Since you've invested a small fortune on your wardrobe, it makes sense that you want to protect it. Go ahead and treat your closet to quality hangers that will help extend the life of your clothes. But with the wide variety of hangers available, how do you know which ones are right for you? Hangers have specific purposes. What you want to hang and where you plan to hang it is what you should consider when you're in the market for new hangers.

Tubular HangersHeavy-gauge, plastic tubular hangers are the backbone of any closet. These hangers are perfect for T-shirts, polo shirts, dress shirts and blouses. When you are refitting your closet, you should have several dozen tubular hangers to tackle these lighter items. It's very important to check the quality of the tubular hangers before you buy them. Many discount retailers sell hangers constructed from only 34 grams of plastic, compared to The Container Store's 52 grams. The 52 gram hanger will handle the weight of your garments and last much longer. |

Suit HangersThick, curved hangers are best for tailored suits and jackets, as well as knits and sweaters, robes, and eveningwear. Thicker hangers do not take up any extra space in a closet. In fact,it's the garment itself, by the nature of its tailoring, shape and padding, that needs the extra space. The curves of these hangers will protect the form of the garment and will give heavier suits and jackets the support they need. Suit hangers are available in wood or in plastic and come in a wide range of finishes and colors. |

Cedar HangersAvailable in a variety of sizes and styles, these hangers can be used instead of wooden or plastic coat/suit hangers when pests such as moths, or moisture is a problem. Cedar is a natural pest repellent and works to absorb excess moisture. |

Metal HangersMetal hangers are not only strong and durable, but they make a chic addition to the coat closet, the office reception room or the guest closet. They come in a variety of finishes – brass, chrome and brushed aluminum. |

Commercial Quality HangersThese unbreakable hangers are designed for durability and easy organization within your closet. Similar to the hangers you see in department stores, you can use these to group outfits together, thanks to the small hook on each hanger that allows you to connect them together. |
|
Padded HangersPadded hangers are a great option for delicate knits or evening wear and are available in a variety of attractive colors. Our padded hangers are unique because the padding is wrapped all around the hanger, not just on the top. Use padded hangers to pamper special outfits, jackets and even costumes! |

Multiple & Tiered HangersThese hangers are ideal for closets where space is at a premium (i.e. dorm rooms) or where access to the contents is limited. The add-on hanger features a hook that allows you to hang multiple garments in a fraction of the space. The swinging arms of the slack hanger and the skirt hanger make it easy to retrieve the garment you want. Hold the blouse tree parallel to the ground to easily remove a shirt. |

Oversized Suit HangerStandard-sized adult hangers measure 17-18 inches. Our oversized suit hanger is 19" wide, giving more support to the form of plus-sized garments. We also have a plastic oversized 19" shirt and dress hanger that's perfect for loose fitting garments or items with a drop-shoulder. |

Clamp HangerUse the longer 11" clamp hanger to hang skirts from the waist or the shorter 10" to hang pants securely from their cuffs – all without leaving marks or wrinkles! |
|
Children's HangersUsing hangers that are specifically designed for small folks will prolong the life of the clothing. Larger adult-sized hangers may stretch out children's clothes. Many times, children's hangers have little hooks and slots that are perfect for the loops on kid's clothing or for storing accessories like bows, ties or ribbons. Our children's hangers are available in a variety of styles - wooden, plastic and padded. |

Blanket & Comforter HangerThis hanger allows you to store large linens or bulky quilts without having to fold or stuff them into a drawer. The large hook-style arm works well for neat storage of bulkier comforters, blankets and sleeping bags. |
