Nakata Hangers
Japanese wooden hangers engineered to protect bespoke tailoring.
Japanese wooden hangers engineered to protect bespoke tailoring.
Not all wooden hangers are created equal. Nakata hangers are engineered in Japan to preserve the shape and longevity of tailored clothing, combining precise shoulder geometry, durable hardwood, and a refined finish.
For those wanting to protect their tailoring, a shaped, quality hanger is an absolute necessity; without it, jackets will become limp and lifeless.
In our position of pressing for the majority of London's bespoke tailoring houses, we see a variety of hangers from different suppliers. So far, we have not seen any hangers of a higher quality than Nakata's range.
With wide shaped shoulders and a thick felt-covered trouser bar, the Standard Suit hanger from Nakata is the clear staple to build your wardrobe around.

If your have the height to allow hanging the full length of your trousers, these clamps are a clear choice. Clamping the hems of your trousers allows their own weight to gently pull out the creases behind the knees.

These differ slightly from the Standard Suit hangers in having a thicker neck shape, making them ideal for overcoats that have been cut to fit over your jackets. These Premium Suit Hangers are available individually, rather than in sets, given that you are likely to have fewer overcoats than suits.

Naturally these hangers are available to buy online and have delivered to you, but we also hold stock in our store. Next time you are visiting, we would be happy to show you the hangers in person, giving you the chance to feel the weight of their quality for yourself.
When you drop your tailoring for care services, we can also return your items on Nakata hangers, protecting them right from the moment they come off the pressing boards.
