Impressed with quality and stitching

Ordered a flat cap, really impressed with the quality of the material and stitching. Royal Mail delivered to the wrong address i contacted Eirin customer services and they were so helpful in trying to resolve that, despite it not being their issue. Would definitely buy from here again.

Excellent customer service

I've only ordered earrings from this seller so far but was very impressed with the quality and the price. I love the look of the keffiyehs they sell so I'll probably place another order soon

Would also like to note that I had a tiny issue with my order where I initially received 1 pair or earrings when I'd ordered 2. Customer service were really helpful and responsive, I received the second pair very promptly and was happy with the experience

I love this firm

I love this firm as they are supporting Palestine. Thats why I chose to order my palestinian headcloth from them. They had a great range of colours and I enjoyed picking out mine - a desert colour. The kefiye arrived soon and is great. Thanks to all at Eirin Apparel

Do not order from this company is my…

Do not order from this company is my advice.
Ordered two hats to Sweden.
Eirinn apparel promised quick delivery, three weeks later and it turns out eirinn apparel did not inform me I would have to pay vat and a handling fee to receive the package in Sweden so there was a 40 percent markup on the final price.
They know this happens but they don't tell you for obvious reasons.
I asked for a reimbursement and the answer was a flat out no.
If a company is not up front and honest that's bad, if a company says no refund or even a discount when you complain about incurring a 40 percent charge then they shouldn't be in business because that is just terrible customer service.
The response below is a little disingenuous, all small businesses selling into Sweden from a non EU country should be aware that their products are going to be taxed and a postal handling fee may apply.
If they stated this at the purchase of their products page on the website then at least a customer has a choice and there are no surprises, it also doesn't matter who gets the extra money it's about being upfront about the final cost. Implying they had no idea this could happen is frankly not credible in my opinion.
They actually asked me could this charge be vat and a postnord handling fee before I sent the screenshot so that shows some awareness on their part.

Hi Stephen,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with the experience.

To clarify, the additional payment you were asked to make was not a charge from Eirin Apparel. It was made up of Swedish VAT and a PostNord handling fee, both of which are set and collected locally in Sweden by PostNord/customs.

This money is not paid to us, collected by us, or controlled by us. We do not receive any part of it, and we are not notified in advance when PostNord or Swedish customs decide to apply VAT or handling fees to an individual parcel.

We also want to address the suggestion that we “know this happens” and do not tell customers. That is not accurate. International import charges can vary depending on the destination country, local VAT rules, carrier handling policies, parcel value, and how the parcel is processed after arrival. These charges are applied locally after the order has been dispatched and are outside of our control.

When you contacted us, we asked for a screenshot so we could review the charge properly rather than giving you a rushed answer. Once you sent it through, we confirmed that the charge was Swedish VAT plus a PostNord handling fee, not an Eirin Apparel charge. Because the payment was made directly to PostNord and not to us, we’re unable to reimburse it.

We understand that unexpected fees are frustrating, especially on an international order, and we’ll be reviewing how this is communicated on our website so customers outside the UK/Ireland have clearer expectations before ordering.

Products are mostly ai generated “art”

Products are mostly ai generated “art”. Pin that I ordered and received was nothing like what was advertised. Item was drop shipped straight from China.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order.

Just to clarify, Eirin Apparel does not “dropship straight from China.” We work with trusted third-party logistics and fulfilment partners to help us ship orders efficiently, but our products, branding, designs, and customer support are all handled by us.

We’re also unsure what is meant by “AI generated art” in this case, as our designs are created as part of our own brand collections and are intended to reflect Irish heritage, identity, and culture.

If the pin you received was not as expected, we would have been more than happy to look into this and resolve it directly. Please feel free to contact us with your order details so we can review the issue properly.

Thanks

I recently experienced an issue with my order that was shipped via Royal Mail. After noticing the problem, I reached out to Eirin for assistance. I was pleasantly surprised by their prompt response and willingness to help.

As soon as I brought the issue to their attention, they took immediate action to rectify the situation. The team kept me informed throughout the entire process, providing clear updates and reassuring me that they were on top of it.

Not only did they communicate effectively, but they also went above and beyond by resending my order without any hesitation. I truly appreciated their friendly and helpful demeanour, which made the entire experience far more pleasant than I initially expected. Overall, Eirin's customer service exceeded my expectations, and I felt valued throughout the resolution of my issue.

