Vintage 1950's Tank Top R.C.A.F. Camp Borden — Vintage Military
Product Details
Vintage R.C.A.F. Camp Borden Athletic Tank — #7, Garner's Sports Rare mid-century athletic tank top from R.C.A.F. Camp Borden, Ontario — the historic birthplace of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Black body with gold ringer trim at the neck and armholes, bold gold R.C.A.F. Camp Borden graphic across the chest, and a felt/chenille number 7 applied on the back. Tagged Garner's Sports — Barrie, a Barrie, Ontario sporting goods maker. Era: Vintage, likely mid-century (construction and tagging consistent with 1940s-60s athletic wear) Material: Cotton/wool blend knit jersey Details: Ringer trim, chest graphic, applied felt numbering Provenance: R.C.A.F. Camp Borden — significant Canadian military/aviation history site Condition: Vintage, worn. The felt 7 numbering on the back has notable fraying/deterioration (visible in close-up photos) with some loss of the felt material — this is an honest aging issue typical of applied felt numbering from this era, not damage from misuse. Fabric shows expected softness and fading from age.
