History of Pants Hangers
While there might be a million different types of pants hangers in the market today, the very first hangers which are also considered as coat hangers or clothes hangers in some parts of the world, was believed to be been invented by United States President Thomas Jefferson who used to have wooden clothes and pants hangers in his home.
While not exactly the same as the appearance of the ones used in the Jefferson residence the most notable and common pants hangers were officially invented and documented by O.A. North in 1896.
Another fellow who has been given credit for the creation is Albert J. Parkhouse together with Christopher Cann in 1876. It was only in 1906 however when retailers started selling these hangers and placing it on display in their stores. This trend started with Men’s Clothier Meyer May from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
No matter what type of hanger you choose, you should always remember though that there is a specific amount of weight that a pants hanger can carry. Don’t stick too many pants into each hanger especially in cases where you plan to hang the pants hangers on the passenger seat of your car.
