Haven't ever used the clamp type hangers. Just WalMart plastic and the two home made ones for my heavy leather kilts.
The Order of the Gael deal is to make a hanger to go in their kilt case product, but it also hangs in a closet. The Order of the Gael hanger is designed to hang the kilt properly, hold a waist coat, jacket, fly plaid dealie or necktie, all on one hanger. The other kilt hangers just hold a klit hanger.
I know its a chore for me to organize even two hanger tops sticking out of a garment bag when I put a kilt and shirt in together.
They put deals on the top of the shoulder part of the hanger so the jacket doesn't slide around. Same on the crossbar. Bet I could hang my kilt hose over that crossbar thing too.
Can't remember if the dimensions are on the website - hope so - but the wire bars are 16" long and the total width at the shoulder holder part is 18 1/2" I like that wide size 'cause I'm a too well fed guy and my klits have a lot of waistline to hang, even when hung tripled.

I have never had any luck with the clamp type hangers, Ron. The doohicky always seems to bend out of place and the hook never seems to line up right. I've had them drop kilts suddenly..., so I use the plastic clips. This thingy you're talking about sounds interesting, though.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

another option
Ron that hanger looks great, I too like the idea of being able to hang the jacket or vest or a shirt on the same hanger as the kilt.
Others have asked about other options for hanging tanks and I just wanted to chime in that scotsweb sent me a 21" straight hanger http://www.scotweb.co.uk/sr_swhdr_hanger with four clips that so far is doing a great job of holding my 8 yarder.

Thanks Cerebite,
Nice looking hangar, just more expensive for less stuff. One thing I like about the Order of the Gael hangar is that the wool isn't clumped together under one clip. The kilt waist snakes around and is held by a total of six clips. Each clip on one layer of wool, not two or three. And with the other features too...only $17.00 which I think is less than 10 Pounds Sterling. And shipping out of Las Vegas.
We'll see. I ordered nine and they're in the mail now.
