Who makes hats?
Haberdashers sell hats and other furnishings for men. Milliners make hats and other goods for women. They are called milliners because their products used to come from Milan, [Italy] a town once famous for textiles, but no one can tell for sure how haberdashers got their name. (from blisstulle.com)
