Clothes Horse

We drove by a store in Vermont called the “Clothes Horse.”  It was a women’s clothing store and it’s clever name made us smile.

But then we asked the obvious question: What is a clothes horse?  I thought it was a coat rack for storing clothes.  Nurit thought it was a person who over dressed.

I looked it up.  It turns out we were both right.  It can be a place for storing clothes or a “fop.”  Perhaps a store called Fop?
