Brooks Brothers still produces this style of button-down "polo shirt". Still, like early tennis clothing, those clothes presented a discomfort on the field. In 1920, Lewis Lacey, a Canadian (born of English parents in Montreal, Quebec in 1887) haberdasher and polo player, began producing a shirt that was embroidered with an emblem of a polo player, a design originating at the Hurlingham Polo Club near Buenos Aires. The definition of the uniform of polo players – the polo shirt and a pair of white trousers – is actually a fairly recent addition to the sport.

The play Catherine and Petruchio condenses Shakespeare's play into three acts. Much of the plot is also similar; Petruchio vows to marry Catherine before he has even seen her, she smashes a lute over the music tutor's head, Baptista fears no one will ever want to marry her; the wedding scene is identical, as is the scene where Grumio teases her with food; the haberdasher and tailor scene is very similar; the sun and moon conversation, and the introduction of Vincentio are both taken from Shakespeare. The Christopher Sly frame is also entirely absent. However, much of Shakespeare's original dialogue is preserved, particularly when Petruchio discusses taming strategies.
In June 1613, a man named John Lane, Jr., 23, accused Susanna of adultery with a Rafe Smith, a 35-year-old haberdasher, and claimed she had caught a venereal disease from Smith. As a notable Puritan of the community, Hall supported the Puritan vicar, Thomas Wilson, against whom Lane would later participate in a riot, and it is possible that Lane's charges had political motives in defaming Susanna. On 15 July the Halls brought suit for slander against Lane in the Consistory court at Worcester. Robert Whatcott, who three years later witnessed Shakespeare's will, testified for the Halls, but Lane failed to appear.

Truman arrived at Wake Island on 15 October, where he was greeted on the tarmac by MacArthur, who had arrived the day before. MacArthur shook hands with the President rather than salute, and declined an offer to stay for lunch with the President which Bradley considered "insulting". This did not bother Truman; what did annoy the President, a former haberdasher, was MacArthur's "greasy ham and eggs cap that evidently had been in use for twenty years." The meeting, which had no agenda and no structure, took the form of a free-wheeling discussion between the President and his advisors on one hand, and MacArthur and the CINCPAC, Admiral Arthur Radford, on the other.

