I agree entirely, and I like your spectrum, however...
"A haberdasher is a person who sells small articles for sewing, such as buttons, ribbons, zips, and other notions" [1]
A hatmaker is a "milliner".
I know that these two ancient and noble professions are frequently confused in modern English speech, but it's rather like saying "designer" when you mean "developer"...
