The hanger that fits the person — a modular system that widens for larger frames and grows with your kids.

The problem
Hangers are built to one narrow standard
A standard hanger assumes a standard shoulder. Too narrow for larger-framed people, it drops shirts into the closet with stretched necks and shoulder bumps. Too fixed for kids, it's replaced size after size as they grow. Both are the same failure: a fixed object asked to fit changing people.
The product
As printed, on the rail
Matte PETG in safety orange and slate grey. Next to a wire hanger, the difference in shoulder support is the whole point.
Assembly · CAD view
Ten components. Watch them seat.
An inspection view of the production geometry — scroll and the hanger assembles itself, segment by segment, around the central body. Drag to rotate at any point. This is raw CAD geometry, not a product render — the photography above shows the printed product's true finish.

The mechanism
Three parts. One system.
A central piece, a threaded hanger hook, and attachable arm extensions. Segments join on tapered dovetail joints — self-aligning under load — and lock with embedded magnets.
Tapered dovetail joints
The taper does the structural work: the more weight a garment puts on the arms, the tighter the joint seats. Geometry carries the load — the magnets just keep everything home when it's empty.
Magnet-secured
Embedded magnets at every interface snap segments into alignment and hold the assembly together off the rail. Strong enough to trust, easy enough to reconfigure in seconds.
How it adjusts
Add a segment. Remove a segment. Done.
Sizing up is a five-second job: pull an arm free of its dovetail, click an extension into the chain, and reseat it. No tools, no threads to strip, no new hanger to buy.
Broad shoulders? Run the full segment set. Kid's closet? Start short and add a segment each growth spurt — the same hanger from age four to fourteen.
