Will these hold heavy coats?

Not well. The plastic frame flexes under heavy winter coats and jackets. They work best for shirts, blouses, dresses and light knits.

Do they really stop clothes from slipping?

Yes. The velvet flocking grips silk, satin and other slippery fabrics, and the shoulder notches hold thin straps in place.

They are thinner, so you fit more on a rod, and they grip better than smooth wood. Wooden hangers are sturdier for heavy garments.

The flock can shed a little at first and does collect lint and dust. Wiping them down or a quick rinse helps.
