The Petroleum Museum has several textiles/garments that are stored on hangers. However, the hangers currently used are NOT archival, ie. they will contribute to the garment's deterioration. So I want to make padded hangers which will help preserve the garments ( Read more... )

I hope your job reimburses YOU for buying the hangers!

Oh yeah ... I manage two budgets: Archives and Curator, which each have different accounts to charge. So I'll definitely be reimbursed for those hangers!

I drive by every day; won't be a problem to stop in.

Two packages? Do you think $4 will cover shipping? (That's about the savings between the two stores.)

That was me, btw.

Well, using the "Calculate Postage" feature on the USPS.gov website, the cheaper postage should be between $3 and $5. And as I implied above, there is no rush on this.

I know that the IKEA hangers are suitable for this project, I don't know about the Wal-Mart hangers. I'd prefer to go with what I know.

Thank you so much!!
