Klädkrager

Klädkrager is a term that does not have a widely established meaning in contemporary Swedish. In practice, it may appear as a misspelling or variant form of other words, or as a rare or historic name kept in limited sources. Because the term is not a standard headword, its interpretation depends on context.

Possible interpretations include:

- A misspelling or regional variant of klädkrokar, which refers to coat hooks or hangers used to suspend outer garments in hallways, closets, or wardrobes.

- A misconstrued form of krage or klädkrage (garment collars), where krage denotes the collar of a garment. This usage is uncommon in modern Swedish, and standard terminology would typically use krage or halskrage in more specific textile discussions.

- A surname or family name found in genealogical or historical records, where the spelling variation might occur in older documents.

In everyday usage, clearer terms are preferred: use klädkrokar for hardware used to hang clothes, krage for a garment collar, and treat Klädkrager strictly as a potential proper noun or as a misspelling awaiting disambiguation. When encountered in text, the intended meaning should be inferred from surrounding words and the broader topic.
