How's your closet setup?

[willyto]

It is definitely daunting at times. I have a long list of items that need to be fixed, adjust, altered etc. I've had jackets sit in my closet for years before making it to the alterations tailor.



I'll have to count. suits and sport coats, last time I counted was in the 60s.



I can picture it. I'm seeing something rather bulky and cumbersome.



This. I don't have bespoke stuff. I haven't my thin hangers do fine for my needs.



Same here.



Wow! This is beautiful.

I do hang my all my cotton/denim/seersucker jackets like that. It actually isn't bulky or cumbersome. There are 6 jackets here including 2 denim chore coats, 2 Norfolks with a canvas waistcoat and 2 sack coats. In the summer the vintage hanger holds 5 seersucker sack coats and waistcoats.

My ties are hanging on two vintage hangers that allow you to remove any tie without messing anything, you then leave it at the top.

There are seven suits hanging here and all need alterations. In fact the three Cathcart linen suits have been sitting for 3 years because the pandemic hit just after I bought them, @EFV brown suit reminded me that I need to get around to it with my alterations tailor(My grandma)

It is a bit of a mess and not pretty... I have most of my vintage stuff at my family's home in different closets in storage.

I bought quite a few hangers from The Hanger Project right before they ended up their UK distribution and I got the travel ones with the trousers. They are really nice for my needs.

This is just a bit of what I have. My shirts are always folded at the top of the closet and so is my knitwear, shoes are at the bottom or spread around the studio because I'm always working on them. Scarfs, gloves, socks, underwear are all in a drawer by the entrance.

Great idea AAS.

Of course I don’t have as many stuff as most gents here, but I like the closet.

General view. Sliding doors. My clothing is on the right side. On the extreme right, shoe rack.
Shirts, polos, knitwear, are in the drawers.

How many jackets? I have to ask. 😂😂😂😂

You have enough clothes to supply an entire vintage habadashery. 😂😂😂

Total jackets (suit jackets, sport coats, dinner jackets), I counted 77. There are four or five more I didn’t count that I’ve been meaning to sell.

A murder of crows, a parliament of owls, an unkindness of ravens. This is called an embarrassment of coats.

A smothering of tailoring

Cool thread! I'm currently upgrading my system to another room in my house. I built a tie cabinet a few years ago.

Many of those ties are hideous 😀 but the rack is a genius method of storage - simple, elegant and ergonomic!

I live in a <1000 sq ft condo so I'm envious of what some of y'all have!

Here's my main closet:

Spoiler

I had this built for my shoes from a guy I know in town. It serves as shoe storage + a media console in the bedroom. I plan to cull through my shoe storage and sell some soon and get rid of boxes + bags after I do that.

Spoiler

This is the "hallway" closet where I store some larger things and keep rain coats and others that are easier to throw on for a trip to the store.

Spoiler

It's funny looking at how much SF (primarily NMWA and, to some extent, Epaulet) has really defined my recent purchases (and things I keep).

I love this thread idea. I am recently married and my wife moved in to my place to give us some time to look for and find a larger home sometime next year. In the meantime, I surrendered my walk-in closet to her and set up this IKEA closet solution in the bedroom for my own clothes. Needless to say, I had to get rid of a lot of items to make this work. I'm also using some space in a storage closet that we have in the garage which is where I have suits, large coats and off-season clothes. When we move into a larger home, I plan to expand this concept into a spare bedroom similar to @R.O. Thornhill in a previous post. I'm enjoying the zen-like simplicity though. IKEA is out-of-stock on some of the shelves so I cut some plywood to size.

Really like this. Very clean.

I'm moving in January and going from one rack and shelf to four floor to ceiling doors worth of storage. Cannot weight to let me clothes breathe and not have a pile 12 high of hoodies.

Will be coming back here though for inspiration.

Guest bedroom slowing morphing into an ad hoc closet, to the point now that anything new requires something else to be donated or sold, although I could move to a larger home an increase my wardrobe, also.

Nice stuff in here!

Some people collect baseball cards. Some people collect salt and pepper shakers. I like to think that I'm a collector of menswear. I don't get to wear it all numerous times a year, but it's nice to have it. I don't need 77 jacket.

It appears that you, my friend, are a collector of braces. Wow.

Good luck but errrr … this might not be the best place to confess to owning twelve hoodies! 😎😁
