Abstract
A combination garment hanger and garment size indicating system is provided in the form of a garment hanger equipped with a tab-holding section that accommodates a size-indicating tab. Once the size-indicating tab is inserted into the tab-holding section, it is substantially unremovable. Any removal of the tab from the tab-holding section substantially damages the tab and renders it useless. The tab is ergonomically designed to reduce the likelihood of carpal tunnel syndrome in assembly-line workers charged with the task of installing the tabs on garment hangers.
