Arrow “A SPARK OF INGENUITY”

AN AMERICAN INNOVATION
Before the washing machine, shirts had to be scrubbed and starched by hand. This was an arduous process. In 1820, Hannah Montague had an idea. She detached her husband’s collars from his work shirts, which allowed her to launder the collars separately.

400 VARIETIES OF STYLE
The ARROW brand at one time offered as many as 400 different styles of detachable collars. However, even as detachable collars fell out of fashion after WWI, ARROW continued to innovate and offer its “Authentic American Style.After all these years, we are proud that we continue to offer the classic and authentic American style which made ARROW famous”.
