Brothers Charlie and Oliver Jennings are the faces behind streetwear brand Terrasskläder. Their latest clothing drop launches an original football shirt made from sustainably sourced materials.
The shirt that feels as good on a five-a-side pitch as it does on the street. When you pick it up, it’s almost weightless. The material is soft, light, airy, as if it’s been designed not just to be worn, but to be lived in.
For Charlie and Oliver, brothers and founders of Terrasskläder, this football shirt is more than just a piece of clothing. It’s a statement. Not only is it a challenge to the fast fashion industry, it’s a love letter to the game they grew up playing. Charlie made his and his brothers vision become a reality:
“We wanted something that looks premium but is made with real purpose.
“Every inch of this shirt is thought through, sustainable, ethical, and built to last.”
In the heart of Leeds, the Terrasskläder brand was born from a shared idea between two brothers. Their mission was straightforward yet unique: to craft high-quality clothing using sustainably sourced materials.
“The inspiration behind starting the company was really to be able to provide high quality clothing at a reasonable price, while ensuring we are working with suppliers that produce with sustainable materials and care for the environment.”
Since they started trading, the growing business Terrasskläder made sure every sale that came from their online store resulted in a tree being planted elsewhere in the world.
When asked about why the brand goes out of their way to do this, Charlie was keen to discuss his own views on the fast fashion industry:
“I think making the brand environmentally sustainable was a no brainer for me really. We all know that the industry is being dominated by these fast fashion giants, just look at brands like BooHoo, Shien and PrettyLittleThings. They sell thousands upon thousands of products a day and leave chaos in their wake environmentally.
“My thought was that if I was gonna have any output onto the world, it needed to be a positive one. Going the extra step to ensure these trees are being planted and that we are fair trade was at the core of our decision as brothers.”
Years before the ideas of the football shirt came along, the two brothers launched ‘The Creators Club’ alongside the business. Simply buy a product from the site and you would be welcomed into a family of like-minded, motivated creators.
“Selling the first wave of staple pieces, the hoodies and shirts, started our own community. From that point we knew what we were building… a brand for the people.”
When it came to the football shirt Oliver headed up the design process. Working as a freelance graphic designer he supported Charlie with refining designs and finding suitable suppliers.
“I have loved every minute of working with my brother on this shirt. Pushing Charlie and even myself out of our comfort zones, watching products sell live from our laptops… It’s been a mad journey so far.”
The shirt is a striking blend of heritage and modern sustainability. The Dark base gives it a sleek, timeless look, while gold detailing adds a sense of prestige and nostalgia, reminiscent of classic European kits from the ‘90s.
The loose-fitting collar is a really subtle nod to vintage football aesthetics, structured enough to frame the neckline, yet relaxed for comfort. It fits the wearer effortlessly, avoiding the stiffness of traditional high-performance kits. Instead, it offers a lived-in feel, perfect for both the pitch and everyday wear.
Crafted from recycled ocean plastics and organic cotton, the fabric is lightweight and breathable.
“This is by far my favourite piece from all of our drops so far, just look at it, it’s a statement. This one isn’t just for match days and the odd kick about with the lads, you can wear this to most social gatherings.”
When discussing the future of the Brand, both brothers were optimistic about their plans, while also making it clear they do not plan on rushing onto the next big thing..
Charlie, who has just finished his business degree talked about how he is taking some time away from doing consistent clothing drops to refine the brand’s image.
“Looking forward with the brand, to be honest, both me and Oliver are wanting to take a small break. It’s been a long journey to get where we are right now, balancing the business with my degree. That being said, there is always something brewing, something on the back burner…
“We are gonna come back with a bulletproof addition to our already existing collection of products.
“That is what our customers, our creators club… deserve.”
