To our loyal customers,
At CCS we have enjoyed designing and producing quality products for nearly 3 decades. Knowing that our tarps, packs, and custom canoe covers have helped make your wilderness trips more enjoyable gives us great satisfaction.
Many of you know that this business is run from our home in addition to other full time jobs. We can't do it alone, and have relied on many talented individuals over the years. This may be starting to sound like a "goodbye" letter, but it's not that at all. We do have to scale back quite a bit.
I am having hip replacement surgery this fall, which will involve a lengthy recovery. To prepare, I hope to spend the coming months catching up on orders, spending time with my family and maybe a canoe trip or two! To accomplish this, we will be taking Fridays and Sundays off and will no longer accept orders for canoe covers or other custom work until further notice.
Stock items will continue to be produced, but orders may take 4-6 weeks or longer. Email us at dancooke@cookecustomsewing,com to confirm availability.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. We hope to continue providing quality gear for many years to come.

Wind,
rain, or changing weather conditions, standing waves, or
extended trips; these are all situations where a quality
canoe cover can make the difference. More than just protecting
your gear, a canoe cover will give you greater paddling
control and efficiency due to less wind resistance.
CCS has been creating custom canoe covers for about 25 years
in a variety of styles to suit your needs. To help us meet
your needs, take time to reflect on the type of paddler
you are and any specific situations you may encounter.
For a list of boats CCS has already made skirts for and will
not require a new pattern, see our interactive
chart.
