    Just the other day, I learned that the “B” and “H” in B&H Photo Video stands for Beards and Hats. If you go to BeardsandHats.com it forwards you to B&H Photo Video.

    [Jason Jenkins] ” “B” and “H” in B&H Photo Video stands for Beards and Hats. “

    Oh. My. God… haha.

    I know quite a few people who’ve always called B&H “beards and hats” for years, but I’ve never called them that (certainly not in a forum) thinking that might be construed as anti-Semitic (the “B” and “H” are actually the initials of the couple who founded the place).

    With the forwarding link though, it’s good to know that apparently they have a sense of humor about it!

    Honestly, it never even crossed my mind that “Beard and Hats” might be considered anti-Semitic. I certainly don’t feel that way.

    I always assumed that B&H were the initials of the founders, but now I’d like to think they just had a sense of humor from the start!
