A hanger is a hanger is a hanger, right? Actually, no. When it
comes to your specific needs, its important to choose exactly the right
hanger.
1. Style: Contoured or flat?
What is most important to you space or presentation? If
presentation of the garment is most important, choose the contour hanger. If
you need to save space, choose flat hangers.
Contour hangers are anatomically correct and help clothes hold
their shape most effectively.
Flat hangers save space while still providing nice
presentation.
2. Usage: Are you selling shirts, pants, skirts, jackets or suits?
If you are simply hanging shirts, blouses or jackets, a basic
hanger will work for you.
A suit consisting of a jacket with pants requires a hanger
with a pant bar. Contour hangers usually have locking bars and flat hangers
usually have fixed bars.
3. Size: What size hangers do you need?
Standard 1/2" thick hangers are perfect for almost any size
clothes. Thick hangers that are one inch thick or larger are great for heavier
robes, jackets and coats.
Hanger width varies as well.
-
Infant and small childrens clothes fit best on 11 hangers
-
Clothing for young children fits best on 13 contour or 14 flathangers
-
Older childrens clothing (medium and large), young men and womens clothing,
and clothing for missy and petite women fit best on 15.5 contour or 16.5 flat
hangers
-
16.5: flat or 17 contour hangers are versatile great for most mens and
ladies styles
-
18.5 contour hangers usually work best for XL sizes and mens suits
Also, consider the width of the shoulders of your particular
garment. The hanger should not be so large that it stretches the shoulders, but
shouldnt let them "droop" either. The right sized hanger helps maintain the
original shape of the garment.
Be sure to check the matching hanger options at the bottom of
each hanger detail page for ideas on how to combine hangers for a look that
really appeals to your customers!

and can compliment your interiors to create a memorable experience for your
