Wolfhound & Elk Details

W&E are an Irish sportswear brand who do things differently and are proud of it. W&E believe that the production of sportwear should be entirely reconsidered so that it can be done in a more sustainable, ethical & environmentally responsible fashion. Going green does not mean compromising on quality or aesthetics. Our primary focus is on the sports jersey, an iconic product worn by millions of children and aspiring athletes across the planet. The traditional jersey is made almost exclusively from polyester, a high performance synthetic material derived from a chemical reaction involving coal, petroleum, air and water. Polyester is a plastic and is the third most used plastic across the globe after polyethylene and polypropylene. Is there an alternative to this virgin polyester?Wouldn't it be great if discarded plastic bottles could be up-cycled and made into fabric? What if, instead of ending up in landfills or polluting our oceans, they could be reused to make something people actually want? Well, they can and W&E use material that has been manufactured in such a way so that the resulting product looks, feels and performs as well as the virgin polyester.W&E believe in being fully transparent therefore W&E only use certified suppliers from Europe, ensuring that the source plastic is fully traceable and our carbon footprint is minimized. W&E also take care of the people who make our clothes which is why they are only manufactured within the E.U. by people who uphold the same values we do.W&E are also fully committed to supporting youth participation in sport, and are working with the underlying clubs, schools and organistations that are growing our country's pool of sporting talent. W&E strive to work with these organisations so that players and the environment can both be on a winning team!