Chinese Rubbish

This is definitely not what it is advertised as. I can only assume this is drop-shipping outfit or similar based in Belfast. Absolutely nothing like the website, very cheaply made Chinese rubbish. In fact, if you visit the Alibaba website and type in Newsboy Hat, the same hat that I’m writing a review of, including the very same pictures used on the Eirin Apparel website, are there and selling for £2.21 an item. Truly Irish! The company name is Yantai Hanyi Clothing Co., Ltd. item number 25SM8601.

There’s a button tag on the side that says “Jeans Jeans”, for whatever reason. The website photos clearly show an Eirin logo (this was a mistake, the logo is whatever the Chinese company had on their pictures but also what was received doesn’t resemble the one on the Eirin Apparel advertised item).

The quality and finish is very poor, the ‘rust’ colour does not bear any resemblance to the website pictures. It arrived folded and in a thin plastic bag, no protection or covering inside.

I cannot stress how bad the quality of this hat is. If this is their nod to Irish Heritage then they are doing a massive disservice to the country. That said I will assume that it has nothing to do with Irish Heritage and everything to do with making money off of an association that clearly doesn’t exist outside of their marketing.

Save your money, don’t buy from these scammers.

Edited to respond to owners reply -

The Eirin Apparel website does show a branded button however, on finding the company on Alibaba that you purchased the product from, it is clear now that the branding is not Eirin. That being said, the button shown on both your pictures and the exact same pictures shown on the Alibaba web page (Yantai Hanyi Clothing Co., Ltd) are very different in both quality and style. If I could post pictures here I would, unfortunately I am unable to do so. However, I have taken photographs and screenshots and will post where I can.

With regards to scamming, you and I are both aware that these items are far from advertised and are not worth a penny of the money you are selling them for. A 53% 1 star reviewer rating says everything that needs to be said. You have received the photographs that I sent showing the absolutely abysmal quality of the item and yet at no time have you acknowledged this or even offered an apology.

Where are your products made? Where are they shipped from to customers? Why is your return address in Birmingham and why is there no return address listed of the site? Why do you pretend to be someone else when replying to emails? How is providing goods that are not as advertised, when the photographs are used as a part of the advertising, not scamming? Especially so when your whole website waxes about the Irish Heritage and design that is in each of your items yet they are bought job-lot from Alibaba.

Hi Eddie,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order.

However, we strongly reject the claims made in this review. Eirin Apparel is not a dropshipping business, and we do not accept the suggestion that you were “scammed” or that we knowingly misrepresented the product.

We also need to clarify one specific point: the website photos for this cap do not show an Eirin logo on the side button, nor does the listing state that the cap includes custom Eirin-branded hardware. The side button is a standard garment component used on this style of cap.

When you contacted us, we replied directly and confirmed that if you were unhappy with the item, you could return it unworn and in the condition received for a refund in line with our returns policy. That remains the correct resolution.

We take product feedback seriously and will review the returned item properly, including the points raised around colour, finish, labelling and packaging. If there is a genuine issue with the item received, we will deal with it appropriately.

That said, dissatisfaction with a product does not justify accusations of fraud, scamming, dropshipping, or deliberate deception.

Once the cap is received back, we will inspect it and process the refund accordingly.

I ordered a brown Belfast crown

I ordered a brown Belfast crown, with the rust and spirit of the Belfast docks, I got a plastic feel very thin cap that looked nothing like it's sales pic, it also had a small leather tag and stud with stud saying usa style! (I'd bought a cap previously from a allegedly UK company for half the price when it turned up it is the same cap but it was delivered in a parcel with Chinese customs stamps and UK customs stamps!) I ordered a 2nd off eirin, as the Belfast crown heritage looked great,, different materials, tidy, sharp looking,,,,, BUT, when i did get it, and tried it on it will cut your circulation off, give u a headache it's a small fit with a elasticated headband , it looks like your wearing a circular cushion, it's just so badly made no shape to it, like the sales pics, at the front mines got a corner on one side, I paid £25 with post, I'd give them to a charity shop but I don't think they'd want them,,I'd honestly however "irish" you think you are KEEP your money in your pocket it's chinese crap sold as a quality Irish product which it is definitely not

Hi,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your Brown Belfast Crown cap.

We do want to clarify that Eirin Apparel is based in Belfast and we do not present this cap as being handmade in Ireland. The product is sold as an Irish-inspired flat cap, with styling and branding built around Irish heritage and identity. We do not claim that every component is manufactured in Ireland.

That said, we take feedback around fit, structure, finish and comfort seriously. If the cap felt too tight, poorly shaped, or not as expected, we would have been happy to review this directly and arrange a return in line with our returns policy.

