Quality Hangers

Quality Hangers

Hangers are probably one of the most universal items found in the average home. From shirts and suits, to ties and tablecloths, hangers are an easy way to organize and access all your clothes. You probably are aware that there are many different shapes, sizes, colors, and styles of hangers, including plastic hangers, metal hangers, aluminum hangers, acrylic hangers, velvet hangers, wooden hangers... and the list goes on. There's even clothes hangers for specific garments, like pants and skirts, and hangers with different features and forms, such as tiered hangers. Coat hangers are often found in mudroom closets, while clothes hangers are more likely to be found in bedrooms and wardrobes. Wherever your garment storage space is at home, you need to know one crucial detail: the clothes hangers you select will make a difference in how long your clothing will last. Depending on what hangers you choose to use, you could extend the lifespan of your clothing by years! We're here to share a few words about why choosing quality hangers is more important than you think.

Off the Hook! Factors to Consider When Choosing Quality Hangers for your Clothing

While picking the right hangers for your clothing matters, it's not excessively complicated either. Understanding how your clothing will hang and hold up on a given hanger will help you make the right decisions. You may also want to consider your home decor scheme in some cases, noting that wooden hangers may look better in a log cabin style home, while metal or plastic hangers with an elegant, smooth finish may look better for a modern touch. Regardless, some of the most important factors to consider include the features of the hanger, how easily they store and prevent creases in your clothing, and the amount of space the clothes hangers will take up in your closet or wardrobe.

Here's How it Hangs - What Different Kinds of Hangers Have to Offer

Some hangers are literally just built different - designed to accomplish different things for different clothing items. Wooden hangers are durable and sturdy, made to hold heavier clothing items such as jeans, slacks, suits, coats, and large dresses. Wooden hangers are ideal for clothes that aren't worn as often, since they'll hold up well for long periods of time. Metal hangers are similar to wooden hangers in function and are often used as coat hangers or dress hangers - however, they are typically a bit slimmer and often more expensive. Metal hangers are sleek and elegant, adding style while saving space in your closet, as compared to wooden hangers.

Velvet hangers are ideal for delicate clothes, since they are naturally non-slip. This makes velvet hangers one of the best options for drying clothes after doing laundry, since they'll minimize the wrinkles that your clothes retain as they dry. Velvet hangers are also specifically perfect for cotton clothes that have trouble with finicky folds at the shoulders where they hang on standard plastic hangers, for example. Speaking of plastic hangers, they are a versatile, long-lasting hanger that work well for organizing shirts, jackets, hoodies, and light coats. Plastic hangers require some thought to use though, since they are known for bending and stretching out heavier clothes or clothes that tend to store for awhile between uses. Plastic hangers are not considered ideal for hanging pants and skirts because of this.

Suit Yourself, It's Your Wardrobe After All - But Here's What We Suggest!

At Kooi Housewares, our favorite clothes hangers are metal, non-slip hangers by Mawa (parent company is Reston Lloyd). These high quality hangers are entirely made of metal, with many of them having a partial or full non-slip coating that helps your clothes stay put. They're perfect for ultimate space-saving clothes storage since they're slim and sleek.

Our current selection of pant and trouser hangers is the most diverse so far. The Mawa Pant Clamp Hangers are great for jeans and slacks, like they're designed for, but also work well for hanging up towels, blankets, and sheets to dry as well. The Mawa Non-Slip Space Saving Clothes Hanger with Bar and Hooks for Pants and Skirts is obviously a mouthful... but it also does you a huge favor with your clothing storage. They're engineered to hold an entire outfit on one hanger so you don't have to go scrambling to find all the pieces before work. They'll also save space in your closet since you won't need multiple hangers for each top and bottom you have - just slip them together onto one hanger and you're good to go.

These Clothes Hangers Are Real Bangers!

The Mawa Non-Slip Clip Hangers for Pants and Skirts are a family favorite, requiring minimal effort to hang up clothes. Sweatpants, leggings, and swimsuits work well with these hangers, in addition to the pants and skirts they were especially designed to hold. There's also a Wide Clip version of these clip hangers, for larger sizes of clothing. Yet another one of our favorites are the hook style Mawa clothes hangers that also are very simple to use. These hangers allow you to simply fold your garments in half and loop them on top of the open end of the hanger before slipping them into your wardrobe or closet. There are two variants of this hanger style, one with the left side of the hanger open (the "normal" Mawa Hook Clothes Hanger) and one with the right side of the hanger open (the "reverse" Mawa Hook Clothes Hanger).

Mawa also has several awesome Non-Slip hanger styles for shirts and dresses, not just for pants and skirts. These Mawa Curved No-Bump Non-Slip Space Saving Hangers are shaped like a rainbow, which prevents your clothes from bunching in the usual spots on your average clothes hanger (like on the shoulder or sleeve). The No-Bump hangers also come in an Ultra-Thin style for extra space-saving help. The Mawa Body Form Series Wide Shoulder Support Clothes Hangers work well as suit and coat hangers, since these are garments that need a little extra support to prevent them from getting wrinkles and being deformed or stretched out while hanging. Finally, the Mawa Silhouette Series Non-Slip hangers are a versatile option for just about any top or textile that will fit on them.
