In Sicily there was an occupation called "zagarellaio", meaning a maker of string, ribbons, laces, and the like. Maybe Naples had the same word.

I believe it's metonymic, at least in Sicily.

Thank you both so much! So a dealer in mens clothing is what I found online after what you both suggest this profession.

Thank you both, it is very much appreciated! :)
