If you wear black clothes, you know the struggle—lint, dust, and hair seem to find their way onto every shirt, trousers, and jacket. Lint rollers work for a use or two, but they’re wasteful, flimsy, and never last. That’s why I want to share what I’ve found to be the best garment brush in the market: a compact, durable, travel-friendly brush sourced by Arterton London, and made by the renowned Japanese maker Nakata Hangers.
Why Lint Rollers Don’t Cut It
For years, I cycled through lint rollers and shavers. They’re good for a quick fix, but the sticky tape runs out, cheap mechanisms break, and over time, they’re simply inconvenient. For anyone who wears black often, this becomes an endless battle.
The Nakata Hanger Advantage
Nakata Hanger, a heritage hanger-maker in Japan, has been perfecting their craft for decades (founded in 1946). Their brushes are crafted with high-quality natural bristles that gently yet effectively remove lint, dust, and hair from clothing. Unlike disposable products, they’re designed to last for years.
Arterton, a London-based menswear outfitter, has introduced Nakata Hangers to the U.K. and U.S. markets, making these finely crafted tools accessible to anyone who values clothing maintenance. While they specialize in the ‘best hangers in the world,’ they just might reach that same stature in their garment brushes!
Compact, Durable & Travel-Friendly
What makes this brush stand out is its size and practicality. It fits in the palm of your hand, slips easily into a travel bag, and even comes with a leather case. Whether you’re heading to the office, traveling abroad, or simply want to look sharp at home, this is the kind of tool you’ll use daily.
Why It’s the Best Garment Brush
- Effortless lint removal – handles dust, lint, and pet hair in seconds
- Eco-friendly – no need for endless sticky tape refills
- Travel-ready – compact design with a protective leather case
- Heritage quality – made by Nakata Hanger in Japan, sourced by Arterton London for worldwide distribution
Final Thoughts
This brush has quickly become one of my everyday essentials. For someone like me who loves black clothing but hates lint, it’s a lifesaver. Arterton was very smart to bring Nakata Hanger’s expertise to the market, and I think every gentleman should have one—whether for travel or at home.
