COOKSON & CLEGG CLOTHING LTD

Cookson & Clegg was founded in Blackburn in 1860. The firm began as leather curriers and manufacturers of boot uppers. By the 1930’s they were producing jerkins, flying helmets and other leather products for the British Army. Throughout the later part of the 20th century Cookson & Clegg were a major supplier of military outerwear, legwear and other sewn products to the British Army and other armed forces. Today the firm employs those same skills essential in the production of military grade clothing and applies them to the manufacturing of outerwear, in both traditional woven and modern technical fabrics, jeans and chino’s for many of the UK’s finest premium clothing brands. The factory has capacity to produce up to 2,000 garments per month. Cookson & Clegg has completed recent audits for Marks & Spencer and Burberry.
