Special Alterations

Every individual has unique needs and preferences. We pride ourselves in having an eagerness to help our customers meet their needs and try to solve dressing challenges.

Zipper Pull Zipper-Pull and Zipper-Loop

We have found that with some creative thinking, we can make dressing easier for many people. An example of a small alteration is the zipper pull. I find I can extend self dressing for many people by adding this small enhancement. I usually try to find out if grasping the "pull" would be more beneficial than creating the pull "loop." The pull works perfectly for those who can grasp; the loop for someone who finds it easier to slip a few fingers through the loop and pull the zipper this way.

3 Different Closure Types

If a garment can be opened down the back, it can be fitted with any of the 3 closures shown below. We have an expert sewing department on site, so most special alterations are done as each order is filled. If you would like a closure type that is different from the way the garment is offered, just tell our order takers. In many cases we can make the change for a small fee.		 Snap Back

Short Sleeve Conversions Short Sleeve Conversions

It is so easy for us to cut and hem anything, including sleeves. That’s why we don't charge for slack hemmings and never have. My father likes our nightshirts, but prefers a short sleeve. No problem.
Velcro Fly Conversions VELCRO® Brand Fastener Fly Conversion

While this is a much more labor intensive alteration and we must add a small charge to cover our costs, it is one of our most popular. It allows the wearer to open and close his fly without having to deal with a zipper, and, in many cases, keeps him self-sufficient.
