Hanging Aero Jackets on hangers. Best hangers for the job?

I used to have a few of the Aero hangers and they would leave indentations on the side of the shoulders on the jacket. It seemed to stick out further since it was a straighter hanger. That was on a size 40 jacket. Maybe it would be okay on a larger jacket with wider shoulders?
Mine is a size 44 and a rockafella, so quite wide shoulders for the size. But it doesn't seem that great either?

i'm no expert, but I wouldn't leave that jacket attached to that hanger if it were mine. You can clearly see where the hanger is putting pressure on the leather and the hanging weight is causing the leather to bulge. What size are your shoulders? Remember, jacket size does not equate to specific shoulder width. In any case, my inexpert opinion is to either use the pool noodles or find an extra wide hanger like the Kirby Allison ones that come in 18.5" or 20" sizes

I would not recommend that type of suit hanger for leather. The area that is circled in red (see photo below) will leave bumps in the upper chest/ outer clavicle area.

In my experience, the hangers below tend to be a better option, since they do not have any protrusions on the front side of the hanger. Depending on your shoulder width, you may need to add foam.
