COOKSON & CLEGG

Cookson & Clegg were 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... Over its 150 year history Cookson & Clegg has gone from producing leather products to manufacturing some of the world's most robust, functional and iconic pieces of clothing. From WWII battle dress to cold war era arctic wear we have built our reputation upon the quality of the clothes we produce... If you have an existing pattern that you would like to use we provide a simple digitisation and grading service.
