Abstract: A hat hanger includes a hook and a crosspiece suspended by its middle from the hook. The crosspiece has ends from which depend a first pair of downwardly extending forward legs, and a second pair of downwardly extending rear legs are supported by the ends of the crosspiece and are disposed behind the first downwardly extending legs. These second downwardly extending legs have rearwardly extending bends intermediate their length and they terminate downwardly in a forwardly extending loop interconnecting lower ends of the second downwardly extending legs. The hook is swivelly connected to the crosspiece for horizontal swinging movement of the crosspiece relative to the hook. The first downwardly extending legs terminate downwardly in free ends that have enlarged protectors on them to protect a hat against damage from the free ends.