We also do not accept the suggestion that we are deliberately selling a poor-quality item under false pretences. Many customers have been happy with this cap, but we understand that it clearly did not meet your expectations.

If the item is unworn and still eligible for return, please contact us with your order details and we’ll be happy to look into it.

Bought the *Men’s “Belfast Crown” Irish…

Bought the *Men’s “Belfast Crown” Irish Flat Cap – Shipyard Green* from Eirin Apparel, and I have to say I was rather disappointed with the experience.

The item I received feels very much like a typical dropshipping product. The material doesn’t really match the description and feels quite cheap — closer to Temu/AliExpress quality. It’s certainly not what you’d expect for a £20 item.

* I ordered an “Irish Flat Cap”
* I received a different version called *“Belfast Crown Heritage+ Newsboy Cap”*
* This is not just a slight variation — it appears to be a completely different product in both name and positioning

There is nothing about this item that really justifies the use of the term “Irish heritage” — it comes across more as marketing language than anything else.

In fact, the actual value of the cap is probably around £5 at most.

On top of that, the original product page I ordered from has since been changed, and the old link now redirects to a different page with a different name and description.

Returning it isn’t really practical for me as I’m not in the UK, and shipping would cost nearly as much as the item itself.

If you’re considering buying from this store, I’d think twice before spending your money.

**Rating: 1/10**

Hi,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order.

To clarify, the cap you received was the updated version of the Belfast Crown cap. This was explained to you directly by email after you contacted us. It was not sent as a random or unrelated product.

We understand that the updated version may not have been what you expected based on the original listing, and we accept that this caused disappointment. That is why we offered to resolve the issue directly with you.

Eirin Apparel is based in Belfast and we do not operate as a dropshipping business. We also do not claim that every product or component is manufactured in Ireland. The Belfast Crown range is Irish-inspired, with styling and branding built around Irish identity, heritage and everyday wear.

Regarding the product page, we regularly update product names, descriptions and pages as ranges are refined. That does not mean we were attempting to mislead you, and we had already explained the product update in our direct communication.

We’re sorry the cap did not meet your expectations. If you would like us to review the matter further, please reply to our email thread and we’ll continue from there.

Lacking quality.

I ordered two caps. I would not say they are “quality” as I have bought better. They have an elastic expander around the hat to adapt for size. I don’t think that they are made in Ireland, although the company state that they are designed there. All in all, I am not really happy with them, and I wouldn’t advise purchase if you are looking for quality. I may yet return them. Not a good experience and will not purchase again!

Having just received a reply from the company, many weeks after the review, I feel that this shows their lack of Customer Care and concern. No mention of manufacturing base, just accepting that they may be returned. Their offer of helping with the return process is not good Customer Service. This tells me that their products are "Not Quality!"

Hi Joanne,

We’re sorry to see this review.

For clarity, tracking was provided with your order, and we did not receive any communication from you about a delivery issue before a chargeback was submitted almost a month after the order was placed.

Once the chargeback was raised, we contacted you multiple times to try to resolve the matter directly, but we did not receive a reply.

We also provided the relevant evidence through the chargeback process, including proof of posting and delivery information.

We take delivery issues seriously and always ask customers to contact us directly first so we can investigate with the carrier and help resolve the matter properly.

Hi Alan

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your order.

We do need to clarify that the product photos used on our website are photos of the actual cap being sold. We do not use unrelated imagery to advertise one product and then send a different item.

That said, caps can sometimes arrive slightly creased or compressed from being packed and delivered. This is why we include a care note with the order explaining that the cap will usually shape out naturally with wear, or can be lightly steamed to help restore its shape.

We understand that the item did not meet your expectations, and you are of course welcome to return it in line with our returns policy if it is unworn and in the condition received.

However, we do not accept the claim that this is false advertising. The item supplied is the cap shown in the product listing, and we are happy to review any genuine issue directly if a customer contacts us with their order details.

Thanks for your review.

We’re sorry to hear you feel this way, but we’d like to clarify a few points for accuracy.

Your order was dispatched in good time, and we also provided proof of postage confirming that the parcel was handed over to the courier. Once a parcel enters the postal network, the delivery itself is unfortunately outside of our direct control.

We did respond to your messages and kept you updated, explaining that deliveries from Ireland to the UK can occasionally take longer as they are treated as international shipments and can be subject to customs processing and courier delays.

We always aim to help resolve issues when they arise and are happy to assist customers with replacements or refunds where appropriate once courier investigations are completed.
