Apparently, the couture furrier, who moonlights designing and selling ready-to-wear, faux furs on QVC, cares greatly about the proper handling and storage of his wares.  All coats — at price points high and low — should be hung on custom hangers when put away for any length of time.  For quick comings and goings they should be hung on a handy coat rack, and never slung over a piece of furniture.  Got that?  The New York Times Dec. 7, 2009
