A strong but lightweight garment hanger includes a unitary body that can be made of Aluminum or plastic. A hook support member depends down from the hook of the hanger, and first and second arm members extend down from the hook support member. For strength, each arm member includes an inner arm and an outer arm connected to the inner arm by connector segments. A lower support member extends between the arm members and includes upper and lower elements and a strengthening web between the lower and upper elements.

What is claimed is: 1. A sturdy garment hanger defined by a unitary body comprising: a hook; a hook support member depending downwardly from the hook; first and second arm members extending downwardly away from the hook support member, each arm member including at least an inner arm and an outer arm connected to the inner arm by at least one connector, the arms of each arm member defining an open space between at least a portion of the arms, the outer arm of each arm member forming at least one strap retaining clip; and a lower support member extending between the arm members and connecting the arm members, the lower support member including at least one elongated lower element, at least one elongated upper element, and at least one connector between the lower and upper elements, the outer arms of each arm member joining each other in an arc to define a bottom edge of the hook support member, the inner arms joining each other in an arc below the arc of the upper arms, an open space being established between the arcs. 2. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the connector between the elements of the lower support member is a strengthening web, and the connectors between the arms of the arm members are connector segments. 3. The hanger of claim 2, wherein the elements of the lower support member define a first thickness and the strengthening web defines a second thickness less than the first thickness. 4. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the hook support member has plural edges defining an enclosure therebetween and a hook support web filling the enclosure. 5. The hanger of claim 4, wherein the edges of the hook support member define a first thickness and the hook support web defines a second thickness less than the first thickness. 6. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the body is made of Aluminum, and the outer arm of each arm member forms at least two strap retaining clips. 7. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the body is made of Aluminum, and the body further comprises a cross bar extending between the arm members below the hook support member, an auxiliary enclosure being formed above the cross bar. 8. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the arm members join each other below the hook support member to define an arm junction, the arm junction defining an enclosure and plural strengthening struts each extending across the enclosure. 9. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the inner arm of each arm member is contiguous to the upper element of the lower support member and the outer arm of each arm member is contiguous to the lower element of the lower support member. 10. The hanger of claim 1, wherein the arms of the arm members and the upper and lower elements of the lower support element have flat faces. 11. The hanger of claim 1, further comprising a respective garment retainer engaged in an interference fit with each arm member, each garment retainer having a tacky rounded surface to uncreasingly support a shirt at the shoulders thereof. 12. The hanger of claim 1, further comprising a garment retainer engaged in an interference fit with the lower support member, the garment retainer having a tacky rounded surface to uncreasingly support pants folded thereover. 13. A garment hanger having a hook connected to a hook support member and two arm members extending down from the hook support member, each arm member having double arm construction, the arm members joining the hook support member, the arm members being connected to each other by a lower support member having double arm construction, wherein the hook support member defines at least three edges defining an enclosure; a cross bar extends between the arm members below the hook support member, an auxiliary enclosure being formed above the cross bar; the arm members join each other below the hook support member to define an arm junction located above the auxiliary enclosure and below the hook support member, the arm junction defining an enclosure and plural arcuate strengthening struts each extending downwardly, a first strut being contiguous to a first one of the arm members and a second strut being contiguous to a second one of the arm members. 14. The hanger of claim 13, wherein the hanger is established by a unitary structure. 15. The hanger of claim 13, wherein each arm member includes an inner arm and an outer arm connected to the inner arm by at least one connector segment, the outer arm of each arm member forming at least one strap retaining clip. 16. The hanger of claim 13, wherein the lower support member includes a lower element and an upper element and a strengthening web between the lower and upper elements. 17. The hanger of claim 16, wherein the elements of the lower support member define a first thickness and the strengthening web defines a second thickness less than the first thickness. 18. The hanger of claim 13, wherein the hook support member has plural edges defining an enclosure therebetween and a hook support web filling the enclosure, the edges of the hook support member defining a first thickness and the hook support web defining a second thickness less than the first thickness. 19. The hanger of claim 13, wherein the structure is made of Aluminum, and an outer arm of each arm member forms at least two strap retaining clips. 20. The hanger of claim 13, wherein the arm members each define inner and outer arms, the arms of each arm member defining an open space between at least a portion of the arms. 21. The hanger of claim 13, further comprising a respective garment retainer engaged in an interference fit with each arm member, each garment retainer having a tacky rounded surface to uncreasingly support a shirt at the shoulders thereof. 22. A hanger with a hook and a hook support member depending downwardly from the hook; first and second arm members extending from the hook support member, each arm member including at least an inner arm and an outer arm connected to the inner arm by at least one connector, the arms defining an open space between at least a portion of the arms; the hook support member defining at least three edges defining an enclosure; a cross bar extending between the arm members below the hook support member, an auxiliary enclosure being formed above the cross bar; the arm members joining each other below the hack support member to define an arm junction located above the auxiliary enclosure and below the hook support member, the arm junction defining an enclosure and plural arcuate strengthening struts each extending downwardly, a first strut being contiguous to a first one of the arm members and a second strut being contiguous to a second one of the arm members.
