Fedditers, it's coming up to my birthday and am wondering what your favourite coat hanger is? I'm done with the cheap plasticy ones and want invest in some classy coathangers

Just spend a fortune on nice wooden ones that are sturdy and a nice shade of fancy wood you like & never worry about hangers ever again. And make sure the hardware suits the fancy particular wood you choose. Don’t want a pine/gold (ick!) fiasco happening in that closet! Be sure to buy a couple hundred so you don’t run out!

If it were me I’d go like a nice dark walnut and anodized black hardware. That would look so stealthy and cool!

Or just do like I actually do and get free wooden ones off Facebook marketplace! Lol

I’m actually a fan of the plastic ones from ikea. They hold the shirts a bit higher and they push real close together.

This is what I did too. Wooden hangers are great!

From just reading the headline, I was a bit hesitant to open this post... We use the heaver-duty wire hangers since we don't have much closet space and can cram more in that way.

I do woodworking as a hobby and would be willing to sell some granted I was provided with dimensions and preferred materials.

Yeah the fancier the better OP! Get this guy to make you some real baller hangers ;)

Lmao I honestly didn't know people have wooden hangers. We just use the cheap plastic ones. But someone said something about wooden hangers and I do woodworking as a hobby so I thought; hey, I could probably make a hanger!

Honestly I never cared. But I always hated flimsy ones. If I can't bend it like a twist tie, its good enough for me.

So, no wire hangers, ever?

Man, if i could figure out how to insert a gif here, Mommie Dearest would be all up in this mess!

Yeah wasn't a fan of them, felt like if I pulled them hard enough they'd break and I'd need to fix them.

Jimmy from the coat-check booth at the club my grandfather used to bring me to. He was really nice.

I think the cheap wire ones are the best because they take up the least amount of space

Where do you even buy these anymore? I agree with you, but I only ever see those shitty highly-breakable plastic ones.

I think I got mine at either walmart or a dollar store

For t shirts, I like the slim velvet ones. The velvet keeps the shirts from sliding off and they take less space than the usual plastic
For heavier or nicer things, wood.

The edge of the bed?

Otherwise, them fancy padded ones are the only type narrow enough for jackets unless I use children's hangers.

The kind with clips on a bar are great for trousers/shirts & ideally the kind where the bar can swing out & with soft lining on the clips.

Prefer if the head (or hook bit?) swivels, but wire hangers are easy to bend & have other uses so I like to keep some to hand. They can also be bent to fit my jackets & padded with old cloths if necessary.
