INTRODUCTIONThe secret to wardrobes that look straight out of an interior design magazine is fairly simple, but often overlooked: matching hangers.

If your hangers are an assortment of wire and plastic freebies collected over the years from shops and dry cleaners, you’ll never be able to create the clutter-free look you desire.

However, much more importantly, if you choose the wrong hangers for your clothes, you’re running the risk that they’ll become damaged and misshapen.

We are proud to announce that Howards has totally overhauled its hanger range. A quality hanger will support garments and help them stay in shape no matter how long they hang in your wardrobe. What’s amazing is just how much choice there is – from solid wood to non-slip and designer chrome!

WHAT WE’VE DONEThis is your ultimate guide to the incredible world of hangers. We guarantee you’ll be amazed by just how many types are available!

We’ve also worked out how many will fit into the average wardrobe, to help you calculate how many you’ll need.

We measured each hanger by placing a board on top and seeing how thick it was at its widest point. We then added 5mm to each side of the hanger (e.g., an extra 10mm) to allow for a shirt to be comfortably hung, before adding an additional 5mm breathing room for each hanger.

As you look through this guide you’ll see our chart showing, at a glance, how many hangers you can fit on a typical wardrobe rail once they’re loaded with clothes!

HOW TO CHOOSE A HANGERIf there’s one person who really knows the ins and outs of hangers, it’s Howards’ Senior Buyer, Jim Toby…

“It may seem excessive, to be passionate about hangers,” says Jim, “but the truth is, we spend a lot on our clothes, and the way you hang them actually protects their shape and how long they’ll last – that’s why you need a different hanger for coats and jackets, trousers, T-shirts and dresses, etc.”

Clearly committed to style and substance, Jim makes ‘quality’ his top priority when sourcing hangers for Howards. For instance, all our flocked hangers sit on strong resin frames rather than brittle plastic frames, and the PVC coating on our new PVC hangers is a generous thickness, making them durable and slip resistant.

Jim elaborates, “Quality is so important, particularly with timber hangers. That’s why I only source A-grade timbers such as maple and lotus wood. Did you know that this kind of timber actually

allows for more specialised design features like curved broad shoulders and notching? I always tell people you get what you pay for when it comes to hangers. So don’t be fooled by the cheaper variety – they’re often a mix of B or C grades, they’re poorly made and may damage your clothes.”

Space is another concern. Jim explains, “A lot of our hangers – like the fine-flocked variety – are actually quite thin, so they’re ideal space-savers and great for T-shirts. You can line up quite a few of them in your wardrobe without cramping your style – literally!”

Jim is particularly excited by the new range of hangers now in-store at Howards. “We’ve just introduced a new coat and trouser hanger design with a timber clamp. We’ve also expanded our range of felt hangers for adults and children and added five new designs of PVC-coated shirt and trouser hangers to our stock. But my personal favourites are the two solid chrome high polished designs – simply stunning.”

So just when you thought Howards couldn’t possibly improve on the already amazing range of hangers in-store, Jim Toby and his team have worked hard to exceed your expectations.

Use this guide to help you choose the right hangers for your needs and rest assured that if they are from Howards, you are buying quality.
