There was an article in the WSJ a couple of weeks ago on clothes for the disabled. Now it’s the turn of the New York Times. The NYT article notes that 1 in 5 of every American adults is disabled.
In the NYT article, these “healthwear” businesses and products are mentioned:
* MagnaReady, magnaready.com: shirts with magnetic closures instead of buttons
* Care and Wear, careandwear.com: shirts and arm bands designed for use for people with medical ports
* Runway of Dreams, usa.tommy.com: children’s clothing from Tommy Hilfiger incorporating MagnaReady and velcro
Note that the NYT article also discusses clothing for refugees so not all of it is about clothing for the disabled. Here’s a link to it:
