Growth and success continues to be part of the Ireland Shirt story, something the founders are quite proud of. "The company keeps us pretty busy" says O'Brien smiling.  "I think the growth and success of the business is rooted in personal frustrations with stereotypical clothing options being foisted on us" added Darby.  "People are so tired of all the 'Kiss me I'm Irish' and 'Drunk Leprechauns'.  We were so frustrated that we decided to make our own shirt line and launch our company, Ireland Shirt.  I think that passion has resonated with real Irish folks and that has fueled the growth." 

In fact, the growth and positive response by consumers has been so stark that Darby and O'Brien expanded the Ireland Shirt™ principles and created a new apparel business called, Shirts of the World.  "Shirts of the World is a wrapper for the Ireland Shirt concept,” explained Darby.  "Each country is its own brand and behaves independently, however they are all tied together as a Shirts of the World offering.  It’s an ambitious idea no doubt, but we have seen the same level of engagement with other countries so we think we are on to something."   Now with 6 countries launched, the guys who started Ireland Shirt are looking forward to continued growth. "We now have Ireland Shirt™, Italy Shirt™, Japan Shirt™, Mexico Shirt™, Great Britain Shirt™, and China Shirt™ launched and have 14 more countries in the pipeline - things couldn't be more exciting,” said O'Brien.  "And we have Ireland to thank."

Ireland Shirt™ is a company brand in the Shirts of the World family. Shirts of the World have sales offices in Washington D.C. and New York City, and friends and followers of Ireland Shirt and Shirts of the World are from all over the world.

If they'll confirm that the shirts are manufactured in Ireland, I'll buy 3 and recommend them to everyone I know.
Stiofain,2 Irish guys who have founded their own company with unique Irish shirts and garments, and are clever enough to be expanding to other COUNTIES: Italy, Japan, Mexico, Great Britain, and China - BECAUSE as with any good entrepreneur, they find new markets to expand and grow - and are developing ranges I believe for 14 other countries - incl Greece, Brazil, Spain, France, Canada, Russia, Sweden. So while you spend your time knocking a couple of Irish guys who have setup a business with a base in NY, with classic style- and understand what makes the Irish authentic -not the booze but the beauty of Ireland - at least they are making it for themselves. Yet all you can do is knock it - shame on you! - Butyou are typical of the phrase "Ireland is the sow that eats its young"
Good points, Stiofain. A pretty blatant free commercial for this outfit. I never go out of my way to Buy Irish. It's a scam. I'll Buy Irish when the bosses in Ireland start to Hire Irish.
for jobs! But since you don't we can only assume that they are made in Bangladesh or some other such place.
Out of the articles you have had about Irish Shirts I don't believe you have ever mentioned where their made. If they were made in Ireland it seems you would be shouting about what great opperatune
