Hanger SizingUpdated 2 months ago
By choosing the right size hanger, you’ll extend the life of your garments and maintain their shape and quality. Kirby Allison’s Luxury Garment Hangers are tailored for various clothing types, from heavy suits to delicate sweaters.
Here's a breakdown of the available hangers and how to choose the right size for each:
Luxury Wooden Jacket/Suit Hangers
These hangers are designed for structured garments like suits, jackets, and coats, offering broad shoulders that support the garment’s natural shape.
- Available Sizes: 15.5”, 17”, 18.5”, and 20”
- Choosing the Right Size: The size of the hanger should correspond to the width of your jacket’s shoulders. Use the following guide based on your suit or jacket shoulder width:
- 15.5”: Best for smaller sizes, ideal for shoulder widths under 17”.
- 17”: Suitable for medium-sized jackets with shoulder widths of 17”-19”.
- 18.5”: Perfect for larger jackets with shoulder widths of 19”-21”.
- 20”: Designed for extra-large or bespoke jackets with shoulder widths of over 21”.
These sizes ensure the jacket retains its form and prevents stretching or distortion at the shoulders.
These hangers are specifically designed to support trousers, featuring felt bars or locking mechanisms to prevent slipping and creasing.
- Choosing the Right Size: One size typically fits all for trouser hangers, as they are engineered to hold trousers securely without bunching or slipping.
Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hangers
These hangers are lighter and narrower than the jacket hangers, perfect for unstructured garments like sweaters, polos, and lightweight jackets.
- Available Sizes: 15.5” and 17”
- Choosing the Right Size:
- 15.5”: Ideal for smaller, lightweight garments or knitwear with shoulder widths below 17”.
- 17”: Suitable for medium-sized garments with shoulder widths of 17”-19”.
These hangers offer gentle support without overstretching the fabric or causing misshaping.
Shirts require hangers with narrower shoulders to prevent stretching but still maintain their form. Kirby Allison’s shirt hangers come with a contoured shape to keep shirts looking crisp.
- Available Sizes: 15.5” and 17”
- Choosing the Right Size:
- 15.5”: Ideal for smaller shirts and casual wear.
- 17”: Great for larger dress shirts and formal wear.
Tips for Choosing the Right Hanger Size:
- Measure Your Garment’s Shoulders: Use a tape measure to check the width across the shoulders of your jacket, shirt, or sweater. This will help match it to the closest available hanger size.
- Consider the Garment’s Structure: Structured garments, like suits and jackets, need broader support, while unstructured items can use narrower hangers.
- Protect Your Investment: A properly sized hanger prevents stretching, sagging, and other damage, preserving the garment’s fit and appearance for years to come.
