Pleated pants - can i just hang them normally ?

[philippeb]

I couldent find an answer to my question in detail when i used google, so please bear over with me asking such a mundane question.

I have a wardrobe with a pants rack like this one

But i am not entirely sure if i should hang pleated pants on this.
Normally i avoid pleated pants because the pleats seem so fragile to me, but i would like to give them a try, so i thought if they can hang here without problems i was good to go.

Thanks

Pleats are not fragile. You can hang pleated trousers in the same way as flat-front trousers.

Okay.
That might have come out wrong.
I was merely wondering if, lets say i hang the pants and they are not folded where the pleates are pressed, would i have to take them to a drycleaner again, or can the pleates resist being jung up crooked.

It is really hard for me to explain but i hope you get the gist of where i am trying to get with this.
I dont wanna stress over hanging them perfectly evry time.

Assuming we're talking about woolen trousers, the pleats should be quite durable. The question is, Have you ever had pleats destroyed from improper hanging?

Well, i never bought pleated pants before.
But i am not worried about "destroying" them.
I knlw how they are sewn and i know they wouldent break.
But i assume that if i hang them impropperly the press fold would go crooked and they would look stupid until i got them to a drycleaner.

The thing is, i am a university student.
I love to dress well, but i have to keep my funds in mind as well.
Thats why i dont want to invest in somthing that could become expensive to keep in shape.

But as far as i can tell here this wont be a problem i assume ?

If you are worried about this, then I suggest getting a heavy, rather than lightweight, wool dress pants. Heavy cloth drapes better, resists wrinkles, and can take a press well. Not that this is much of an issue to begin with.

Another one over thinking a non-existent problem.

Pleats are NOT fragile
Cannot be destroyed
Do not magically disappear for no good reason when hung up
They do not "go crooked'

Do the creases fall out gratuitously?
