Acrylic Garment Hanger

[Rick Granick]

I have an incoming project to frame two military uniform jackets. The basic frame design will involve an acrylic box with a frame around the perimeter and a fabric covered backing surface. Rather than stitch or otherwise mount the jackets, however, I would like to hang them on hanger brackets attached to the backing surfaces. I think I have seen such devices available on the market. Has anyone used these? What kind of support board is required behind the decorative surface, and how do these attach? Does anyone have a link to availability info for them?

Thanks.
Rick

We've used one from Gemini/Showcase that screwed into the top of the shadowbox. No special backer needed. If memory serves me, it was custom made.

We make custom acrylic hangers that can be screwed into the back of the frame. Please contact me and I will send pictures.
