Pant Hangers to Keep Clothes Wrinkle Free

Particularly in industrialized countries,
wardrobes grow more multitudinous with each
passing year: it is not uncommon for people to
possess as many as thirty pairs of jeans, half
again as many dress pants, and somewhere between
ten and fifteen pairs of khakis at any one time.
Add to those clothes the sets of “fat” and “thin”
clothes owned by most women and an increasing
number of men, and you have a formidable amount of
clothing that requires storage. Stacking that kind
of yardage in closet shelving becomes impractical,
since after four pairs of pants have been folded
and placed atop on another, the pile becomes
unstable. One would require as many as 15 separate
stacks for pants alone! And stacks make it
difficult to find what you want without digging
through the layers, which either need to be
re-folded or are thrown willy-nilly back in the
direction of the closet to be addressed at
another, less hectic hour.

Aside from issues of space, folding pants for
storage causes wrinkles, obliterates pleats and
makes one’s appearance disheveled. Using clothes
hangers saves not only space but time as well—the
time that would otherwise be spent ironing and
steaming clothes before each wearing. People who
do not use clothes hangers spend an average of
five minutes a day more in folding and storage,
and up to 4.5 hours a month in increased
laundering and ironing. They could devote up to 6
hours a month to other pursuits if they used
clothes hangers instead.
Pant (or “pants”) hangers are like skirt hangers
in that they consist of wooden or plastic hanger
bodies with clips made to hold pants by the
waistband. It is most important to examine the
quality of the clips before purchasing pant
hangers, as some of the cheaper ones simply do not
have the gripping power needed to suspend the
pants. Test these hangers by taking your coat or
some similarly heavy item and clipping it to the
hanger clasps. Raise and lower the hanger quickly
in the air, and don’t be gentle. If the garment
stays secure while it is clipped and moved around,
you can probably count on the hangers safely
holding the pants in the closet.
Pant hangers with clips should also be checked for
the quality of the inside of the clip. Some clips
have metal teeth etched into them: they should be
checked for smoothness. Remember, teeth that
haven’t been smoothed completely can catch on
waistbands and ruin your clothes. Better quality
pant hangers have plastic clips, and many are
lined with a foam or fabric that prevents the
clips itself from touching the garment. These
linings are excellent, but you should make doubly
sure that the clip has adequate gripping power:
sometimes, clip linings prevent the clips from
holding the garments securely.
Some pants hangers have a bar across them: one
hangs the pants by folding and draping them across
the bar. If you buy pants hangers with the bar,
choose a bar that is slightly wide and rounded (or
even padded): the combination of size and shape
will prevent an unsightly crease.
