old house - closets not full hanger depth

[LoveTrains]

I recently bought an older home (1930s) and the hall closet isn't deep enough for normal size hangers. Does anyone know of any company or any product that are hangers that aren't as wide as regular hangers? Help!

There do exist scaled down hangers, but I wouldn't hang a good quality coat on them because it'll ruin the lines of the shoulder.

When I took care of DS's school's band uniforms I bought my specialty size hangers here-

The petites and bendables should be workable.

Our front room closet is wider than it is deep, and there are two rods that pull out towards the front of the closet to hang coats so that regular hangers fit. I have no clue if a pull out system like that is available anywhere still (the closet was a mid-40s/50s addition), but that would solve the problem.

Can you change the direction of the rod to go front to back instead?

There is a local store fixture store here. I bought these:
