Fabric hangers, in my mind, conjure up knitting grannies and stale, musty closets in country cottages.

My architect friend who grew up in Florida and now lives in Los Angeles refuses to draw coat closets (or front hall closets) into his plans, because he swears no one wears a coat in those warm climates.
