Preferring a dresser to a closet for storing clothes, we understand that we might be in the minority. A small closet is the biggest reason for our partiality to dresser drawers, but the Z-Hanger might just help swing the vote...
The Z-hanger allows shirts to lie on a hanger just as they would your body. They've taken out the hard angle design of traditional hangers and incorporated more of a slope. In addition, Z-hangers claim to end collar stretching with their unique z design. Not to mention they look sleek and organized when hanging in a closet--a must for small spaces. The company offers nine styles of the Z-Hanger so there's bound to be one that fits your design style.

"everyday hangers" don't stretch the necks of your shirts if you're smart enough to put it on the hanger through the bottom of the shirt instead of doing it like the guy in the picture.
How're these really any different than any other wooden hanger? I have lots of those and they've got that same shoulder slope.
Errr. You can get regular hook hangers with proper slope and width too.
And never, ever stretch the neck over the hanger like the first guy is doing. If you have a narrow-necked shirt (that can't be unbuttoned, again unlike the first guy), you put the hanger in through the shirt's bottom.
/\/\ Ditto
I don't get the concept either.
(Pic of the guy above: Unbutton the darned shirt!)
You can wood hangers for IKEA for something like $3 for a dozen!
Goodness gracious...that poor guy! Where is his brain?
Also, you shouldn't hang delicate sweaters no matter what hangers you have.
haha I love products that try to make everyday things look impossible to use...too bad Billy Mays can't sell this
I do not understand how these are different from regular wooden hangers. The point seems unnecessary.
God love him at his age and still doesn't know how to properly use a hanger
I don't really see much difference. I buy plastic hangers at Target (not like the ones above) and they have a slope. And I still don't get how the Z affects anything.
"unique z design" bwa ha ha ha
seems like a product that doesn't need to exist
i really don't understand this, the hanger looks exactly the same except the metal part is at a weird angle? how does that change anything.
if you don't want to put the hanger through the bottom of your shirt, you can also just tilt the hanger vertically, put the entire thing through the neckhole and pull up and rotate it so the hook comes back out. it's what i do every time.
I'm sorry, but it seems like the text and pictures were taken directly from an infomercial. This hanger isn't innovative and doesn't help my apartment. Instead of the infomercial how about telling us the pros and cons of different hanger shapes and materials like wood, padded, plastic, those odd velvet ones?
I believe the "Z" design was created on that hanger so you CAN insert the hanger through the neck of the sweater like the guy is trying to do with the plastic hanger. Somehow the zig-zag shape makes it easier?
BTW fold your sweaters and put them in a drawer, or on a shelf. They will stretch on any hanger and you will get puffy spike-like dents on your shoulders. Bleck!

I hate "neck stretch" but I wouldn't buy these. I don't see a real solution here. My solution is to fold the shirt and hang it over the pants bar rather than hang it by the collar. You get fewer folds and wrinkles than completely folding it for dresser/cabinet storage and you still eliminate the neck stretch.
Who ever invented this failed high school physics. The only "stretching" forces that affect the shirt are those from the part of the hanger it actually touches: the slope of the arms of the hanger, the coefficient of friction of the material used, the width of the material used... to the shirt, there is no affect from the part of the hanger that attaches to the bar. No matter how many loop or twist one puts in it, to the shirt it is simply an upward vectored force balancing the downward vectored force of the shirt's weight.
