function. Inside, the satin lining features a bespoke world map design, honouring the global journeys and enduring spirit of the Irish diaspora.

Whether worn for its texture, its tailoring, or its story, the O'Brien Waistcoat is a timeless tweed vest to be worn, lived in, and passed on.
