The coat is moderately long, silky, and of a red or chestnut colour. It requires frequent brushing to maintain its condition and keep it mat-free.  The undercoat is abundant in winter weather, and the top coat is fine. Their coats should also feather in places such as the tail, ears, chest, legs, and body. Irish Setters range in height from {{convert|24|to|28|in|cm}}, males weigh {{convert|65|to|75|lb|kg|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|55|to|65|lb|kg|abbr=on}}. The FCI Breed Standard for the Irish Setter stipulates males stand {{convert|23|to|26.5|in|cm}} tall, and females be {{convert|21.5|to|24.5|in|cm}} tall.
Irish Setters are deep chested dogs with small waists. An Irish Setter's life expectancy tends to be around 11 to 12 years.<ref>{{cite web|title=Breed Longevity Data|url=http://users.pullman.com/lostriver/breeddata.htm|website=Dog Longevity|first=Kelly M.|last=Cassidy|date=2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120515154436/http://users.pullman.com/lostriver/breeddata.htm|archive-date=2012-05-15|access-date=2012-06-27}}</ref>
