Garments in good condition commonly are stored by hanging them from padded hangers. The padded hanger provides support when its size and padding conforms to the style and shape of the garment. A hanger mis-sized for the shoulder area of a garment can cause damage. Many options exist for constructing padded hangers. Typically, they involve the use of a purchased polystyrene or wooden hanger and added padding and covers. Cotton or polyester batting or polyethylene foam cushions the hangers. There are disadvantages to using purchased hangers. Wood and polystyrene hangers produce acidic fumes and must be sealed before use. The hanger's metal hook can rust; often the shaft is not long enough to allow for any customized padding in the neck or collar area. Re-housing the textile collection at Gettysburg National Military Park, Gettysburg, PA afforded the authors the opportunity to develop and test a new type of padded hanger that can be custom-fit to any garment shape. This paper, based on a poster, describes the materials and process of fabricating a hanger which takes little time to make and is cost effective.
