Coopers Uptown

It all began back in 1876, when Samuel T. Cooper—a pioneer and retired preacher—decided to start making socks. With shopkeeper friends across the upper Midwest, Cooper discovered that many lumberjacks, working in cold, wet conditions, were in desperate need of durable wool socks. He decided to do something about it and opened his own knitting business. Eventually, his three sons joined the business and moved it here to Kenosha—in that historic brick mill (now Jockey headquarters) located right across the street. The rest, as they say, is history. So, relax and savor each moment at Coopers Uptown—your new (old) favorite, comfy place.
