Ask Lemmy

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

We use plastic and wood. I love the wood ones from Ikea.

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.

I... Actually like the plastic ones. I mean, the only other option I know of are the even cheaper wire ones, which always get bent out of shape with my heavy clothes.

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.

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

I hear that statues of Hoid make good coat hangers

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.

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.

Is price an object?

If not these are very nice hangers:

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