12 Days of Dappered #7 – Good Hangers or a Valet Stand

.
It’ll be here before you know it.  So if you’re in need of a few ideas on what to give (or in some cases, what to put on your own list) this year, this is the place to be for the next couple weeks.  Our annual 12 days of Dappered covers one item each week-day between now and December 11th.  That’ll leave some time for shipping if you’re the last minute type.  All will be reasonably affordable.  See the growing archive here.

The excitement level on this gift has a bit of a time-release factor.  It’s not the sexiest gift in the world, but they’re a necessity that most guy’s just don’t keep enough of on hand.

Like a bra, a hanger offers proper support.  Proper support reduces the unfortunate effects the earth’s gravitational pull can have on a vulnerable shape over time.  Hanging your blazers, sportcoats, and suit jackets on these wide-end hangers keeps those shoulders… “perky”.  This is what these hangers are made to do.  And most of us fellas are almost always limping along with one or two flimsy substitutes from the dry cleaner (y’know, the standard wire pants hangers with the floppy plastic shoulder “roof” on top.)

Look at those delts.  Beware.  Some hangers say “suit hangers” but they don’t have wide ends like these.

Try Bed Bath & Beyond (what a nice little Saturday), Amazon, or even off-price department stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, & Ross.  These wide shoulder things run between $5 and $10 a pop.

Meanwhile, if this person is firmly atop your “nice” list, and he’s the type who likes to plan ahead, consider a classic Men’s Valet.  Holds all of his gear for the next day neatly, so he can set it out before he turns in.

Winsome – $61.99 (via Amazon) Brooks Bros. USA Made Cedar Valet – $105, Kings Brand – $52.99 (via Amazon)