Graham got forty-one prominent citizens to write letters to the auditorium's owner, a haberdasher named Harry Shifs, and Shifs gave him a three-year lease at five hundred dollars a month ... [T]he hippie community ... has turned out to be something the man from Montgomery Street can point to with pride, in a left-handed way, and say 'these are our boys'", stated Jerry Garcia.Politics Observations & Arguments (1966–2004) by Hendrik Hertzberg. Penguin Press: New York (2004). pp. 8–9.
The Moray Minstrels were an informal gathering of notable men involved in London society and the arts, including painters, actors and writers, who were mostly amateur musicians. They would meet for musical evenings at Moray Lodge, in Kensington, the home of Arthur James Lewis (1824-1901), a haberdasher and silk merchant (of the firm Lewis & Allenby), who married the actress Kate Terry in 1867.Gielgud, p. 5; and "Arthur James Lewis, 1824-1901", The Correspondence of James McNeill Whistler, University of Glasgow, accessed 15 June 2013 The Minstrels would discuss the arts, smoke and sing part-songs and other popular music at monthly gatherings of more than 150 lovers of the arts; their conductor was John Foster.
The bath Corsham Court was built in 1582 by Thomas Smythe, a haberdasher and customs collector for the City of London. In 1745 the estate was bought by Paul Methuen, grandson of another wealthy cloth merchant. Dying unmarried in 1757, the house passed to his cousin, another Paul, who in 1761 employed Capability Brown to make major alterations to the court and to landscape the grounds. Brown's main focus was the reconstruction of the house, in particular the building of a picture gallery to accommodate the large number of paintings Methuen had inherited from his cousin, but during his time at Corsham, Brown undertook the construction of the bath house to the north of the court.
During World War II, a mild-mannered Slovak carpenter Anton "Tóno" Brtko is offered ownership of the sewing notions i.e. haberdasher store of an old, near-deaf Jewish woman, Rozália Lautmannová, as an Aryanization regulation is enacted. As Brtko attempts to explain to Lautmannová, who is oblivious to the world outside and generally confused, that he is now her supervisor and the owner of the store, Imrich Kuchár, a Slovak opponent of Aryanization, informs Brtko that the business is unprofitable and Lautmannová relies on donations. The Jewish community then offers to pay Brtko a salary if he nevertheless stays in charge, to prevent it being given to a new, possibly ruthless Aryanizer.
Much of the plot is also similar; Petruchio vows to marry Catharine before he has met her, she smashes a lute over the music tutor's head, Baptista fears no one will ever want to marry her; the wedding scene is identical, as is the scene where Grumio teases her with food; the haberdasher and tailor scene is very similar. At the end, however, there is no wager. Catharine makes her speech to Bianca, and Petruchio tells her, The play ends with Catharine stating "Nay, then I'm unworthy of thy Love,/And look with Blushes on my former self." Petruchio then directly addresses the audience, using some of the unused lines from Katherina's final speech.
The Naum Theater and the Jardin des Fleurs Hotel were previously located at the modern site of Avrupa Pasajı, but these buildings were burned along with many others during the Great Beyoğlu Fire of 5 June 1870. After the fire, architect Pulgher developed a neoclassical shopping arcade project for the cleared area and this project was built by the Ottoman Armenian merchant Onnik Düz in 1874. Initially the arcade was illuminated by gas lamps placed in front of its famous mirrors, giving rise to its other name "Aynalı Pasaj". In the early years shops in the arcade included a shoemaker, two hairdressers, two tailors, a grocery store, a haberdasher, two soap-makers and a carpet seller.
Most stories involve hats being awarded to any of the local players who scored three goals in a game. According to the NHL, in the 1940s, a Toronto haberdasher used to give free hats to players with the Toronto Maple Leafs when they scored three goals in a game. Montreal hatter Henri Henri makes a similar claim, that between 1950 and 1970 they would reward any NHL player who scored three or more goals in a game at the Montreal Forum with a free hat. Finally, in the 1950s, the Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters of the Ontario Hockey Association, who were then a farm team of the NHL's New York Rangers, were sponsored by Guelph- based Biltmore Hats, a leading manufacturer of hats with North American dominance.
From inception the school offered boarding facilities, in the home of Mr Ham, conveniently situated directly across the road from the schoolhouse. In 1864, a dispute regarding financial support for the school by the district council, led to the abrupt closure of the school by Mr Ham and he ceased teaching in order to open a general store in the town. Boys returning from their holiday in July 1864 discovered that their school house had been let to another tenant and their schoolmaster had become a haberdasher. Public concern was such that a committee was formed, which decides that St Michael's Grammar School should assume the mantle of Prospect House Academy by accepting the status of a government-aided school.

