Jockey heads into footwear sector with Eastman pairing

25/06/2015
After a long search for a “perfect partner”, US clothing brand Jockey is teaming up with the Eastman Group to offer footwear for the first time.

Founded in 1986, Eastman specialises in technical fabrics, which Jockey will use for its athleisure collections, after identifying a “void” for casual and durable footwear.

"We have found an ideal match with the Eastman Group, which has extensive knowledge of the footwear industry, to pair with Jockey's expertise in textile technology and comfort features," said Milou Gwyn, vice-president of licensing at Jockey.
