About this property

Cluett, Peabody & Company, Inc. once headquartered in Troy, New York, was a longtime manufacturer of shirts, detachable shirt cuffs and collars, and related apparel. It is best known for its Arrow brand collars and shirts and the related Arrow Collar Man advertisements (1907–1931). It dates, with a different name, from the mid-19th century and was absorbed by WestPoint Pepperell in the 1980s. The Arrow name is still licensed to brand men's shirts and ties. The company manufactured shirts and collars in a historic building at 123 First Street in Leominster, Massachusetts. The building was constructed in 1902 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
