A foldable garment hanger has shoulder support members that can be folded together while supporting a garment thereon. The foldable hanger allows the garment to be quickly folded in half about the centerline of the backside of the garment where the garment can then be folded horizontally one or more times so as to fit into a conventional carry-on baggage. The foldable hanger is further provided with a hook configured such that a traveler can unpack and unfold the garment by simply hanging the foldable hanger on a conventional hanger rod or hook and unfolding the shoulder support members of the invention. When unfolded, the invention can be used in a manner similar to a conventional garment hanger.
