Set up a repeatable comparison

Choose one section of rail and record its usable length. Count the garments, photograph their arrangement, and note the hanger types already present. Use the same clothes for the second arrangement, including layers that make some pieces bulkier than others.

Keep the camera position and framing consistent. Do not remove garments for the after photograph or compress them more tightly just to improve the result. Include the space needed to slide a hand between items and take one out without disturbing the rest.

Measure more than density

After changing suitable garments to Toga, measure the occupied section again. Record any difference as a result for that particular group of clothes. It is not a universal percentage and should not be extrapolated to a closet full of thick coats.

Also try the loading movement, retrieval, and put-away routine several times. If a smaller footprint comes with harder access, reconsider the arrangement. Keep a note of which garments did not suit the hanger so the comparison includes its limits. The most useful outcome is a clearer understanding of your wardrobe, even if the measured space change is modest.
