An extendible garment hanger for clothing items having shoulders of differing widths. The garment hanger includes a body having an upright hook from which a pair of shoulder supports are oppositely laterally downwardly dependent. A pair of extension arms each include a slide section slidably mounted along one of the shoulder supports. The extension arms each have a proximal end with an upright finger tab and a distal end with a downwardly curved end support. The extension arms are manually positionable in a plurality of longitudinal positions along the shoulder supports by moving the finger tabs such that the end supports fit the width of the clothing item. The garment hanger can include a clothing support that interconnects the shoulder supports. The shoulder supports can have a slide bore and an adjoining tab slot along which a plurality of tab-receiving detents or spaced holes are disposed in which the slide sections and finger tabs are respectively slidably disposed to provide a finite plurality of the longitudinal positions by moving the finger tabs along the slide bores into the tab-receiving detents or respective locking tips of the slide sections into the holes. Alternatively, the shoulder supports can have a slide groove in which the slide sections are slidably disposed to provide an infinite plurality of the longitudinal positions using friction. The shoulder supports have at least one retaining loop to retain the slide sections within the slide grooves.
