What is a Boneteria?
There's lots of "...terias" in Mexico.
Panaderia, Carnaceria, Tapaceria, Zapateria, Joyeria, Fruiteria, etc., to name a few.
This trip we saw 2 or 3 signs for Boneteria's. What does a boneteria sell? 
The obvious answer is bones but that would be something like huesateria!
While we're on this subject, what other "....terias" are there to add to the list above?

Don't know what the Academia Real had in mind, but in Mexico
a BONETERIA is a tailor of men's clothing.
Webster's New World Spanish Dictionary calls it a "haberdashery".

Boy, I didn’t know bonnets were so popular in Baja. Just be careful about bees.
(Weird. The spell checker in a forum about Baja flags the word “Baja.”)

Could be, Dennis. I think it depends on whether or not they measure and make the clothing, or just stock men's haberdashery items, which would include
all manner of stuff.
