draper
Sells textile goods
A draper is someone who sells cloth and fabric, or in broader British usage, dry goods like clothing and textiles.
The term is old-fashioned in American English but persists in British contexts and in the surname: The draper measured out three yards of silk.
A draper's shop was once a common fixture in town centers. (Capitalized Draper is a surname or place name.)
