Well gents,thanks to a going out of business sale at a local store,I have purged nearly all wire hangers from my closet (I was tempted to do my Mommie Dearest impersonation) and gone to wooden.I know I have at least 100 wire hangers in my closet,and out of those only 12-14 were in use,the rest having accumulated over time.I'm planning on giving most of them to local charities (they always need them),and keeping a few for times when they can come in handy (ie,when my mother locks the keys in the car).

Well back to the business at hand,I've read that plastic hangers are better than wood for shirts,but I think that's just a load of garbage,am I wrong?:confused:

I've got a mix of plastic and wood hangers. That did well for me until I needed an unbent hanger... :eusa_doh:

The theory is that plastic hangers won't stretch the fabric at the shoulder yoke like metal hangers will. Having said that, all my dress shirts are on metal hangers. I am, a dress shirt junkie. All my rayon gabardine, or silk bowling shirts are on plastic. Those shirts can get stretched pretty quick!

I highly recommend the Setwell 750, made specifically for men's suits. Hanging trousers by the cuff not only eliminates the dreaded fold crease but also goes a long way towards removing the wrinkles acquired with normal daily wear.

Re: GOB sale/hangers.

The OP was probably referring to Steve & Barry's. Get wooden hangers there for 5 for $1. Sweet.


Indeed.I went in there on a whim,and came out with a scarf and wooden hangers.All in all a nice shopping experience.

May have to consider that.
