Check out Acme Display.  I usually purchase the shaper hanger polypropylene with chrome hook at 15" wide.  But I do believe they have a longer shank one available.

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone on the list can point me in the direction of a supplier who can provide good quality padded hangers for historic costume storage with long shanks? We would prefer a longer shank on the hanger than what most commercially available conservation hangers provide, in order to more safely accommodate historic costume with taller collars.

Many thanks,
Dee
