coat hangers

Garment suspension devices

Coat hangers are devices for holding garments, typically with a hook that fits over a closet rod and a shaped frame that supports a shirt or jacket at the shoulders.

Most are made of wire, plastic, or wood.

The closet was full of empty coat hangers.

Wire coat hangers have a grim secondary association with self-induced abortions before the procedure was legal.
