I haven’t seen these in stores, but my grandparents have tons of them. Left overs from the 70’s, I’d imagine.

I am not sure why I even opened this thread.

You people are all spoiled :mad:

I don’t have any closets ☹

They’re not exactly metal cascading hangers, they’re metal hangers with a soft, slightly clingy fuzzy layer on the outside and these little metal-inside-fuzzy-outside hooks of a sort that goes over the “neck” of one hanger and you can hang another hanger off it. They’re not ideal - when you root through the closet, sometimes the swinging of the clothes pulls lower hangers off their higher supports - but they’re pretty good.

Got 'em at Target, and lately they’ve been on a clearance endcap, so they might be discontinuing them.

I just looked online: they’re called [Huggable Hangers](http://www.target.com/Shirt-Huggable-Hanger-5-pk-Black/dp/B001GKARJC/sr=1-6/qid=1235833719/ref=sr_1_6/187-4012852-8664336?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Ahuggable%20hangers&page=1). Here are the [hooks](http://www.target.com/Huggable-Hanger-Mini-Hook-6-pk/dp/B001GI2JR2/sr=1-5/qid=1235833719/ref=sr_1_5/187-4012852-8664336?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Ahuggable%20hangers&page=1). They also offer [clips](http://www.target.com/Huggable-Hanger-Finger-Clip-6-pk/dp/B001GI278S/sr=1-8/qid=1235833719/ref=sr_1_8/187-4012852-8664336?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Ahuggable%20hangers&page=1)that you can put on any of the hangers to turn it into a pants/skirt hanger, which is nice. I love modular systems!  
(Yes, I’m kind of a closet organization system junkie. I foolishly keep thinking they’re going to keep my stuff neat and tidy when the real root of the problem is that I don’t do my laundry. Sadly, even the best hangers don’t load themselves!)

I can totally id with you but I’ve now gone the other way. I am so on top of the laundry it’s become neurotic!

I get some spam for them once in a while, but haven’t bothered to try them, since as a single male I have a ridiculous amount of closet space available to me.
