Organization: Matching hangers - Part 2

Note: This is the second part of a two-part post about purchasing matching hangers for your wardrobe.  Click here for part one.

The hanger landscape is a bit overwhelming.  There are different materials, different functions, and all in different colors and textures.  So here's a little matrix that might help when you're deciding on which 'look' you want for your closet.

Hanger shopping worksheet -
Be warned, it requires a little bit of math to determine how many packages you'll need and how much it will cost.*

First, transfer the information that was compiled in the 'hanger inventory worksheet' into the first two columns.

[Fill in the first two columns]

If you want to scope out a few different schemes, you will have to fill in the same information again, like so:

[Decide what 'look' you want to investigate]

Depending on the type of hanger, it might combine some hanger types.  Like for velvet-covered hangers, the 'basic' hanger is already grippy, so I can combine two hanger types.

The next three columns are pretty easy with some internet research.  After that is the Math.  It's pretty easy.  For the 'Total packages' column take the number needed and divide it by the number per package.  If the quotient has decimals, round up.  The equation looks like this:

• Number needed / Number per package = Total packages

For the 'Total price' column, multiply the package price with the total packages.  Here's the equation:

• Package price x Total packages = Total price

[Don't be scared]

After filling out the rest of the chart, you can add up the total price column and find out how much your matching hanger suite will cost.  For me, it eliminated the black velvet hangers entirely since it was so much more expensive than any other option.

I hope this is clear, and I hope it's helpful.

Oh.  The last two columns; Total hangers and $ per hanger aren't really relevant to the actual decision, but I thought it might be interesting to know.

*I tried to put calculations into the pdf to make it easier, but it didn't work at all and was a huge waste of time to boot.  If anyone can enlighten me on how to use 'forms' in Adobe Acrobat, I'd really appreciate it.
