Among the good things to come out of the Ask Andy About Clothes forum was a project to design and source a great hanger for suits that would be available to AAAC members. Just as shoe trees help preserve shoes, quality hangers help preserve a suit’s shoulder construction and drape. Hundreds of thousands of hangers later, The Hanger Project has turned into a full-time job for founder Kirby Allison. It offers customers around the world high quality hangers for shirts and trousers as well as suits, and has recently begun offering shoe trees.
Like other Web-based businesses, the Hanger Project is able to deliver a more finely tuned product line for men with tailored clothing than any retailer could ever stock. For example, the suit hanger is available in three widths—17.0, 18.5, and 20.0 inches—that provide shoulder support for all jacket sizes. Suit hanger pricing begins at $22.
The Hanger Project ships by the postal service so the cost is reasonable. Shipping to Europe for six hangers is $45, or less than 20% of the total purchase.

Items I am sorely lacking are shoe trees and proper hangers. They look like great hangers - thanks for the info.
Happy President's Day.
Will, do you know where these hangers are made?
I bought hangers just like the one you displayed from Brooks Brothers. They have the wide ends to emulate the shoulder, and they are wood with the Brooks engraving on the bottom. I bought them at a factory outlet store for $1.00 a piece. I bought the entire box, and I got 45 hangers for $45.00. I will never get that lucky again!
