Hangers as a Kid

My earliest memory of using hangers as a kid is a memory of hanging up my turtleneck shirts. So it was wintertime. Common daily attire would be corduroy pants or jeans (most likely chance for ultimate warmth) along with a sweater or sweatshirt overtop a matching turtleneck, which was most likely plain white.

These turtleneck shirts fit just right on the smaller size plastic hangers & we also used them for the pants we'd hang up. Back then the few pairs we'd not stow in a pants drawer in the bottom of our dresser, the few pairs that Mom had us keeping "nice enough" that we'd fold over, maybe using those special, "dress pants" crease lines, & fold over the base of the plastic hanger where, as long as we wore them frequently enough & they didn't sit on the hanger all season long, then there'd not be another crease around the point of the pant's knee.

This was sometimes how we'd know when we'd outgrown a pair of pants, simply didn't prefer a pair anymore, or maybe they didn't work well with any of our shirts & sweaters & it might just be time to pass them along to the donation center; besides, with an added, unsightly crease what kid's gonna wanna deal with trying to wear it anyway? 😂

These come in pink, blue, & white (Amazon link as well as the image link in the top left). Great colors for girl, or boy, or anyone; perhaps a house guest 😄. In our house, we had white for girls & brown for boys. I'm pretty sure those were the only to color options at the time 😉.
