Kelly,
Cape Fear Museum uses wood suit hangers that are padded with 100% polyester
batting and covered with white cotton or muslin sheeting. We last
purchased hangers from Robert H. Ham Associates, Inc. of Greensboro, NC
(800.334.6965 or www.robertham.com). Since I'm always looking for the best
price, so I also check other store fixture suppliers before I buy. Cotton
sheeting we get from friends of the museum by advertising, in our
newsletter, our interest in donations of white, 100% cotton sheets. The
polyester batting and unbleached muslin we purchase from fabric shops.
Hope this helps,
Tim Bottoms
Registrar

Subject: Re: costume collections/hangers
Hello museum-listers:
This inquiry is relevant only for those who work with costume
collections...
I need to re-order hangers for our collection. Unfortunately, we don't have
the space to have all-flat storage.
I was interested in what kind of hangers those of you with costume
collections have used. In the past, we've ordered 14", 16", 18" and 19"
contoured beige plastic "suit"-type hangers from various store fixture
suppliers. These hangers are then covered with custom-fitted washed muslin
covers.
Before I order more of the same (except I can't seem to find the 16"
hangers
anymore), I'd like to know what the rest of you use.
Please feel free to reply off-list. I have the feeling that this might not
be of interest to everyone.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
