About the artwork

Leyendecker’s menswear advertising helped establish the recognisable Arrow Collar look. Here, the named shirt and collar brands connect the artwork with the history of fashion advertising rather than a purely decorative portrait. This product reproduces the advertisement for wall display; it is not an original drawing, an antique magazine page or an item of clothing. The 1920s date is retained without assigning an unverified exact year, publication issue or identity to the figures.

A tailored touch for your room

Imagine placing the print near a wardrobe or bookshelf, with warm wooden furniture, neatly folded fabrics and a favourite design book nearby. It can introduce an interest in historical tailoring without requiring the whole room to follow a period style. The recorded black, beige and grey palette offers a restrained starting point for coordinating surrounding accessories and other prints.

A smaller format can join an established gallery arrangement, while the larger option gives the Cluett advertisement a more prominent place. Pair it with the other Arrow Collar advertisement to build a shared artist-and-brand theme, or add Frank Leyendecker’s Vanity Fair cover to explore a different strand of vintage illustration. Barbier’s L’Énergie extends the period-fashion connection through another artist. Consider your available wall space and usual viewing distance before choosing your preferred size.

Pair it with

Continue the menswear advertising theme with J. C. Leyendecker’s Arrow Collar advertisement (1920s). Add Frank Leyendecker’s Vanity Fair cover (1915) for another period illustration, and George Barbier’s L’Énergie (1920s) to extend the fashion-led gallery with an Art Deco motoring scene.
