This vintage Boston Bruins hockey jersey was manufactured in Canada by Sandow Sporting Knit Inc. The garment is constructed from a 50 percent cotton and 50 percent rayon blend, which is a characteristic material for mid-century athletic sweaters. It features the classic black, gold, and white colorway with a traditional lace-up collar. The front of the jersey is adorned with a sewn-on spoked B logo patch, and the number 5 is applied to the reverse and both sleeves in yellow fabric patches. The interior collar retains the original manufacturer tag indicating a size Large 44-46. Sandow was a prominent supplier for various levels of hockey during the 1950s and 1960s. This item is unverified for game use and is being offered as a vintage fan or team-issue sweater. It is unsigned and does not include a certificate of authenticity or provenance.
