gancho vs. percha

Hola, I asked a classmate who speaks fluent Spanish and has a Mexican background how to say 'clothes hanger'. He told me it was gancho.

When I looked it up on the SpanishDict dictionary, it told me gancho was a peg, while percha was the better term for clothes hanger.

My question is, is gancho used at all for clothes hanger? For example, is it preferred in Mexico? Or is percha the better choice for people to comprehend what I am referring to?

En Mexico la palabra es "gancho" pero pienso que "percha" es comprensible también.
