Why the Type of Clothes Hangers You Use Actually Matters

Unless you work in the fashion, retail clothing, or home organization business, there’s a good chance you don’t give much thought to the type of clothes hangers you use.

We use clothes hangers every day and stand to benefit from storing our apparel in the best manner possible. That’s why it’s actually rather curious that we mostly don’t pay much attention to what kind of hangers are in our closets.

So why is this the case? You might be surprised to learn that it does actually matter what type of clothes hangers you use.

Most clothes hangers are cheap and readily available

The main reason clothes hangers probably don’t quite get the consideration they should is because they’re typically very cheap and easy to come by.

Yes, that 12-pack of plastic hangers that only costs a buck at the dollar store might seem like a great deal today. You probably know they won’t be the best quality, but they’re only clothes hangers, right?

And all those free wire hangers you’ve gotten from your dry cleaner over the years? Well, why throw out a perfectly functional item?

However, it’s worth pondering this – just what kind of quality can those hangers possibly have if the dry cleaner is just giving them away all the time?

The truth is, there’s a downside to buying and using cheap hangers instead of relying on a higher quality type, like wood clothes hangers.

The downsides of using plastic clothes hangers

Everyone has had to throw out some of their plastic clothes hangers at some point. While they may be cheap, plastic hangers have several downsides:

• they’re flimsy and have a shorter life (a reminder that “cheap” also equals “disposable” much of the time)
• aren’t ideal for maintaining the shape of your garments, which shortens the lifespan of clothing
• are more prone to clothes slippage
• you’re more likely to have many colours and styles of plastic hangers, which creates a disorganized, mismatched closet look

The downsides of using wire clothes hangers

Wire hangers share some of the same downsides as plastic hangers and have a unique additional downside. The downsides include:

• their pliability causes wire hangers to bend, which reduces their lifespan
• also don’t provide an ideal long-term storage method when it comes to maintaining garment shapes
• will rust, which shortens their life and can damage clothing
• are also more prone to clothes slipping off the hanger

So as you can see, wire and plastic hangers may be readily available and cheap, but that comes at the expense of the best interests of your clothing.

Why premium wood clothes hangers are your best option

Aside from plastic and wire hangers, velvet hangers are an additional option that have their own benefits. But when it comes to hanging storage for your clothing, premium wood hangers are your best choice. Here’s why:

• they’re much sturdier and won’t bend, which keeps your garment structure intact
• will last a lifetime, which provides better value
• have a stronger design, which allows for storage of heavier items like winter coats, jackets, and jeans
• look much nicer than wire and plastic hangers
• offer special design features like notches that keep clothing with straps secured
• your garments are less likely to slip off the hanger or wrinkle

Are all wood clothes hangers created equal?

Definitely not. A set of wood clothes hangers being sold at your local store for a tantalizing low price might be better than the thin, flimsy wire hangers you’re currently using, but beware.

Both the wood and design quality are the key factors you need to be concerned with. Logically, a harder wood used in the clothes hanger’s construction will provide better strength and durability.

At Organized Interiors, we believe our premium cherry and white hardwood hangers are the best clothes hangers you can invest in. Here’s what they feature:

Maximize the life of your garments with wood clothes hangers

Our premium hardwood clothes hangers work well for all types of garments and will help you get the most life out of them by providing an ideal storage solution for your clothes.

High-end clothing items (such as an evening gown or men’s formal wear) can cost into the thousands of dollars, so you need to protect your investment. Even a relatively cheaper $100 blouse deserves a suitable hanging home to ensure you’re getting your money’s worth out of it.

Keep your closet or dressing room’s look classy with wood clothes hangers

The mismatched colours of a closet filled with plastic hangers doesn’t add to the space’s aesthetics. Neither does the nondescript look of a bunch of wire hangers.

Limit your clothes hanger clutter by saying “no thanks”

After years of buying clothes and getting your dry cleaning done, it’s inevitable that clothes hanger clutter will become just one more thing you’ll eventually have to contend with.

You can minimize or eliminate this problem by simply saying “no thanks” when presented with the option of bringing a free wire or plastic hanger home. The salesperson or dry cleaner certainly won’t mind.

It’s a small gesture and the impact on your carbon footprint by rejecting hangers you don’t really need may be minimal, but every little bit helps.

Your old useable wire and plastic hangers might be welcome at a thrift store. Plastic hangers (without any metal) might also be recyclable in your blue box. Check your municipality’s recycling guidelines.

Plastic hangers come in a variety of shapes, styles and colors. Smooth, heavy-gauge tubular hangers are a great way to add color to your closet and are perfect for T-shirts, polo shirts, casual blouses and even jeans. Be sure to check the quality before you buy them. Many discount retailers sell hangers constructed from only 34 grams of plastic, compared to The Container Store's 48 grams. And some have seams that can snag clothes while ours are smooth and seamless. For strappy tops and dresses, look for hangers with notches. Hangers with clips work for skirts and pants.

Wooden hangers make a statement in any closet. And like plastic hangers, they come in a variety of styles for each type of clothing. Thick, curved hangers are best for tailored suits and jackets, as well as knits and sweaters, robes, and eveningwear. The curves of these hangers will protect the form of the garment and give heavier suits and jackets the support they need. Look for notched arms for hanging strappy tops and dresses. For skirts, look for wooden hangers with moveable clips. Hangers with trouser bars or clamps keep pants secure.

Non-slip hangers like our Premium Velvet Hangers are designed to keep garments from falling off, making them ideal for silky materials or strappy styles. Like plastic and wooden hangers, they come specifically designed to hold shirts, pants and skirts.

Metal 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're available in a variety of attractive finishes.

Acrylic Hangers give your closet the look of an upscale boutique. They come styled to hold everything from coats to skirts.

Available in a variety of sizes and styles, cedar 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.

Padded 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 Hangers are ideal for closets where space is at a premium or where access to the contents is limited. They hold multiple garments in a small amount of space.

Standard-sized adult hangers measure 17-18 inches. Our over-sized hangers measure 19" wide, giving more support to heavy coats or larger jackets. And our Petite hangers are specially sized to fit petite fashions.

Using hangers that are specifically designed for kids will prolong the life of the clothing. Larger adult-sized hangers may stretch out children's clothes. Kids' hangers often feature hooks and slots that are perfect for the loops on kids clothing or for storing accessories.
