D Haberdashery is one of the shops in the Antique Row neighborhood in Tacoma. I honestly think I haven't been into many of these shops until our last visit there but also the businesses appear to get replaced relatively quickly if one closes giving some parts a unfamiliar feeling if you don't go there much. D Haberdashery was one shop I am pretty sure I haven't set foot into until recently. There is a great eclectic variety of vintage clothing here and other types of merchandise. Mainly dust collectors really but very intriguing all the same. The real human skull in the display window definitely grabs passersby's attention as you go past on the sidewalk. Not sure if that's for sale since it wasn't something I really wanted despite having a taste towards the macabre. Maybe "too real" I guess. But this shop is definitely worth diving into and checking out. Chances are very good here you may have something you'd want to purchase. read more

See all

This is a very well-curated vintage collection of a little bit of everything. Once upon a time, every antique shop and vintage clothing store was just like this. This is a gem--fair pricing for fair value items. You can find legitimate, affordable vintage pieces without breaking the bank. The owner, Deon is QUITE knowledgeable and will be more than happy to provide you with knowledge. DO pop in. read more

All of the above were fantastic. The owner is helpful, selection tops and value beyond compare.

Of all the amazing shops on Antique Row in Tacoma, D Haberdashery is THE BEST, and my undisputed favorite. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that the "D" stands for Dion, the dynamic, dignified, driven, distinguished and dependable dude who owns this venture. Let me tell you something else: Dion is no dilettante, and because of this he doesn't dither, but decisively directs the ongoing development of his deliriously decorous deeds--about which discretion is ill-advised. I remember Dion from years ago, when his shop was down in the sub-sub-basement of Sanford & Son's--a complex (a warren, one might even say) of antique stores spanning above and below ground, encompassing numerous store fronts. I still recall the first time I walked into his store, coming face to helmet with a full suit of Roman Centurion armor, complete with mohawk-y looking feathery stuff on the sagittal crest. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, after imagining myself on horseback (or rather BEING horseback, as I am a centaur (whose hind quarters are invisible)), THEN I perused the rest of the store. What I found was a stunning array of hats: bowlers, fedoras to make Humphrey Bogart or Dick Tracy nod with approval. Unfortunately, the much sought-after Victorian top hat I wanted was not there, but the fact that Dion even understood what I was looking for AND knew how to source it blew my mind. Dion is a person with whom you can discuss clothing and haberdashery with as if you were both Victorian gentlemen seeking the most authentic and expeditious manner of outfitting and assembling one's kit--whether that be for a gala, an expedition, or going on Grand Rounds. Back then, his store was tiny but packed to the gills. Now, it has been expanded, and brought into the light, where one can enter it directly from the street. Dion has excellent taste, and there are no "duds" and no junk is in his trunk(s) because of it. He has canes, helmets, capes, gas masks, numerous hats, one-of-a-kind hand-made vintage clothing, amazing button-up sweaters for either sex. But that's not all, not by a long shot! He has vintage leather pistol holsters, accordion-style box cameras, other odds and sods, ephemera, bags, satchels, ball gowns--and yes, gladiator and centurion-wear. Dion is more than a proprietor. Dion has a nose for the good stuff. He is THE source for costuming needs for high schools and theater groups, with direct connections near Hollywood to obtain the highest quality and most authentic clothing. He also happens to be a very helpful, kind, gregarious person, ready with a story, a recommendation or other assistance. If you don't find what you need in his shop, chances are that he can source. And if he can't, he'll at least try. I am so thankful that Dion's Haberdashery survived COVID and that he is prospering. Even if vintage clothing isn't your jam, the world needs more creative people who have vision operating stores and thriving as a counterbalance to the sterile hegemony forced upon us by the robber barons that control most of our "choices." In this world, Dion is a shining gem and a beacon of light. Thank you for being here, sir. I tip my (top) hat to thee! read more
