Abstract
A clothes hanger having a hook section, a hanger section, and a flexible section, configured to connect the hook section and the hanger section. The hanger section having first and second shoulders that include respective first and second tabs at respective lateral ends of the shoulders. The lateral ends are separated by a space without a pants rod connecting the lateral ends. The flexible section includes a strap with a length and a flexibility to allow moving the hook section above or below the hanger section to be positioned in a symmetry plane of the hanger section while the hook section and the hanger section are connected by the flexible section.
