1970s Vintage Irish Tweed Coat Jimmy Hourihan Dublin Size 12

This is a very nice quality vintage Irish tweed coat made by Jimmy Hourihan of Dublin.  This vintage Irish tweed coat is made with a removable capelet.  It has a rounded collar, optionally does up at the neck with a button and has a four hidden button closure.  The sleeves each have a buttoned belt at the cuff and the waist cinches with a matching belt.  It has a diagonal pocket at either side.  The wool tweed is purple coloured and made up of multiple tones including purple, violet, red, yellow and brown.  This vintage Irish tweed coat is fully lined in blue acetate.
Label: Made in the Republic of Ireland Hourihan by Jimmy Hourihan of Dublin.  Jimmy Hourihan has been in business since the late 1950s. They specialize in luxury fabrics, including Irish tweeds from Donegal.  They no longer produce coats like this, so this is a wonderful piece to acquire and treasure.
