The business was originally founded in 1943 by George Horn who had moved to Ireland from the UK where he had been a glove cutter with Dents. The factory was originally based in Ashtown, with a second factory in Mount Charles Co. Donegal. When the factory burnt down in 1972, George and his son Brian continued to make gloves at a new premises on Prussia Street in Dublin 7. Brian continued making gloves here until the early 2000s. In 2013 Brian who was joined by his son Gerard and they began to work on reopening the company. It took nearly five years to build up the machinery and materials necessary to do so, but they achieved this in 2018 and have been manufacturing leather gloves again since then.
