Description
Advertising poster for Cluett Peabody & Company’s Arrow Collar brand. This brand mainly produced shirts and collars. But this poster also mentions women’s dresses.
At the beginning of the 20th century, it was fashionable for men to wear a separate collar to their shirts, especially among the new class of office workers. Since then, the phrase “white collar” appeared, which is what office workers are called today.
