ABSTRACT:
A garment hanger for washing, drying and storing garments including a hanger body having a neck supporting portion and shoulder supporting portions extending outwardly from opposite sides of the neck supporting portion. The shoulder supporting portions have a width separating the opposite sides of the garment by an amount which will distend the same in an open condition at its lower end. A hook structure is coupled to the hanger body and formed for hanging of the hanger from a support device. The neck supporting portion extends upwardly from the shoulder supporting portions to hold the garment neck in an open condition. The neck opening or channel is substantially unobstructed and of a sufficient size for washing of the interior of the garment and to allow convection air flow through the neck portion while drying the garment. A process of convection flow drying of the garment also is disclosed.
