      History

      Crocodile Garments Limited was founded in Hong Kong in 1952 by Chan Shun and was originally known as the Lee Wah Man Shirt Factory. Specialising in making shirts, the company regularly showed at the annual Exhibition of Hong Kong Products in the 1950s and 1960s. Chan sold the business in 1987. The company's logo was an image of a crocodile and the word 'Crocodile' in a flowing script - it was registered as a trade mark from the 1950s, including in 1961 in New Zealand. The trade mark became subject to legal challenges in the 1990s worldwide with
      French company Lacoste (which also has the image of crocodile as a registered trade mark). The two companies settled in 2003 and Crocodile Garments changed their trade mark design as a result.
