Abstract
Abstract In a garment hanger for use while traveling, said hanger incorporates a handle which is pivotally mounted to the integral inclined portions and the bottom rod of said hanger through the use of a fastener, and a retainer is also pivotally mounted to said fastener, and when turned to the side, it is useful for supporting another standard hanger upon which a shirt or other article of apparel is supported. An additional rod is arranged parallel to said bottom rod, disposed slightly upwardly therefrom, so that as a pair of pants are folded over said additional rod and draped around the bottom rod they will be retained securely in place and avoid untimely slippage.
