A well-made suit will last you a lifetime—if you care for it properly. And no amount of careful cleaning will make up for years of hanging a sharply tailored jacket and trousers on a hanger that’s not built to support them. This is why it’s just as important to choose the right hanger for a suit as it is to choose the right shirt and other accessories to wear with it.

The Hanger Project Wooden Suit Hanger
The Hanger Project founder Kirby Allison, perhaps more than most, knows what makes up a great hanger.

To rectify this problem, he created a suit hanger featuring shoulders that taper and then round at the end, along with felted bar grips to keep trousers in place and help prevent creasing.

Cons: Bulky silhouette that takes up a lot of space in a closet.
