Lee Cooper is a British denim company

Lee Cooper is a British denim company. The company was founded in 1908 by Morris Cooper as an overalls manufacturer. The company then manufactured fatigues during both World Wars. After World War II, the company began manufacturing jeans as leisure wear.
Lee Cooper traces its roots to the production of overalls and workwear. Jeans were strictly for workman in the first three decades of the century. In 1908, Morris Cooper created a workwear production company in his own name. By the 1910s, 600 people were employed in the Morris Cooper factory in London, producing workwear clothing from durable and versatile fabrics for various trades. Popular at the time were the Bib-and-Brace overalls.
