Abstract
A clothes hanger with a storable hook provides convenient suspension of a garment therefrom without being limited as to length by a neck opening of the garment. In a preferred embodiment, a clothes hanger has a hook portion which is rotatable relative to a body portion, and which is pivotably storable in the body portion. The body portion is hollow and includes two sides which, when joined together, permit both rotatable and pivotable attachment of the hook portion to the body portion and form an opening through which the hook portion may be inserted into the body portion.
