Peter Jackson & Sons Ltd was formed in 1985 in the village of Barkisland, in the heart of West Yorkshire — and has grown into one of the UK's leading names in heavyweight pile fabric.
From Bowers Mill, we've spent four decades building our name and reputation within the industry — becoming the name associated with quality manufacturing and supply of high-pile knitted fabrics.
That reputation was earned the slow way: consistently high standards, close attention to detail, and a willingness to work with customers on exactly what they need rather than only what's on the shelf. Today our fabrics are supplied nationwide and exported to over 40 countries around the world — with more than 500,000 square metres of veterinary bedding alone leaving the mill each year.
For generations Yorkshire has been the heart of British wool — its mills, waters and skilled hands shaped textile standards across Europe. Our expertise isn't imported or recreated elsewhere: it is inherited, practised and refined in the same landscape that has shaped British wool for centuries.
Our veterinary bedding range is the clearest proof of that approach — through care in how these products are made, Jackson Textiles has become the market leader in the category.
A fully integrated process under one roof at Bowers Mill — every stage controlled in-house, from fibre selection to finished fabric.
100% British wool in two grades, or recycled synthetic fibre — selected in collaboration with the customer and prepared for its end use, including domestic washing.
Fibres cut to bespoke lengths and carded on re-configured machinery, adapted to the performance, handle and structure the final application demands.
Fabric knitted by skilled operatives, with structure and tension adjusted to each customer's requirements for consistent, premium quality.
In-house shearing gives exact control over pile height, refined to meet defined comfort, performance and aesthetic expectations.
Controlled tumbling, guided by experience and applied only where required — developing texture and sherpa-style effects aligned with the end use.
Backings developed specifically for each product, ensuring stability, durability and performance without compromising fibre integrity.
Sales Director Philip Jackson and the team are always happy to discuss standard ranges, bespoke developments and trade partnerships.
