CANTERBURY
Canterbury started in 1904, deep in the Canterbury province of New Zealand, John Lane, Pringle Walker, & Alfred Rudkin started making woolen garments.
Before long, they were making uniforms for the Army during the First World War, & such was their reputation for tough, durable kit, the legendary New Zealand All Blacks rugby team asked them to produce a rugby kit to play in.
The rest as they say, is history:
Canterbury of New Zealand outfitted the New Zealand All Blacks team for over 75 years & is now the largest dedicated rugby brand in the world, partnering the South African, Australian, Irish, Scottish, & Japanese national teams & a host of leading club sides including
European Champions London Wasps
