those are from the old days you washed your slacks put them on these frames and hung them up and they dried with a crease in them. My Mom used those for years, I think I might have used them back in the 1960's. There were actually great to use.

That's what I thought, also, but she says not.

Pants hanger is not the same thing as pants stretcher.

I like this. It would be great for sightly wrinkled pants that I'm too lazy to iron. I wonder if they still sell them.

I think the Vermont Store carries them.

Pants stretchers. I used them many years ago for my DHs twill slacks. They put a really nice crease in the slacks but you had to be careful to line up the seams to be sure the crease was in the proper place. Anyone remember that?

I remember my mother using them on my daddy's work pants. That's what made me think of them.

Looks like a trapeze for your closet.

Hey, that's a good idea! Especially in warmer weather areas where pants and items dry quickly/quick.

I know what they are, and the answer has been given. But just have to ask the OP...were you Emma Bunting when you posted here, in the past?

Pant stretchers? Ha. Weird stuff.

Noel my Mom used them just to dry slacks for my Dad all she had to do was put the slack on the frames and open the slide to what size the slacks were and that is how they dried. I be if I really checked out my basement there would be a couple sets of those things stashed away. Bet my sister has a couple pairs of them.
