What is a "hanger"?

A hanger is a tool or object designed to support, store, and organize clothing or fabric items. Hangers are typically made of metal, plastic, or wood and come in a range of shapes and sizes. The most common type of hanger is the wire hanger, which is often used by dry cleaners or for temporary storage, but there are also hangers designed for specific garments such as suits, coats, or pants.
