A beautifully designed Irish luxury coat by Hourihan by Jimmy Hourihan of Dublin, showcasing the designer’s distinctive approach to elegant outerwear. Crafted in the Republic of Ireland from a sumptuous blend of 50% virgin wool, 25% lambswool and 25% cashmere, this exceptional piece combines timeless style with remarkable softness and warmth.

The coat is presented in a sophisticated camel colour and features a clean, architectural silhouette with a softly rounded bateau neckline and an elegant concealed asymmetric front fastening secured by two decorative buttons at the shoulders. Large angled patch pockets enhance both the practicality and sculptural appearance of the design.

What makes this piece particularly special is its original detachable shoulder cape scarf, which fastens discreetly to the neckline with two buttons concealed beneath the cape. The cape drapes gracefully over the shoulders, transforming the coat into a dramatic yet understated statement piece while providing additional warmth. It may also be removed entirely, allowing the coat to be worn as a sleek minimalist design, effectively offering two elegant looks in one garment.

The relaxed cut, raglan sleeves and beautifully weighted wool blend allow the coat to drape effortlessly while maintaining its refined shape. Jimmy Hourihan became internationally recognised for producing luxurious Irish outerwear that balanced traditional craftsmanship with contemporary styling, and this coat is an excellent example of that enduring design philosophy.

Elegant, versatile and exceptionally wearable, it is a timeless investment piece that remains as relevant today as when it was first created.
