Abstract

A hanger for garments of the type having a waistband has a rigid body resistant to compression loads applied lengthwise thereof. The ends of the hanger are so designed that the waistband of a garment can be wrapped around them and then resiliently pulled with sufficient force that the garment seats firmly against the end faces of the hanger body. The hanger has one or more hooks to engage the waistband and a resilient stretchable member to apply tension to the waistband by means of the hook. The end faces of the hanger are so designed that the garment, once tensioned along its waistband, will have no tendency to slide either upwardly or downwardly with respect to the hanger body.
