Editor’s Notes:

 

About Jack Murphy Clothing:

Jack Murphy began his career in the garment industry in the 40’s, specialising in corsetry. Born in Dublin in 1922, he like many at the time served in World War 11. He was a radar controller in the RAF, travelling all over the world to places such as Burma and japan. After returning from the war, he moved to the seaside town of Skerries, Co Dublin with his wife Frances and there he started up his own niche corsetiere business. Jack’s son Michael joined him in the business when he was 17 and began learning the garment trade. Design, pattern cutting, sewing, sales and distribution, they did it all from the factory in Skerries. With this knowledge of garment structure and ladies fashion, and taking the outdoor functional military attire into consideration, soon the Jack Murphy brand was born.

Now a third generation Irish family business, based in Skerries Co Dublin, Jack Murphy specialises in outerwear and occasion-wear apparel with a particular focus on tailoring. Whether it is an oversized rain jacket or a full length tweed coat, functionality and reliability are still intrinsic to the design, but not at the expense of style and tailoring. Jack was a family man, so it’s no surprise that Michael, his son and Sarah , his granddaughter are now continuing his elegant legacy. Each piece still carries Jack’s personal signature of authentication. Jack Murphy Clothing is supported by Fingal Local Enterprise Office.
