Claim:
A unitary molded clothes hanger with a pants holding device said cloths hanger comprising: a hook; an upper component having a first and second arm extending downwardly and outwardly from the bottom of the hook and having outer ends; a crosspiece between the ends of said arms; a pair of vertical bridge members with each bridge member extending between one of the arms and the crosspiece adjacent an end of one of the arms; at least two pairs of substantially rigid horizontal fingers, with each finger attached to and extending inwardly from one of the bridge members, and wherein each pair of fingers is offset both vertically and horizontally from each other and from the cross piece; the fingers of each pair being in axial alignment with each other and having an open space between the inner ends of the fingers to aid in placing the pants legs over the fingers to retain the pants in suspension in frictional engagement between the fingers and the crosspiece, and wherein, due to the horizontal offset between the fingers and the crosspiece, none of the fingers lies in a direct vertical plane extending through the crosspiece so that after the pants are draped over each pair of fingers the bottom end of the pant legs are urged against the crosspiece to aid in the retention of the pant legs from sliding off the fingers.
