For the really large, heavy jackets some of us have, Aerostitch offers a "shoulder Saver" hanger that is up to the job. These are the largest hangers I've ever seen and they are a full five inches wide, have a rubber-bumpered swiveling hook, and feature a nice slope so as to not damage the shoulder/sleeve juncture . And, they can even be inverted for use as a canoe in the event of flooding.
You big guys that want a hanger for your 20lb coat, this is your baby!
