Abstract: A clamp type garment hanger including a garment grip construction is disclosed. The hanger includes at least one clamp having a pair of hinged clamp members, each of which includes an inner surface. A spring clip biases the inner surfaces of the clamp members towards each other to clamp a garment therebetween. The opposed inner surfaces of the clamp members define a serpentine or generally S-shaped passage within which the article to be suspended is clamped. A plurality of opposed, elongated projections extend outwardly from the inner surfaces of each of said clamp members into the S-shaped passage.
