Abstract: A clothes hanger may be configured with extension rods that are adapted to cause a lower portion of a garment hung on the hanger to be pulled tautly between the extension rods. The extension rods may be adapted to cooperate to impede wrinkling of a lower portion of the garment. The hanger may have a hook portion and a shoulder portion. The extension rods may be flexible and resilient, and may be coupled to the shoulder portion via respective torsion springs, or by a detent mechanism. The hanger may include a housing that contains the torsion springs or detent mechanism. At least one of the extension rods may be a telescoping rod. The rods may be hinged to the shoulder portion. The rods may be adapted to be folded up into the hanger to emulate the look of a conventional clothes hanger.
