Jockey®

Jockey International continues to be a privately held company, headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jockey International, Inc. was founded in 1876 by Samuel T. Cooper, a retired minister who wanted to help lumberjacks suffering from blisters and infections caused by their shoddy wool socks. Consumers learned they could trust him, and his tiny hosiery business grew and then expanded into underwear. As the company has grown in size and sophistication, that simple commitment to serve their customers has continued to be their hallmark, and the secret of their success.
