Hi, I'm Kirby Allison,
founder of The Hanger Project.
We get a lot of questions here
at the Hunger Project on how to
size your luxury wooden suit
hangers properly.
So one size doesn't fit all
whenever it comes to your
clothing the same should be
true whenever it comes to your
hangers. That's why at The
Hanger project we have four
different sizes of almost every
single hanger that we offer.
We allow you to tailor the fit
of the hanger exactly to the
size of your shoulders.
Our 50 and a half inch small
hanger is good for
suit jackets underneath
a size 40.
Our medium 17 inch hanger fits
suit jackets sized between
a U.S. 40 and a U.S.
44. Our large
18 and a half inch suit hangers
is sized for garments between a
size U.S.
44 and 48,
and our gigantic 20 inch
luxury suit hanger is sized
for garments above size
49.
Our 20 inch extra large luxury
wouldn't suit hangers really a
Goliath.
This hanger is absolutely
gigantic.
And the gentleman that's
wearing a size 49 or larger
suit jacket needs of this
hanger more than anyone else
because it is impossible to
find extra wide
wooden hangers that properly
support the suit jacket.
From our small 15 and a half
inch hanger all the way to our
extra large 20 inch hanger,
we enable everyone to
tailor the fit of their hangers
to their jackets.
Now there's two important
things to remember whenever
sizing your hanger.
The first is that you want your
hanger to extend as close to
the shoulder as possible
without extending past it.
The reason that that's
important is because you want
to provide the shoulder region,
which is where a lot of
construction goes into,
with as much support as
possible.
But if you extend it past the
shoulder into the sleeve
you risk damaging the jacket
by one disrupting the drape of
the shoulder and by two
whenever you go to put your
garment back in your closet,
if you were to bang up against
the back wall you could
actually pinch and damage the
suit fabric.
So I wear a size 38
and are small 15 and a half
inch hanger really fits all my
garments perfectly.
Now this right here is our
medium 17 inch hanger.
Now you can see it's a good fit
right. But if I feel it at the
shoulders it's just slightly
extending past the shoulder
into the sleeve.
Now this is a great example of
something that's a little bit
borderline right.
So it's not jetting past
the shoulder,
but it's still jetting
a little bit. So for me
personally my preference
is our 15 and
a half inch hanger because
again I'm getting support
on the shoulders without having
to worry about it extending
past the shoulder into the
sleeve.
A lot of people try to measure
their suit jackets.
We actually find that measuring
your suit jacket is the least
accurate way to size the
hanger, just because every
single jacket is cut
differently. So we honestly
recommend going off of the U.S.
equivalent size that you wear.
If you're a U.S.
38 go for a 15
and a half inch hanger,
if you're 40, a 17.
If you're a 44,
an 18 and a half,
and if you're at like a 48,49,
or larger you definitely
need our extra large 20 inch
suit hanger.
One question we get from our
customers is how do they know
if they need to go up or down a
size and the best guidance that
we can offer is that you're if
you're off by more than half an
inch on either side under or
over then at that point
it's good to move up to the
next size.
If you have any questions about
sizing, feel free to email or
call customer service.
We're happy to walk you through
the process and we have
a perfect fit guarantee.
So if you receive your hangers
and aren't perfectly satisfied
with the fit,
we'll exchange them for the
proper size at no cost.
So I invite you to discover our
collection of luxury garment
hangers. If you have any
questions feel free to reach
out to us through the website.
I'm Kirby Allison.
Thanks for joining us.
