Does anyone have any ideas of what type of clothing a man can wear so that it's quick and easy to get it on and off? He needs help with everything but is not in nappies yet.
Maybe what he wears around the house should be easier than what he wears when I take him out. I don't think he'd be happy wearing just a dressing gown.

Walmart has a nice selection of sweatpants and matching jackets and coordinating tops. Reasonably priced. My husband loves them. They are easy to get on and off and have some room in the seat and thigh areas....not binding. They are warm in the winter too so they can be worn to the store or to doctor's appointments. I get the short sleeved tops so it is easier to have one's blood pressure taken. Easy to wash and dry too. Hope this helps.

also sweat pants and jogging pants that have zippers on the bottom of legs. No need to take off shoes. Pants slip right off.

Sweatpants or long sport pants. If he spends a lot of time sitting, then I would stay away from anything with pockets on the seat - any seam can contribute to pressure sores. Sweatshirts are easy enough and warm, but a little thick to get a jacket over. Again, if he spends a lot of time in a wheelchair, if you layer shirts, the undershirt can get bunched, causing a place with some pressure. For doctor appointments, a button up the front shirt always works well for us. Not to thick so that blood pressure can't be taken over the sleeve, and the doctor can unbutton the front to get to his chest.

May I suggest sweats? For everyday wear, casual, you can get matching pants and pullovers. For outside wear to doctors, theaters, shopping centers, may I suggest no-belt pull-ups like Haband slacks and a no-button shirt or a zip shirt.

There are also microfiber pull on pants similar to sweats but they zip and unzip around the knee area so they can turn into long pants or shorts as needed.

Pull-up pants with elastic waist -- sweatpants or cotton knit. My husband liked knit golf shirts --easier to get over the head than t-shirts. He had trouble with buttons, and if he'd needed the ease of a shirt that fully opened I would put velcro under the buttons.

The velcro to close a shirt down the back is great, unless the patient can't take the seam. My bro is a quadriplegic. Having a hard seam down his back would be brutal for him. Everything he leans against and sits on, has to be smooth. No back pockets, no hoods, no buttons, zippers, no double layers that may bunch when he reclines. I love the velcro ideas though.
