Size M.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanterbury was founded in 1904\u003c\/strong\u003e by John Lane, Pringle Walker and Alfred Rudkin, in the New Zealand province they named it after. The logo is three kiwi birds forming the letters CCC - Canterbury Clothing Company - one bird for each founder. They made military uniforms in the First World War before taking on the All Blacks kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shirts are built for the game rather than for the look of it: heavy cotton, a rubber-buttoned placket that will not come away in a scrum, and a twill collar stiff enough to stand up on its own. Canterbury later made shirts in a good many countries; this one carries the New Zealand label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name tape reads \u003cstrong\u003eC.T. LONGEWAY 60676\u003c\/strong\u003e. A name and a number together is how a school or a club laundry kept track of whose kit was whose, which means this shirt went through an institution and came out the other side with its owner still in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChest 40 in.
