Haven’t used wire hangers in years...and the Joan Crawford image came to mind and of course, she came into your mind too. Great minds think alike, right?

No pointy shoulders and no creases in pants when hung over the cross bar on the bottom of the hanger. One size does fit all! She made the same cover on wooden hangers and have never had a coat fall off the hanger. Pretty sure those hangers will be the one thing my kids don't throw out when it is time to clean out my closet :)<br />Lu CUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361815863921548292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-5572255370584214042018-06-26T13:43:36.801-04:002018-06-26T13:43:36.801-04:00just the smile i needed today - and so true - like...just the smile i needed today - and so true - like Karen i hated the velvety non-slip hangers - like the plastic ones for most everything except for wood ones in the coat closet. happy hangers, happy me!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898875981459687864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-29993259022874364472018-06-26T13:39:16.258-04:002018-06-26T13:39:16.258-04:00Oh, I get it, believe me!

But this totally describes every closet in their house!!! I prefer plastic so I bought a ton of the same kind, for myself and my spouse, and it limits our wardrobe from becoming out of hand. When we run out of hangers, I have to purge something. I did just have to buy a new set for my son whose clothes outgrew the children's size, but again, I bought enough for his lifetime and he will take them with him and I'll be donating the child size soon. I actually tried the velvetty non-slip hangers and found I passionately hate them. They slow down the laundry process to a crawl and I was afraid one of us would tear something trying to 'slip' the clothes off to get dressed. Yup, not for me. Back to the store they went. Our only exceptions are the wood hangers in the coat closet... no plastic can handle trench coats and parkas! Loved this list <3 Btw, donation centers probably don't take the hangers for the same reason we don't want them... reproduction. They'd leave at night with one shelf of hangers and come back the next day to find 2 shelves of hangers. Within a month they'd be a hanger store!!!

We hang by colors, facing the same direction, and by type of clothing. Since we haven't moved in 40 years, a few oldies lurk that need to go in the donation pile.
