Hi everybody,


I invite you all to visit www.weadapt.eu, a portuguese fashion project. Their aim is to design clothes adapted to wheelchair use and to easier dressing. Its a pretty new project so it needs all the help from people likes us to improve and grow.
Check their photos and videos and give feedback please.

All I could find were jeans. They are also a button front . . . . just as difficult for us quads, and no back pockets were their main feature, I guess. Well, also the elasticity in the material. No side pant pockets on pants (something I think is a plus for the chair)

Also, no satchels or bags to buy. Was I missing something? I saw a lot in the fashion show, but that's it.

There's a few cute things there for girls,.. I like the idea behind the corset, those are a bitch to wear now.... although I think their design still needs some work, I'm not a big fan of the gathered material lining the bottom.

I use www.able2wear.co.uk. Its not Armani but it works- and you can be assured you won't get marks or pressure sores from the seams or anything like that.

Hey, Tex -

What about men's casual pants? I'm currently buying women's fishing pants - a nylon fabric - great for the off-on bit, but doesn't breathe as well as cotton - plus, there's more room in the butt. Sure would like to have a little more choice. Any ideas?

right now I'm just working on the women's line... BUT there is a better fabric I just can't remember the name of it right now. I will get back to you with the info!

PS some of our women's line can be versatile

True. They only have one men shirt available. But about the trousers, they all have the velcro zipper option and the shirts have the velcro option and the possibility of elastic armpits, that is the most difficult part to dress.
But personally, my favorite part are the suits.
