Origins
The Emerson Shirt draws its roots from two legendary sources, intertwining their stories to create a piece of clothing that embodies both strength and tradition.
During the tumultuous era of the Second World War, soldiers donned a distinctive collarless shirt known as the "Ordinary Ranks" shirt. This shirt, with its clean lines and understated design, became a symbol of resilience and unity among the brave men who fought for their country. Its practicality and durability were unrivalled, making it a cherished companion to soldiers enduring the harsh realities of war.
A similar style of shirt was also cherished in Ireland as the ‘Grandfather Shirt’. For over two centuries, this humble garment graced the shoulders of hardworking labourers, both in the agricultural fields and bustling blue-collar cities.
