Yesterday, I ate at the El Sombrero restaurant in St. Robert, Missouri. In Springfield, we have a chain of alcoholic beverage stores where the stores are called, "Brown Derby". (BTW, BassPro Shops started as a few fishing lures in Brown Derby.)

Do you know of any businesses which are not clothing stores that are named after articles of clothing?

There used to be a casino in Vegas called the Silver Slipper.

I have since my first post remembered that there was a bar in Rolla, Missouri, named "The Top Hat Lounge".

Goes the other way too. The Tuxedo Lounge in New York lent its name to an entire style of dress.

In Fort Wayne, Indiana, is a Hooters-style establishment called the Twisted Kilt, which features leggy women as waitresses in short skirts and revealing blouses. Not that I have ever personally witnessed this.
