Hangers, designed to mimic the shape of human shoulders and facilitate the hanging of garments like coats, jackets, sweaters, shirts, blouses, or dresses in a manner that prevents wrinkles, have a history that is often debated. Some sources attribute a forerunner of the clothes hanger to President Thomas Jefferson. However, evidence to definitively support this claim is limited. The development of the modern hanger evolved over time. O.A. North of New Britain, Connecticut, patented a coat hook design in 1869, which is considered an inspiration for later hanger designs. The shoulder-shaped wire hanger received a patent in 1903 for a wire garment hanger. This design, patented by James H. Batts of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is very similar to the shoulder-shaped wire hanger that is widely used today

▪ Personalized or custom-made
▪ Limited production or one-of-a-kind
