This wood pant hanger is a 15" flat hanger in a clear varnish finish with chrome hardware — built for hanging pants, trousers, and slacks on retail racks and store rods. The flat body profile keeps the pant folded cleanly at the bar without the crease bulge that happens when a contoured hanger body pushes the fabric outward at the fold point. Chrome hardware, 1/2" thick, box of 100. Custom logo engraving available — call to discuss minimum quantities and lead times.

Why a Flat Body Profile Works Better for Pants
Suit and jacket hangers use a contoured body — the curved shoulder shape supports the garment's armhole and distributes the jacket's weight across the shoulder seam. Pants do not need that. A pant folds over the bar at the crease line and hangs by the weight of the fabric below. A contoured body at the top of a pant hanger does nothing for the garment and adds bulk to the hanger head that takes up extra rack space per unit.
A flat body pant hanger solves that. The flat 1/2" profile keeps the hanger head slim, which means more pants fit per linear foot of rack space than on a contoured hanger of the same bar width. For stores that carry a high volume of pants, trousers, and slacks across multiple styles and sizes, that rack density difference adds up across the full store layout.
15 Inch Bar Width: Sizing for Pants and Trousers
Pant hanger bar width determines how the trouser hangs at the fold. A 15" bar suits standard adult trouser waistbands — the fold at the bar keeps the trouser crease centered without pulling the fabric toward the hanger ends. At 15", the hanger covers most standard adult pants from slim-cut to regular-fit without the fabric overhang that a wider bar would create on narrow-cut trousers.
For wider trousers — pleated dress pants, wide-leg styles, and relaxed-fit menswear — the 16" or 17" pant hanger in this collection may be a better fit. Check the trouser waistband width and the desired fold position against the 15" bar before ordering in quantity for a specific style.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wood pant hanger and how does it work?
A wood pant hanger is a flat wooden hanger with a horizontal bar across the bottom. Pants fold over the bar at the crease line and hang by the weight of the fabric. The bar holds the trouser straight without clips or clamps — the fold and the fabric weight keep the pant in position on the hanger. This style is the standard pant display format in most US retail stores for dress pants, chinos, and casual trousers.
What is the difference between a pant hanger with a bar and one with clips?
A bar hanger folds the trouser over a horizontal rod — the pant hangs by the fold. It is compact, keeps the crease centered, and is the most common format in US retail pant display. A clips hanger grips the waistband at two points with adjustable metal clips — the pant hangs full-length without a fold. Clips work better for heavier fabrics or styles where a fold crease would mark the material. Bar hangers keep the rack tighter and are easier to load quickly during restocking. Both are available in this wood hangers collection.
How many pant hangers come in a box?
One box contains 100 hangers. At $209.00 per box, the per-unit cost works out to $2.09 per hanger — the standard wholesale rate for a flat wood pant hanger at this quality level.
