Pest Repellent: Many wooden hangers are made of cedar, which naturally repels moths and keeps your clothes smelling fresh.
Shoulder Support: The thickness of a wooden hanger mimics the human shoulder, which prevents those “shoulder bumps” you get from thin wire hangers.
Conclusion: Stop Ignoring the Details

Pro Tip: If you have hangers without notches, you can “hack” them by wrapping a rubber band around the ends to create grip—but nothing beats the classic, notched wooden design for a professional-looking closet.
