A fascinating history of Irishmen, woven through the clothes they
wear. Taking the clothes they wore as a starting point, Paul Galvin
skilfully weaves together a collection of stories of Irish men who
defined the culture and mood of their time. In 'Push' he tells the
story of the legendary Walker Brothers - cyclists and soldiers who
pedalled through a storm for Ireland at the 1912 Stockholm Games.
In 'Born Mad', discover another side to Samuel Beckett - sartor and
prolific sportsman who had knockout power as a champion boxer in
school. In 'Boland' we learn about Harry Boland's background as a
trained tailor, and in 'Jack' we encounter Jack B. Yeats at the
Olympic Games in Paris. These are just some of men who have
inspired Paul's own fashion collections and whom he writes about
here in a fascinating collection that shines a light on how history
is woven into the clothes Irishmen wear.
