(57) A garment hanger (10, 100, 1000) in which a median portion (50, 500, 5000) of the hanger includes a window (21; 210; 2100) through which a rotatable disc (56; 560; 5600) may be viewed on which are printed size markings such that the disc can be rotated selectively to display any one of the markings through the window. A rear face of the disc and a facing surface of the median portion are provided with interengaging projection and recess configurations (5210, 5640) which are disengageable by flexing the disc in the window region, allowing rotation of the disc to display the other markings. Inadvertent rotation of the disc is prevented.
