Inflatable coat hangers - any good?
« on: July 04, 2018, 15:28:32 PM »
Years ago I bought a coat hanger from Lakeland which is made of a plastic grid which opens extra wide so you can dry woollens on it without marking the shoulders and stops the front sticking to the back when it is wet (I`d take a photo of it but I`m too hot to bother).  It even had a special hook which could be closed so it stayed on the washing line.  Unfortunately this is now falling to bits and I can`t find another anywhere.  The nearest thing seems to be inflatable hangers.

Any thoughts or recommendations please?  (I suspect some of our camping fans might be using them)

I've found these from Scotts of Stowe.

I also found these, but they are in Australia!

There is also this, but it might be overkill for woolly jumpers!

The first looks possible - the second is exactly like mine but blue - the third would be very good for my non-existent wet suit and diving gear!

There’s some on eBay but postage is high...
