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.
