Saving Ireland Part1.
In the 19thC the Irish gave us W.B.Yeates, James Joyce and Guinness.
The 20thC Irish have given us Primark, Ryanair and Boyzone - mmmm.... the Celtic Hyena anyone?
In an effort to put things right we bring you the wonderful Donegal Tweed Jumper, new for Winter 2011 - this is pull-your-socks-up-and-get-crackin' Knitwear of the highest order.
Cosy and durable are words invented to describe it and better still - you'll never have to wash it.
It is redolent of gorgeous Irish redheads, fiery lyrical geniuses and the towering cliffs of the West in the winter.
The colours are as deep as Seamus Heaney, bright, rich and alive (unlike the economy.)
Originally made for rowing Longboats across the Irish Sea to terrify the Lancastrians (again), it will keep you warm on the mountain tops, in the tree tops and during your stint at the top of the mast as lookout.
You can safely hide 2 small children in it during a storm, it'll keep your soup warm and frighten off intruders by the strength of it's personality.
100% Wool Spun in Ireland the old fashioned way, the only way, to the sound of the sea and a real fire.
This is serious, genuinely marvellous wool from a marvellous Island.
It's not cheap - it's a 19thC kind of garment.
