Care For Your (Denim/ Wool/ Cotton)

[Giles]

I thought they looked quite good.  But expensive…

[steelworker]

@Finkster:

agreed … expensive hipster nonsense  ::)

Just another somebody trying to cash-in.

[Max Power]

At least the testimonials are fun to read.

That's only if you back the Kickstarter…

A fair percentage of Kickstarters that are over funded are forced to fold as they don't have the infrastructure to support the 'demand'... Or production > delivery is blown out.

Forty days remaining and fifteen thousand over, don't count on seeing those $8 hangers within this year.

... To be honest, I just hate Kickstarter.

[steelworker]

Ah.  i get your point.

Agree, more hipster horseshit!

What's wrong just using these cheap wooden hangers?

Nothing, that's what!

[HighOnFire]

^ this one looks exactly like the ones my girlfriend bought from ikea recently … and they suck ... big time!
One broke in half as it couldn't handle a fully soaked 666-19L (the "arms" are glued together where the hook is skrewed in) all the others have very sharp edges on the cutouts and at the end of the "arms" (i remove my flannels from them carefully because i dont want them to rip).

[No.88]

Hmm. You should have used the more expensive Lignum Vitae hangers when hanging a soaking wet pair of 666-19L's. Everyone knows that.

The pics of 'im sitting at a laptop in some workshop surrounded by wood have me in stitches…

Didn't know if anyone posted this, but saw this on Heddels FB and I am probably going to fund it and get some new hangers. I normally just use my mid loop and hang them like that in my closet, but for the cost of $45(says $36USD) I can get 6 jean hangers, or for $85(says $68 USD) get 12 of them….I like.

Or you could buy these for like 2 dollars a pop at your local hardware store…

I think they're kinda cool.  Normal hangers don't work well with heavy denim, especially when it's wet.  This seems like a better design.

That said, I probably wouldn't ever buy any, but I can see why others would.

[Finkster]

I'm a big fan of the '@den1mhead - system' ..

… but my quantity of denim is comparatively humble.

^ boss

Yeah, for me it's an inelegant solution to a problem I don't really have. S hooks do a great job for me already.

[BloodnThunder]

I do like the jean hanger idea and may end up funding….  But S hooks work plenty good for me, along with one pair getting the honor of the Self Edge iron hanger.

^^  And yes, when you own enough denim you could open your own jean shop this is a very clean method.

No issues hanging my wet 301s' on cheap wooden hangers.

[Cutlasshound]

I just use a couple of cheap small meat hooks / produce hooks and hang from the loops. Cost fuck all and do the job.

Yes, S hooks work well. Pretty much what I use now as well.

8 gauge rounded s-hooks in stainless steel from the hardwear store. 10 for $10, and Robert's your fathers brother.
