A plastic hanger (10) having clips located at opposite ends of the hanger is described. Each clip (36) comprises grip plates (14, 16) hingedly joined to each other, which grip plates can be forced together to clamp a garment therebetween as shown in the figure. To generate the clamping action of the grip plates, the hanger provides cuneiform members (28) formed on the grip plate that can be wedged into an angular recess (30) to close the grip plates together. Teeth (32) are provided on the cuneiform members and along an interior surface of the angular recess (30) to lock the two together and hold the cuneiform member (28) deeply wedged inside the angular recess. Pushing down on the grip plate takes the teeth (32) out of engagement, and accordingly, the cuneiform member can be unwedged and retracted from the angular recess to release the garment. As an option, thumb rests can be added to the grip plates for better leverage. Stubbles (40) can be incorporated into contact surfaces of the grip plates (14, 16) for more contact with the garment.
