Saw it on Yahoo Japan as part of a listing. No idea where they are from apart for Japan
I found it by accident

If that's yen, we're talking 46. bucks each!

Perhaps not bad if it is used for a $2000 jacket ?

The width is needed as it looks like it's for smaller jackets, designed for the Asian market.

Just messaged them to check on width.

That's cheaper than a cedar boot tree........and considering the eye watering amount people pay for their jackets, it would be well worth the money!
Personally I'll just leave my jackets on the spare bed or the mannequins, since mine are more robust and generally "newer" compared with the other esteemed collectors in here

Having had a few free jacket hangers from Japan I can confirm they were the regular size compared to UK sizes

@saucerfiend - I'll be interested to hear how wide these hangers are. It's difficult to tell from the photo's.

the way they are constructed, I wonder if the outer parts that are notched, are moveable to accommodate different sized jackets. that would make them very versatile and a possible gotta get for vli addicts.

So, I asked about the width of the Japanese made hanger to use on my 21" shoulders of my GW B-1. Here is their reply:
Hello Brian,
Thank you very much for your inquiry.
The shoulder width of the Ultra wide hanger is 17.71 inches.
It might be small with this hanger.
Thank you!

So much for that. Think I'll go with the Black & Gray that Blackboxr1200S posted as that extends to 20.8".

Just bought the Black & Gray hanger. $57.00 total shipped by UPS.
I was wondering if these would work as an alternative?:

Much cheaper than the Black & Gray and it's cedar, but non-adjustable and slightly smaller in dimensions. Not sure how much a cedar hanger actually repels moths though. I've got a WWII US Army Wool Overcoat from 1944 that I'm trying to protect.
