What hanger should I use for my leather jacket?Updated 4 months ago

Choosing the Right Hanger for Your Leather Jacket

Leather jackets are a timeless wardrobe staple, known for their durability and style. However, preserving their shape and condition requires proper care, including the right hanger choice. At Kirby Allison, we offer two high-quality options for hanging your leather jacket: the Luxury Wooden Jacket Hanger (or Suit Hanger) and the Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hanger. Here's how to choose the appropriate hanger based on your jacket's weight, construction, and type of leather.

Luxury Wooden Jacket Hanger (or Suit Hanger)

Ideal for:

  • Heavier leather jackets
  • Structured leather jackets
  • Jackets with substantial shoulder padding

Features:

  • Broad shoulder design to provide ample support
  • Robust construction to hold heavier garments without sagging
  • Smooth, contoured shape to maintain the jacket's natural shoulder line

The Luxury Wooden Jacket Hanger is perfect for leather jackets that are heavier and have a more structured build. Its broad shoulders ensure that the weight of the jacket is evenly distributed, preventing any stretching or distortion. This hanger is particularly suited for jackets with significant shoulder padding, as it preserves their shape impeccably.

Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hanger

Ideal for:

  • Lightweight leather jackets
  • Unstructured or softer leather jackets
  • Jackets made from delicate leather types

Features:

  • Slightly narrower shoulder width for a gentler hold
  • Lightweight design that is gentle on delicate materials
  • Smooth finish to avoid any snagging or damage to the leather

For leather jackets that are lighter in weight or made from softer, more delicate leather, the Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hanger is an excellent choice. Its design offers a gentler hold, ensuring that the jacket maintains its shape without any unnecessary strain. This hanger is also ideal for unstructured jackets that do not require the broad support provided by the Jacket Hanger.

Choosing Based on Your Jacket

  1. Weight:

    • Heavier jackets (e.g., thick leather, motorcycle jackets): Opt for the Luxury Wooden Jacket Hanger.
    • Lighter jackets (e.g., lambskin, suede): The Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hanger is more appropriate.
  2. Construction:

    • Structured jackets with padding and defined shoulders: Use the Luxury Wooden Jacket Hanger.
    • Unstructured jackets with softer, less defined shapes: Choose the Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hanger.
  3. Type of Leather:

    • Thick, durable leather: The Luxury Wooden Jacket Hanger provides the necessary support.
    • Soft, delicate leather: The Luxury Wooden Sweater & Polo Hanger is gentle and protective.

By selecting the right hanger, you can ensure that your leather jacket maintains its shape and continues to look its best for years to come. Explore our range of high-quality hangers at Kirby Allison to find the perfect fit for your wardrobe needs.
