Came back to say: if this is to gather the hangers so that when you iron you can then go straight onto hangers, you can do it by a quick wander round of wardrobes where all empty hangers are neatly waiting collection at one end of rack for ironing day. No need for separate storage systems.
If it is because huge clothes buying habit, get that sorted...

It's me doing my bit help the Mrs when she goes to bed early and I wait for the long wash to end... Then hang stuff in our airing cupboard so dry for next morning. It's like a barrel of monkies currently. Pull 1 hammer out and 15 join in the fun. There's no rail in there we just use the underside of the slatted shelf. Selfless, me.

Any suggestions for wooden hangers for things with wide, structured shoulders. Heavy coats, suit jackets etc. As a rule those hangers are 2" or so wide, not the skinny wooden ones for t shirts
Sensible prices.
I used thehangerstore.co.uk (no affiliation) last year for all different sizes.Sensible prices.
Not particularly cheap but I didnt think it was a rip off either.
They do a jacket hanger which iirc is about £30 for a pack of 10.
Weirdly did a tip run today with the last of our plastic hangers as we ended up ordering enough to replace them all in the end.

Thanks. Had a quick look and seem like just the thing! Not particularly cheap but I didnt think it was a rip off either.

I bought them recently. They're hangers and they work.

I've done a substantial number of super-prime resi jobs over the years - bespoke properties for individual owners, rather than larger developments.
I was astonished in the early days at the amounts that ultra-wealthy folks spent on things.
Inured to it now - £2K on a toilet brush, £12K on a doormat, £350K on an oven (to give examples) is pretty par for the course.
This topic reminded me of a job in Belgravia when one quotation did make me think "surely that can't be right".
Was a house with an entire floor given over to the master bedroom suite - about 4,000sqft - the fitted joinery costs (wardrobes, cabinets) for the dressing rooms alone was around £1.2m for his & £1.7m for hers.
Normally don't get involved with loose furniture/fit-out budgets (i.e. beds, sofas, tables, chairs, rugs, lamps, chandeliers, curtains) - leave that to the client and their interior designer.
In this instance though, I was mistakenly sent a quote for coat hangers in connection with the dressing rooms above.
Prices ranged from £160 for a simple, thin profile hanger for shirts/blouses, £280 for larger shaped unit designed for suits, up to £430 for winter overcoats and a myriad of others in between.
They were buying hundreds of these things - the total came to just under £165K
£165,000 on coat hangers!!
Recall it was a similar amount to the outstanding mortgage balance on the house I lived in back then.
Absolute madness.

I'm in the superyacht industry and regularly see similar. You do get desensitised to it to an extent - Interior designer fees blow me away though, one of ours charges 10k per m2, so for a 70m2 salon the designer fees are 700k, and that's just their fee, before they actually buy any furniture, fixtures or fittings.I was astonished in the early days at the amounts that ultra-wealthy folks spent on things.

Anyway, weird thread drift for plastic hangers...
