Well, there are actually two types of pants holders ... some are only six inches wide and are felt-lined pieces of wood, designed to hold the pants by their cuffs ...
those are the ones I have used ... and, the last time I went to Rite-Aid and bought some for Gavel Passing, I found some that were almost ten inches wide ... I was sort of amazed to find something so cool at Rite-Aid, but ... goes to show ... I assume an awful lot of things <wave>
