5 Reasons Why a Wood Suit Hanger is the Ultimate Storage Tool

A luxury suit deserves more care and attention to storage than your average department store t-shirt. 

Hangers made of thin wire or flimsy plastic can quickly deflate the padded shoulders in your suit jacket or warp the delicate shoulders of your dress shirt. 

Not a good look, especially when you consider that moderately priced three-piece suits run anywhere between $200 and $999! Premium, designer suits often run north of $1000. 

Your suit is an investment, and today we’re going to discuss why a wooden suit hanger is ideal for storing your luxury suits. We’ll even splash in a few tips on how to store your luxury clothing items.

Let’s dig in!

Suit Storage Essentials

Whether you’re redoing your closet or storing seasonal dress clothing, knowing how to properly store your items is essential to their longevity. 

Part of curating a luxurious wardrobe is the organization and storage of your pieces. 

Let’s take a look:

• Before storing, be sure to wash and press your dress shirts and clean your suit pants and jacket according to the washing instructions on the label. Depending on the fabric, it will likely need to be dry cleaned.

• Store your items in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight

• Use a wooden suit hanger to maintain the shape of your suit

• Store your suit in a Butler Luxury Suit cover for added protection. Learn more about why here!

Let’s discuss a few reasons why wooden suit hangers are the essential storage tool for your dress clothing:

1) Wooden suit hangers are ideal for delicate fabrics

Wire hangers and plastic hangers are easily accessible, especially wire hangers. Indeed, you likely have a substantial collection of them right now in your closet if you’re a frequent visitor to the dry cleaners. 

However, wired and plastic hangers aren’t great for your delicate knit vests, sweaters, or shirts. They have a tendency to stretch out collars and create droopy shoulders, not to mention the risk of rust and tearing in wired hangers! No thank you!

Wood suit hangers won’t warp your clothing and look much sharper in your closet!

2) Suit hangers help your clothing stay sharp

Shoulder flared jackets are ultra-sleek, especially in women’s fashion. To ensure that the flare stays sharp, be sure to use a wooden suit hanger. This goes double for men’s wide shoulder suit jackets - nothing more dull-looking than a drooped suit!

The team at Butler Luxury has an assortment of women’s suit hangers to choose from, we recommend the gorgeous and opulent Rosewood Tailor Made suit hanger. The luxurious velvet trim and lush color make this a perfect addition (really the star of the show) to any wardrobe!

3) The importance of a trouser bar

The anatomy of a wooden hanger would not be complete without the trusty trouser bar. A good trouser bar is essential for dress pants that are ready to wear whether they’ve been in storage 1 day or 60 days. 

When shopping for wood hangers, try and find ones with velvet or other soft material over the trouser bar. Not only is this a luxe look for your closet, but it also helps to prevent slipping and creasing. 

Bonus points if the hanger has a double trouser bar like this one from Butler Luxury! Now that is efficiency.

4) Wood suit hangers are made of tough stuff!

Wood hangers can last for years if you take proper care of them. Rosewood and cedarwood hangers in particular are strong and durable, which is excellent for heavy coats and suit jackets. 

Cedar especially even leaves a nice scent that may help repel moths and other critters that might want to make a meal of your clothing!

5) Wood hangers fit most pieces of clothing.

While ideal for suit jackets of all shapes and sizes, wooden hangers are perfect for women’s dress clothing like dresses, blouses, and seasonal coats. 

Caught in the rain? No problem. Wood hangers are also great for drying clothing and will help your garment keep its shape. Say farewell to unsightly collar slumps and shoulder bumps!