His name appears in the list of admissions to Gray's Inn on 1 August 1619. He resided at Oxford for some years after taking his bachelor's degree, and contributed to the poems written at Christ Church on the visit of James I to that college in 1605. On 13 December 1610, he succeeded George Montaigne as divinity professor at Gresham College.
William Adams (15851661) was a 17th-century London haberdasher born in Newport, Shropshire who, in 1656, founded Adams' Grammar School, now called Haberdashers' Adams. Since his death in 1661, the school has been governed by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. In addition to the school, William Adams founded William Adams’ Eleemosynary Charity which built the almshouse cottages on the high street in Newport, on either side of the original school gates and on property surrounded by the school. Tables representing the Will of William Adams hang in the 'Big School' building of Haberdashers' Adams Grammar School, and the copying of these texts (known as Bill's Will) was a common punishment for minor misdemeanours up until the end of the twentieth century.
He developed an interest in botany and horticulture as a child, and by his teenage years was friends with some of the most eminent botanists, horticulturists and landscapers of the day, including; Philip Miller, keeper of the Chelsea Physic Garden, Philip Southcote, a leading pioneer of landscape design, and Peter Collinson, the Quaker haberdasher turned horticulturist who was to remain a lifelong friend and colleague. In 1727, when he was 14, he received, as a Christmas gift from Ralph Howard, one of his mother's suitors, a specially made pruning knife and saw, which, it is recorded, was "well taken". Robert's interest in botany and horticulture was practical as well as academic. By 1729, it seems that, at least in part, he had taken over the management of his grandmother's gardens at Thorndon.
John T. Shayne & Company, a Chicago-based hatter, haberdasher and furrier was founded on November 6, 1884, by John Thomas Shayne (born August 26, 1852) an importer/manufacturer, civic leader and Democratic politician. The firm was formally incorporated on May 23, 1899, and held the distinction of being "the largest business of its kind outside of New York City." The store was first located at 187-189 South State Street in the Chicago Loop (the city of Chicago's central business and shopping district) and later moved to the John Crerar Library building at 150 North Michigan Avenue where it remained until the department store ceased operations in 1979. At the time of its closing, Shayne's was a department store specializing in women's ready-to-wear, couture and furs.
He did not stay within his own trade, but began dealing in cloth and other goods as an 'interloper.' (Cosgrove is close to the old Roman road known as Watling Street, and the busy town of Stony Stratford). John would have witnessed traders travelling up and down the road to and from London, and this may have influenced his career plans. Nick Bunker, in 'Making Haste from Babylon - The Mayflower Pilgrims and Their World- A New History' (Pimlico: 2011) states that one of John's brothers was a haberdasher in London. John's uncle, another John Beauchamp, was a merchant in Amsterdam who left John 2000 guilders at his death in 1615, as well as some London house contents, and the management of a further 5,000 guilders for two years.

Bertram Cruger was an admirer of Cooper's wife Diana, the two having met in New York City: editorial footnote in The Duff Cooper Diaries 1915–1951, ed John Julius Norwich (2005), page 197. She informed Cooper in 1947, following a weekend in the country with Anthony Eden, at which the only other guest was the French Ambassador to Britain, that Eden "never stops trying to make love to her".Duff Cooper, diary, 24 November 1947: The Duff Cooper Diaries 1915–1951, ed John Julius Norwich (2005).
Working with noted architect Hoyte Johnson, she helped to evolve her home-place into a comfortable venue to share with her family, her friends, and nearby Huntingdon College. Her husband, Hal Holbrook referred to the home as having "feel" of the Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut, and that there is no other place to which he feels so ideally suited. Besides the grand "Music Room" addition, the house is surrounded with the talented works of her mother, Virginia (Ginna) who built the expert masonry fireplaces and mantels in the older parts of the house, as well as the wooden guest house beneath the ancient Catalpa trees in the back yard. Her father, Halbert Carter (Hal) remains forever present in the books that line the back room walls and the tapestry of tales told by a once great haberdasher.

In 1613, William Jones, a prominent merchant and haberdasher, gave the Haberdashers’ Company £6,000, followed by a further £3,000 bequeathed in his will on his death in 1615, to "ordaine a preacher, a Free-School and Almes-houses for twenty poor and old distressed people, as blind and lame, as it shall seem best to them, of the Towne of Monmouth, where it shall be bestowed". Jones was born at Newland, Gloucestershire and brought up in Monmouth, leaving to make a sizeable fortune as a London merchant engaged in the cloth trade with the continent. The motivations for his bequest appear partly philanthropic and partly evangelical; the county of Monmouthshire in the early 17th century had a significant Catholic presence and the local historian Keith Kissack noted, "the priority given to the preacher illustrates [Jones's] concern to convert an area in the Marches which was still, when the school opened in 1614, strongly recusant". The order for the establishment of the school was made, retrospectively by James I in 1616 and decreed "for ever in the town of Monmouth, one almshouse and one free grammar school".
