Recommendations for a clothes valet/suit stand?

[jlondon75]

Hey folks,

Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for a clothes valet/suit stand? Many years ago, I had a great one that I picked up at an estate sale when I lived in CA. I gifted it to a relative when I moved out east 20 years ago, and have off-and-on looked for a replacement ever since. There are any number of options available online, but I can't tell quality from crap from most photos or online descriptions, and/or the jacket hangars look too small or the wrong shape. So, any thoughts or advice?

I've contemplated trying to find a local woodworker/craftsman to make one for me, but I keep thinking that would be cost prohibitive in my area (greater Washington, DC suburbs).

Not cheap, but very well made.

Definitely not cheap, but it does look solid. How long is the contoured hangar? Based on the picture, it seems too short for my size 48R jacket.
