__NOTOC__ thumb| Haberdashers (notions shop) in Dover, UK
In British English, a haberdasher is a business or person who sells small articles for sewing, dressmaking and knitting, such as buttons, ribbons and zips; in the United States, the term refers instead to a men's clothing store that sells suits, shirts, neckties, men's dress shoes and other items.
