Default Coat hanger?

I daily drive mine and part of my work requires wearing a suit. Wanted to know for those in the same predicament, what work arounds or accessories did you end up using since the hook thing behind the seats are useless and cant hold a proper hanger

The few times that I've had to bring a suit jacket (or sport coat, etc.), I typically just carefully drape across the back seat, over the passenger seat, or neatly folded over once and placed in frunk. Curious though what others do as well.

How about folding down the back seats and laying it flat on top?

Fold in half and lay on the front passenger seat or one of the rear seats. As long as nothing is pressing on top of the coat, the wool will not crease.

This is what I do.

Would be nice to have a proper hanger for behind the drivers seat though.

Have you tried the hook built into the plastic shell on the backs of the seats? I find that works well. The hooks in the rear windows definitely are useless.

If you really want to have fun, try bringing a bunch of shirts on hangars home from the dry cleaners.

I tried doing the one fold and put it on the passenger seat. Almost always it falls off to the floor unfortunately. I guess for an hour commute on LA traffic, its not uncommon to brake hard once in a while

Attach a rubber/elastic band to the coat hanger and then attach the rubber band to the built-in hook.
