haberdasheries
Sewing supply stores
Haberdasheries is the plural of haberdashery, which has two distinct meanings depending on region.
In American English, a haberdashery is a shop selling men's clothing and accessories—hats, ties, shirts, and the like: The old haberdasheries on Main Street have mostly closed.
In British English, it refers to a shop selling sewing supplies: needles, thread, buttons, ribbons.
The word has an old-fashioned quality in both uses.
