Default headrest clothes hanger attachment?

has anyone else experienced the clothes hooks in the back seat and how pathetic they are? it's way too small and the angle it is in, it can barely keep a single hanger without falling.

does anyone know of any other option out there? i thought there was some sort of attachment you can get that goes on the back of the headrest? thanks.

There is an attachment that they sell. Not sure if I saw it on the Sewell site or Ltuned site. It's over $100 though. Good luck.

i usually just hook it on the back seat headrests so it sits on the seats and doesn't block any windows. I just have to move the headrests up a bit and I can hook quite a few on the each metal rod

Default clothes hanger

I love the look of this hanger. I wanted to buy it just to have it, and I wear a uniform to work so I'd never use it. If you're going to use it quite a bit, I'd invest in it.

I have that hanger from when it was closer to $100 and I love it. Very useful to have and it's nicely made

Wow! $ 150.00?!?! That's a bit steep. Looks nice though. Have to agree on the crappy back seat hooks. My old Honda Civic had a much better hook that my IS.

Have you tried using a regular hanger with the hook?

I have the hangar and it is fantastic. I hang my leather jacket on there and it keeps the shoulder perfectly. Love it. I also hang my dry cleaning on it.

I only wish it had a tan color to match my cashmere interior.

My friend got this one for his car and it works great. Added bonus - cost only $20 CAD sold at Canadian Tire.

I think this clothes hangar is going on my Christmas list. It looks sweet and I'd be able to use it, but I'm morally opposed to paying $150 for it.

Would be curious to see how this looks on our IS's. Looks like when it's hooked to the back of the seat it rides a bit high - unless I'm misinterpreting how it's supposed to be installed.

It actually sits perfect - not high. Looks JDM and flows with VIP style without the price. You can't go wrong with $20 vs $150 for a coat hanger.

Yeah, CAD20.00 is nothing. I may take the plunge. Amazon has it for US$ 27 - and that includes shipping. Don't like the wood finish though so will see if the plasti-dip treatment will work on it. Thanks for the link!
