Alright, let me repeat: they are not curved, they're flat. They take the same space as the cleaner's wire hangers with the tube thingy for pants. They take a little more space than wire hangers for shirts (w/o the the tube thingy).

Your choice. I used to be like you but now, I like transferring them to the thin wooden hangers. Browsing through the closet for shirts and pants in the morning is just more pleasant. YMMV. I'm not the one who started this thread asking for hanger recommendations btw...

I have some similar to this that work well but they have a clasp to hold them in place. Tjose I would be careful handeling so the trousers don't slip and fall off to the side.

I hate pant clamps. Of course I don't really have the room for them either.

The problem I have with that design of hanger is with fuller trousers I can't get them to halve on the bar. I appreciate the link, tho.

+1 these are what I use, and they're flat.

I use them for trou and shirts. I use nice heavy hangers for sportcoats, suits and other jackets.

My cords, cotton pants and jeans i fold/stack.

I have a closet full of these, they work fine for me and are somewhat cheap.
