Primarily, I was looking for WHITE velvet hangers and these do the trick. They are slightly gray, but mostly have a white overall appearance.  They are thin so they will do well in my son's college closet which is limited in size. The only drawback: these hangers have a crossbar which is NOT sturdy.  I think they will hold a pair of khaki pants, but forget about folding jeans over the crossbar; the crossbar is wiggily and sort of weak.
