Hood Jeans are a small, family company based in Norfolk, England. Chris set up the company in 1999 but the roots of Hood Jeans go back a lot further. His father started his working life with Lee Cooper in the late 1950’s before leaving to help set up Falmer Jeans. In the 1960’s he started his own company, this was called Motown Jeans and was based in Essex. This is where Chris and Julie first met before leaving in 1994 to set up their own company. They spent the next few years designing jeans for major high street names before being asked by a motocross team to design their race kit. They were given such fabrics as Cordura, Ballistic Nylon and Kevlar to use within the kit and gained much knowledge of their strengths. They did this for two years before combining these new fabrics with their background of denim jeans and the seed for Hood Jeans was planted. They developed these ideas over the next couple of years before launching the Hood Jeans label in 2000. The K7 Jean was launched in 2001 and has become one of the best motorcycle jeans on the market. The K7 name is a tribute to Donald Campbell, a true British hero. Over the next few years we have added the K7 Jacket, Cargo Jean, Army Green, Camo and the H2 Jean and ND4 Jean to the range. | Our business philosophy is to produce a very good product, to only sell direct cutting out the middle men and keeping our overheads low. This means we can sell our jeans at a reasonable price. We enjoy the size of our company and the personal touch this allows. We would like to thank all of our customers for their custom and encouragement, their support has helped us to become the successful company we are today.
