What is an Irish walking cape?

An Irish walking cape is a piece of outerwear, traditionally made from Irish wool. It is typically worn over the shoulders and extends down to the knees or even lower. Irish walking capes often come in bright colors and different motifs such as Celtic or patchwork. For more, check out Irish walking capes from our Jimmy Hourihan collection.

What's the history of the Irish walking cape?

The Irish walking cape, or Irish wool cape, is a traditional outer garment worn by both men and women. It derived from traditional cloaks worn in the sixteenth century when woolen cloaks gained popularity in Ireland due to their practicality in rapidly changing weather. Nowadays, Irish walking capes remain popular and continue to serve their purpose as elegant outerwear on the Emerald Isle.
