Clothes Hangers
Hangers can be used for many purposes. They are basically organizational tools to hang items in a particular order, making it easy to find things later. One of the most common and important uses of the hanger is to put up clothes in a closet or to display them in a store. Clothes hangers are made of materials like wood, plastic, wire, etc. and come in different shapes, colors and sizes.
Commercial Clothes Hangers
Department stores, malls, exclusive boutiques, etc. all stock and display clothes with the help of clothes hangers. The type and style of the hangers used, of course, varies with the type of store or shop. A regular department store carrying essential clothing would use regular hangers. On the other hand, exclusive clothes come with specially made hangers that carry the logo of the designer or the store.
The material of commercial clothes hangers may also vary. For instance, heavy clothes such as denims or woolens require sturdy wooden hangers, whereas for light clothing like lingerie, plastic ones will suffice.
Clothes Hangers for Home Use
There are many types of hangers used around the home. Let’s take a look at some of these.
- Coats and Suit Hangers: Heavy clothes in the house like woolen coats or suits need sturdy hangers to support them. Wooden hangers are most suited for this purpose. The shape of the hanger needs to be appropriate to hold up the clothing, so that it does not slip off.
- Men’s Clothes Hangers: Hangers for men are designed to hold shirts and pants with ease. Some hangers come with a bar at the bottom, so that shirts and pants may be hung together. This would prevent the need for too many hangers, thus clearing up some space in a closet. These hangers are rather broad in the shoulders, to support men’s clothing well.
- Women’s Clothes Hangers: Quite obviously, hangers for women’s clothes have narrow shoulders when compared with men’s ones. This makes it easier to hang women’s shirts and dresses. Additionally, special provisions are made such as extra clips, for skirts, under garments, etc.
- Children’s Hangers: Clothes hangers for kids and babies are some of the cutest things you could find. Smaller in size, they come with interesting decorative patterns that are fit to be used in a child’s room.
- Decorative Hangers: Plain hangers are no longer fashionable to use. Be it elegant luxury hangers or something more ‘fun’, decorative hangers are the rage and people get these to adorn their closets.
Purchasing Clothes Hangers
If you need to make a bulk purchase of hangers for your business, you would be better off contacting a manufacturer or wholesaler who could get you a great deal. For regular consumers however, department stores or shopping malls provide pretty good options. If you are particularly looking for creative or decorative hangers, a lot of websites provide wonderful options that cannot be found in a store. You could take a look at several catalogs and pick the ones that you like best.
