Bring a piece of Chicago retail history into everyday wear with this Marshall Field & Company cotton polo shirt. The name recalls the State Street store that grew from a dry goods business founded in 1852 and became a landmark shopping destination. Marshall Field joined the partnership in 1865, and his name became the company’s lasting identity in 1881. A thoughtful choice for longtime shoppers, Chicago history fans, and collectors drawn to the story behind a familiar department store name.
Marshall Field & Company began in Chicago in 1852 as Potter Palmer’s dry goods store, P. Palmer & Company. Marshall Field joined Levi Z. Leiter and Palmer in partnership on January 4, 1865; after Palmer withdrew in 1867, the business became Field, Leiter & Company. Field bought out Leiter in 1881, giving the company its lasting name. The store survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, reopening within weeks, and became a major State Street shopping destination. Its wholesale and retail operations expanded, and branch stores followed in the late 1920s. The business later acquired department stores in other regions, including Frederick & Nelson in 1929 and Halle Brothers in 1970. British-American Tobacco acquired the company in 1982; Dayton-Hudson bought it in 1990, followed by May Company in 2004 and Federated Department Stores in 2005. In 2006, the Marshall Field’s stores were renamed Macy’s. The State Street flagship, in the historic Marshall Field and Company Building, became a Macy’s flagship while retaining historic nameplates and fixtures.
