A molded plastic garment hanger comprising a hook, a shoulder region extending from the hook, and arms extending from said shoulder region, said shoulder region having a cross-sectional configuration which reinforces said shoulder region, said arms each having at least a U-shaped cross-sectional configuration to increase the strength of the arms, said cross-sectional configuration extending from one arm to the other along a continuous or uninterrupted path which extends below the shoulder region and is separated therefrom by a generally planar region extending continuously below said shoulder region to the arms of the hanger;

• wherein said cross-sectional configuration of said shoulder region includes a depressed region having a floor portion across the shoulder region;
• said molded plastic garment hanger further having a front edge and a rear edge;
• said hook having a central web and reinforcing flange means, said floor portion of said depressed region extending continuously at an angular orientation from the front edge plane towards the rear edge plane from said depressed region to a central web of said hook so as to reduce regions of weakness between said shoulder region and said hook.
