The Arrow Collar Man
Posted by Rebekah Roy on December 15th, 2008

Fun fashion fact, courtesy of Canada’s National Post: the famous "Arrow Collar Man" from the early 1900’s, the picture of American male sophisticated style in advertising, was actually Charles Beach, a gay Canadian. Beach got more fan mail during the 1920’s than Rudolph Valentino.
