| Irish T
shirts! The great convergence of Ireland's native wit and voluablilty
with the greatest item of clothing known to man - the T shirt! So
we make the Irish T shirt, celebratory of all that is good about
Ireland and the Irish.
What is it about the Irish?!
Something, some hidden spark of joie de vivre, some twinkle, some
fearless, almost reckless desire to live as though tomorrow was
cancelled - the Irish of all generations have something in them
that laughs in the face of establishments and stati quo and joins
instead in a wholehearted love of life. And it is this love of life
for which the Irish T shirt has become well known. Whatever the
slogan on an Irish T shirt it will be witty and intriguing. What
else can be expected from the Nation that produced so many great
writers and thinkers?
Irish T shirts are no longer
the preserve of the 100% Irish, which is good for those of us who
aren't! Ireland has become a state of mind as much as a place -
Irishness suggests no longer a nationality, but a state of mind,
a way of approching life, a refusal to take umbrage and yet a desire
to smile through the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. We
must be grateful for ireland, the irish, and Irish T shirts!
