Help me find open pant hangers of a proper material?

I really want to get this style of pant hanger:


The issue I'm encountering is that the only options I've found thus far for the material that touches the pants are:
- Cheap rubber/vinyl. Issue: do not trust my vintage/collector pants to constantly be in contact with it.
- Metal. Issue: RUST. Even a slight amount will be death for the pants.

I would love to find ones made of wood or something else reliable. The closest I've come are these:


which are made in Germany of supposedly high-end materials, but I was just informed by them that the contact material is PVC, which is exactly what I want to avoid as it off-breathes and is not recommended for garment preservation.

Lastly, I am set on this type of hanger as the other options (metal clamps, regular hangers, wide wooden clamp, etc.) all have drawbacks for my particular setup and plans.

Thanks you so much, all!

Wow. Be careful what you wish for! You, sir, have offered exactly what I’m after. But at ~$40/hanger after conversion and post, I’ll need to slim down my wardrobe to fit in the poor house I’d find myself in :). I really appreciate the link but I need something more realistic for my budget (< $5 per). Thanks though!

They’re an affiliate vendor and have a promo code in their thread for 10% off. Not sure how many you need but if you order 7 sets of 3 you also get to free shipping. They end up being about $20 each. Buy once, cry once.

(Bumped because I believe original was up right around when the site went down for upgrades, and as I didn't get a workable answer, was hoping now that all is humming along I might get more feedback...)

Thanks you so much, all!

Easily. I’m a performer, dancer, and vintage collector. My WWII uniforms alone constitute about 20 pairs. Vintage trousers another 20-30. And I’m not stopping anytime soon!
Anyways. My suggestion was going to be the same as @Jmr928
