Garment hanger with removable side indicator

A garment hanger includes a hook member and at least one clamp member coupled to a top crossbar member. At least one gripping finger is provided having a portion that is resiliently biased in a close spatial arrangement with a surface (preferably the top surface) of a bottom crossbar member. An end of the gripping finger is angled upward from the surface of the bottom crossbar member to facilitate insertion of the garment therebetween. The clamp member is used to engage and support a garment, such as a pair of pants. The gripping finger(s) and the bottom crossbar member are used to grasp and hold the garment therebetween. Together, these elements can be used to reduce the vertical dimension of the garment held by the garment hanger.
