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.

[-] gagewhylds@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ayyndrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same, got some cheap ones from Ikea and am happy with them

[-] stevestevesteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There are wooden ones that I tend to like, but they're a little more expensive for something that hardly matters

[-] DangleBerry@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Labotomized@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DangleBerry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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!

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.

[-] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] sarsaparilyptus@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

So, no wire hangers, ever?

[-] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Squish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] unce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] 0101010001110100@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] unce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] apis@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Kitchen table chairs are my personal favorite.

[-] Tehwabi@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.
