Yep, I dont know why I didnt think of Tumi. I found them at Zapos here:
http://www.zappos.com/tumi-2pc-hanger-set. Kind of pricey! It also looks like the pivot point might be a bit thick when two are stacked- taking up valuable space. All said, I think I might have to give these a try.

I agree, and would have thought B&R could come up with something better than a glorified dry cleaner's hanger. To be fair, this is the only thing I have found to complain about on their domestic roller. This is the B&R hanger below.

The Bric's product looks similar, but I think the Tumi one is nicer, with the clips, the rubberized metal, and a little more compact design. You might be able to purchase them directly from Tumi as a replacement part if you are so inclined.
You can find it on
Amazon or cheaper on
eBay.
I like the simplicity of the Brics, but that collar angle looks like it might be an issue with men's clothing. My neck is either not that wide or not that tall.
So I think I will try the Tumi and report back after a few trips.
Thanks for the great leads all.
