Hairy Baby – Sure you have to be Irish to Get It!

There really is nothing like a Hairy Baby T-Shirt. I was introduced to them, quite a few moons ago, by my sister who at the time had gone banana’s buying Hairy Baby baby t-shirts for Christmas prezzies for the tots she knew and buying wickedly cool Men’s t-shirts for my brothers. There was, from the beginning something different about these shirts. They came from an Irish company, yes. They were well made, yes. The print was quality, yes. They were funny, hell yes … but that wasn’t just it! What they were and what they still are is truthful, truthfully Irish! So much so that you really have to be Irish or at least have lived on these Fair Isles to get them, to get the humour, funniness and shtyle!

Founded in the early 2000’s by a once Hairy Baby himself, Kerryman Daragh Murphy, the Hairy Baby empire of T-Shirts began it’s life. Daragh, a t-shirt wearing record spinning Irishman found that the only t-shirts he could find to express his Irish-ness were those covered in little leprechauns and shamrocks. Dismayed by this but delighted with himself at same time, he decided to take it upon himself to change the ‘I’m from Ireland’ t-shirt forever! Roping his sister and brother into his master plan, the Murphy family began to creep into the Irish market. Now Hairy Baby is loved by over 36,000 Irish Facebook fans worldwide, can be found proudly displayed in one of Ireland’s major Department Stores, Arnotts and was/is loved so much by the writers of the famous Fr. Ted, that they were given the rights to produce the best Fr. Ted t-shirts that ever existed and probably will.

To get your taste buds tickled I’ve chosen to share with you some of my favourite Men, Women, Kids and Baby t-shirts that are available to buy from the Hairy Baby website www.hairybaby.com. I’ve also included some Father Ted classics, which you can purchase from Hairy Baby’s Father Ted’s Tees website www.tedstees.com. Other Hairy Baby T-Shirts, I love are the Sminky Animation ones – you’ve seen more than one post about these cartoons on The Life of Stuff.
