Trousers and/or shorts are fed one at a time between conveyor belts, cuff end first, towards a hanger automatically dropped from a hanger bar into a hanger chute positioned in the path of travel of the trousers, A sensor senses the presence of a pair of trousers on the feed belts and activates a hanger transport mechanism which grabs a hanger from the end of a screw conveyor on a hanger bar feeding the hangers by gravity towards the screw end, which stops, separates and spaces the hangers. The hanger transport mechanism delivers a hanger forwardly over the hanger chute, and then retracts, dropping the hanger into chute. The cuffs of the trousers are fed through the hanger positioned in the chute. A sensor, such as a photoelectric eye, senses the position of the waistband or the opposite end of the trousers and upon sensing the same, causes the activation and forward tilt or rotation of a hanger receiving and holding mechanism mounted at the bottom of the hanger chute, which enables the trousers to be draped over the hanger and the hanger to be delivered to an upright conveyor or other device containing spaced projections for picking up the hanger hook end along with the folded trousers, and transporting the same for further processing.
