removed paragraph

This:

Today in Great Britain, Haberdashery shops are certainly a rare sight. However, KLEINS is an example of a long-established Traditional Specialist Haberdashery Business, that has been trading in London's Soho, since 1936. Also, John Lewis still offer a small selection of Haberdashery Products in some of their department stores.

seems rather like advertising to me, but I'm not sure whether it was intended as such. 81.174.226.229 (talk) 11:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

The Article says "In the US...." but the term has the same meaning in the UK. There used to be one just off Oxford Circus (London) which included "Haberdashers" in its name. John C Kay (talk) 23:56, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Notable...

Please discuss here why you believe the notable haberdashers should go or stay. Please do not add a 'Notable Haberdasher' that doesn't have their own Wikipedia page that at least mentions this fact. 157.127.124.15 (talk) 19:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Being British, I would use haberdashery in the sense of a provider of sewing utensils etc. rather than a producer of men's wear. Are the "Notable haberdashers" in fact haberdashers in the first or the second sense? It is awkward having the same article deal with two different definitions. 84.144.77.49 (talk) 11:55, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Patron Saint

This was the only reference I could find to a patron Saint (which is not Louis IX but Saint Catherine). [1] 157.127.124.15 (talk) 17:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

That is the patron saint of the school not the Habberdashers in General.SADADS (talk) 20:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

ok

so let's get this right, we leave "Newman" up as a "notable haberdasher" on the actual article, BUT we remove my post on the DISCUSSION PAGE? you know what? forget it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.154.33 (talk) 07:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Hafurtask

Ok, in the article there is the word haprtask and said Icelandic. It is not. Hafurtask is. (See dictionaries) It means baggage or stuff (bric-à-brac). --194.144.212.210 (talk) 11:49, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Notables

That list makes absolutely no sense. I see several film actors, but have never heard of any of them being known for selling articles of clothing. More to the point, none of the wiki pages for those people mention them as doing so. This seems bogus. 24.166.211.194 (talk) 16:24, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. I actually burst out laughing when I first saw the list. Still, it's 2013 now, why the heck did/does it stand? Come on, this stuff can't be legit, can it? [confused] – ὁ οἶστρος (talk) 01:14, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, I have no idea who most of them are, or which meaning of haberdasher they're supposed to be associated with, or why. Get rid of anything without a decent specific citation. --Ef80 (talk) 16:34, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
