Collection: Irish Art T-Shirts & Graphic Tees

Irish t-shirts printed with the art itself — not a shamrock and a slogan.

Almost everything in this collection comes off a wall in the rest of the shop. Mainie Jellett's Achill Horses and A Goat Monument. Harry Clarke's The Song of the Mad Prince, from 1917. William Orpen's self-portrait. The same works you will find in the Jellett, Harry Clarke and Orpen print collections, on 250gsm paper — here on combed cotton instead.

As Gaeilge

A run of the tees carry Irish rather than English: Grá, Bród, Cailíní Power, and the seanfhocal that tells you to speak it badly rather than not at all — Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste. The same phrases are in the As Gaeilge print collection.

The musicians, the writers, the 1916 generation

Sinéad O'Connor, Luke Kelly, Rory Gallagher, Shane MacGowan, Phil Lynott, Christy Moore and the trad players — accordion, concertina. Beckett, Wilde, Behan and Heaney. Markievicz, Connolly, Collins and Casement. Joey Dunlop. The portraits are drawn under the BÓM mark and printed here as well as in the Irish Music and Irish Writers print collections.

The shirts themselves

Premium combed cotton in unisex fits that hold their shape and their colour, printed to order and true to size — men's and women's, from S upward, with a size guide if you are between sizes. Free worldwide shipping on every order.

Looking for a gift? The under €50 and Irish gifts collections gather the tees alongside prints and mugs.

The letters

Once or twice a month we write about the paintings — where they came from, who made them, and why they still hold. The Burton on the turret stairs and the Danish ballad behind it. How Harry Clarke got that blue. Why the Celtic Tree of Life is younger than everyone says. No offers dressed up as news.
