Wood hangers are used by business people, entrepreneurs and professionals, whose well-made clothing demands support. Lined jackets and skirts fare much better on a sturdy hanger, keeping their shapes well, year after year. Since clothes hangers rarely need replacing (simply add to their numbers as your wardrobe grows), many people feel it’s worth it to buy a quality hanger that will last decades. Cleaning your closet of old, inferior-quality leftovers from the dry-cleaners will reduce the chance of snagging clothes on sharp hook ends: replacing old hangers with sturdy wooden ones will enhance the design of your closet and help organize your wardrobe.

Wooden hangers are available in various shapes and styles and can be used to hang all parts of the wardrobe in a flat, vertical fashion. Better hotels make wooden hangers available to their guests, and the best hotels refrain from using the “anti-theft” hangers: if your customer takes your hanger home, he will see the name of your establishment every time he opens the closet door. It’s the best advertising in the world! Oh, and did I mention a small charge on their Visa card for something outside of the mini-bar?

Most wooden hangers are made of hardwood such as beech, walnut, mahogany or oak that has been lacquered to prevent splintering or oils from the wood from coming into contact with clothing. The exception is cedar hangers, whose unfinished wood prevents moths and other insects from invading closets. Periodically, the scent of cedar hangers will fade: rub the hanger lightly with sandpaper to restore its aroma.

Wooden hangers come in a variety of finishes, including opaque black or white for the minimalist wardrobe often favored by stylish, punk, Goth or hip-hop clothing wearers. Matching finish to lifestyle is one simple yet effective way to customize a closet.
