Buck & Buck
Buck & Buck has been sewing adaptive clothing in Seattle since 1978, when Bill and Julie Buck began solving dressing problems that ordinary retail ignored. The range is unashamedly practical: open back tops and trousers closing with snaps placed away from pressure points, side opening pants, dresses cut longer to cover the knees while seated, capes that sit over a wheelchair without bunching. Orders go through the site or the toll free line, and the workshop takes requests for alterations around catheters and drainage tubes.
Best fit: wheelchair users who dress with help, and relatives buying for someone in assisted living or nursing care. Anyone dressing solo should read the labels closely, because open back construction assumes a second pair of hands. Styling stays conservative, so a younger rider hunting denim with a seated cut will find the selection plain.
