Slim Velvety Hangers

I've had my eye on these hangers for quite some time (years to be exact), but since I had just spent time and money introducing wooden hangers to my wardrobe, I was a little hesitant to invest more money in hangers.  They are only hangers after all.  At least, that is what I thought until I stumbled across a set of slim hangers at Costco a couple of weeks ago and finally took the plunge.  At $16 for a set of 50 hangers, they are the least expensive set I have found and seemed reasonable enough for me to re-haul my hanger stash.

Now I still had a mix of wooden and the classic white plastic hangers.  The latter are not exactly the prettiest, I know; however, they certainly took up significantly less room than their wooden counterparts and at a fraction of the cost.  So I reserved those for shirts, hoodies and the like, while dedicating the wooden ones for my suits, dresses and coats. 

Since introducing the slim velvety hangers, I have still kept some of my wooden versions for all of our coats as I feel that, particularly for winter gear, they offer better support than either the plastic or velvet versions.  The slim velvety one’s own up to their claim of anti-slip; however, that also means that getting your gear onto the hangers can prove a little more challenging with the stick factor (the plastic just glided right over the fabric)!  Although, once on the hanger it isn't going anywhere - definite bonus for any slippery fabric and spaghetti strap dresses.

The only thing that I am not sold on with these is using them for my suits.  I find they hang a little strangely and pull across the shoulders, so I may switch back to my wooden ones for that task.  Time shall tell!

Happy organizing!
