Rooted in Guinness cooperage heritage. Reworked for today.
A shirt with a story behind it — inspired by classic utility shirts and the working heritage of the skilled coopers of St. James’s Gate, then reimagined for today.
At St. James’s Gate, coopering was a highly skilled trade built on precision and experience. Coopers relied largely on a trained eye rather than written measurements or patterns, with years of apprenticeship behind their craft.
Crafted from 100% heavyweight cotton in a rich dark green, the Cooperage Work Shirt has an easy, oversized fit that gives it a relaxed, contemporary feel. The short sleeves and button-down collar keep the silhouette clean, while four functional pockets add character and practical detail. Wear it buttoned on its own or open over a tee for an easy layered look.
Look closer and the Guinness story comes through. Chest embroidery inspired by Arthur Guinness’s original bottling mark and a woven Cooperage Guinness patch bring distinctive heritage details to the design, connecting it back to the craftsmanship behind the collection.
Substantial in feel, relaxed in fit and easy to style — a distinctive everyday shirt with a story in the details.
Built then. Worn now.
