Jersey case hangers

[skyking26]

Looking for different hanger-systems that would go inside a baseball jersey case/shadowbox.

Thanks -

Re: Jersey case hangers

I just use a black non-slip hanger and add some non-slip shoulder pads (from BBB). If you want something fancier, I think these look pretty cool:

Copied something I posted from another thread:

I build my own shadow boxes - I get the frames from www.framesbymail.com, cut to the size I need for the jersey (28" x 38" German silver). I then get the matting, backer, plexiglass, and cloth for the inner trim locally.

I build the hanger out of 3/4" aluminum tubing, the middle piece is an IKEA cabinet knob. I also put some cloth on the hanger to protect the jersey. It's a bit of work, but I'm picky and it's exactly the look I wanted.

Re: Jersey case hangers

The backing will be like a velvet or soft material; so a shirwhiz etc won't work. Thinking of a long hanger thru a small screweye above?

If people could post other ideas I'd appreciate. I used the device the gentleman with the Patriots jersey used last time but that was pretty expensive...

I use Ultra-Mount jersey holders. They work great. I would type Ultra-Mount into google to find the website.

Re: Jersey case hangers

I used Ultra Mount on my last case. If anyone could go over in a message step by step how to do photos I'd show off my last case. The Ultra Mount is a bit pricey for just the hanger. I build shadow boxes with Suede backgrounds. So; that said - any other ideas?

Re: Jersey case hangers

Here is an example of a black no-slip hanger with "shoulder pads" added. With a black background, the hanger is practically invisible. There is no stress on the jersey. It floats inside the box. It connects via a simple eye hook installed into the top of the box. The round part of the hangar is concealed by the matting. I do these myself. 30x40 box from Michaels and two or three mats that I cut and add spacers (thin strips of foam core). I also have a template for the placards. I usually use a suede-like top mat, but for really dark colors, it's a bit of a waste.

Ok; this may be what I am after. Something simple. The current box I am working on is like the blue u see in Mets uniforms. If you would; could u email me the particulars and where I would find the parts for the hanger system u did... and what they are? Everything else is complete on the shadowbox right now that I am doing.

Esquire, I would love if you could post some step by step instructions on how you assemble one your shadow boxes. Those really do look fantastic!
