A Textile Survey

Even though we’re all wheelchair-users, our needs regarding clothes still vary person to person. I know that for me, since I’m 5′10 with really long legs, and I sit all day, I need extra-long inseams on all of my pants, but not every other gimp is like me…

I also need:

- A long torso in my shirts so they don’t ride up, exposing my belly.

- Non-bell/flowy sleeves.

- Skirts that aren’t above the knee.

- No long jackets; they just bunch-up behind my back.

- Fabric that moves and no bulky seams.

- No itchy fabric like wool.

With that said, what do you look for in pants, shirts, jackets, etc, when buying clothes for your non-standing lifestyle?
