About Magee 1866
Magee 1866 is a prestigious Irish clothing company with a heritage spanning over 150 years in luxury textile creation, particularly renowned for its handwoven Donegal tweed and fine wool garments.
Founded by John Magee as a small drapers shop in Donegal, the company began by trading locally handwoven tweeds before establishing its own weaving facility to create distinctive fabrics that captured the natural beauty and colors of the surrounding Irish landscape.

This signature textile is still woven on traditional looms at the company's weaving facility in Donegal, preserving artisanal techniques that have been passed down through generations.
While honoring its heritage in traditional Irish textiles, Magee 1866 has successfully adapted to contemporary fashion, creating modern collections for men and women that balance timeless elegance with current style. The brand represents the finest of Irish textile craftsmanship and has become an international ambassador for Ireland's design heritage, bringing the unique character of Donegal tweed to luxury markets worldwide.
