’48 to the Bar’ – What you need to know about choosing Clothes hangers for your store.

     I couldn’t resist this cover photo.  It’s so gorgeous! Timing is everything It never ceases to amaze me that retailers will arrive in my showroom to choose garment hangers within 2 weeks of opening their new store.  Yes, I can provide you with in-stock hanger programs, but here’s an opportunity to  customize your hangers and reinforce your branding message.  It takes about 12 weeks from time of order to get customized hangers…and it’s worth it! Why ’48 to the Bar’ Here’s a ‘RULE OF THUMB’ for you.  For every 1″ of hanging bar width, you will need 1 hanger.  Therefore a 48″ bar will take 48 garments.  Hence ’48 to the Bar’! This  is an easy way to figure out how many hangers you need to purchase.  I.e.  Every double hung section of uprights and cross-bars will take approximately 100 hangers.  You will then need to determine how much is top hangers and how much bottom hangers. For thicker garments like outerwear or Men’s suits you will have fewer than the 48 garments because the hanger will be larger
