For some reason I've been seeing a lot of different coat hanger designs on my social media feeds, but this is the coolest one I've seen! I might actually have to pick this up, I can't believe it's not a thing already.
My goodness, that cost hanger you linked made me irrationally angry. I saw $30 to pre-order 10 hangers and just wondered what is wrong with the world today. In my mind even $1 is too much to spend...
My goodness, that cost hanger you linked made me irrationally angry. I saw $30 to pre-order 10 hangers and just wondered what is wrong with the world today. In my mind even $1 is too much to spend on a single plastic hanger.
I honestly do not think I have ever bought a hanger before. Every time I’ve seen another person’s closet, they’ve always had an excess of them. I have a box in storage filled with excess hangers. They last a really long time usually, and some stores actually give you them with the article of clothing.
haha I mean in all fairness, the original post is 20$ dollars for a single hanger, and 75$ for 12. Which feels like a lot as well, even though it is specialized. I like Simone's implementation...

Come to think of it I don't think I have either, and I've moved like 6 times in the last 5 years. they just kinda pop out of nowhere

In some ways it's a genius design that solves real problems. But won't this leave your clothes with a long vertical crease down the middle? One of the main reasons we use hangers is to prevent the clothes from wrinkling. I feel like I'd have to iron that out every time I take a shirt off one of these.
That's a good point, but I think creases only really form when its a relatively crisp fold. But this hanger looks to have about a 1-2" radius where the material folds back on itself, which isn't...
That's a good point, but I think creases only really form when its a relatively crisp fold. But this hanger looks to have about a 1-2" radius where the material folds back on itself, which isn't very crisp, and so that might be enough to prevent a crease.

I would've assumed this to be such an obvious problem for her as well that I would've expected her to address it -- whether or not it leaves a crease. Maybe it's so obvious that it'll crease that she thought it wasn't worth mentioning. Or since this is basically just an ad (with an interesting design process story) she just focused on what ads are supposed to do and tried to sell the product.
Edit. Like Mikie said the answer was in the Kickstarter FAQ:
Will the Coat Hingers leave creases on my clothes?
We have tested the Coat Hingers with lots of different types of clothes, and have not noticed any significant creasing. There might be clothes that could use a quick steam or iron after being hung – but we have yet to find them.
I think they mean why not have the shirts lay flat against the wall. Which would be fine for a few shirts, but it wouldn't scale well, trying to get a single shirt in/out of a dozen would quickly...
I think they mean why not have the shirts lay flat against the wall. Which would be fine for a few shirts, but it wouldn't scale well, trying to get a single shirt in/out of a dozen would quickly become a huge pain.

Having that system currently in one of my closets, I can confirm it's a huge pain in the ass. You can't "over stuff" it like you could normally, it is a lot harder to see what you have hanging there and get stuff from the back (even when it isn't as deep as a regular closet). Everything's just in the way all the time.

They sell these bars with holes in them that are meant for this; one end gets hung up and you put your hangers in the holes on it. They aren’t super hard to pull clothes out of, though you do need two hands. They are also used to overstuff closets, but I don’t care for that use because that is when it gets really hard to navigate.
I don't need something like this for the space savings, I love this idea though because my clothes can be kept without falling off the hanger since I have the laundry bins in my closet.

There are some folks that never iron. I think the overlap between full lack of clothing storage and lack of ironing is high.
I only iron if I'm going to a wedding. I just assume that my clothes are meant to be creased.
I don't think I currently own an iron tbh
I wonder how a telescoping bar with holes in it for hangers that comes out to the user would perform for quantity and wrinkle count.
I just hope she has a patent. Can that be patented?
I may be watching too much Dragon's Den (UK Shark Tank).
That looks... kind of horrible, actually. Overengineered. The plastic will break eventually. Why not just make the hook rotatable?
Could you elaborate? I'm dumb and don't understand what you mean.

Has it really been 3 years since the Dobbs decision already…
