Customers who purchase metal hangers usually ask for their customization, so the styles of metal hangers vary greatly compared to hangers of other materials. Some customers may even design it to look like a work of art.
In the early history, wire hangers were the main type of metal hangers, usually made of wire or copper wire.
Wire hangers are great for all sorts of things. They can help you unclog a sink, fish wire through walls, unlock your car door if you locked yourself out, you can even make an HDTV antenna out of them. Over the years wire hangers have been getting thinner and weaker. They don’t distribute the weight of the garment over a large surface area and aren’t always wide enough which can cause indentations in the clothing. Apparently the metal can even discolor some fabrics, which is why when you get your clothes from the dry cleaners, there’s sometimes a paper sleeve over the hanger.
Wire hangers are a cheap way to transport your clothes from the dry cleaners. They’re not so great for your clothes. People keep some wire hangers around because they can come in handy for different things, if for some reason, you and your customer must have wire hangers (packing in a travel garment bag for instance). You can choose the wire hangers from Overhangers, which look nicer and stronger than the ones you get from the dry cleaner.
With the widespread application of the dipping process and the emergence of a large number of aluminum hangers and stainless steel hangers, the shortcomings of the early wire hangers have been improved.
