Classic & Everyday Adaptive Wear

Our men’s adaptive jumpsuits are perfect for many situations, but especially for the man who has a dementia and fiddles with buttons, snaps, and zippers. Our adaptive jumpsuit design is based upon the "out of sight, out of mind" theory for men plagued with dementia. His hands are always busy, and anything he can get his fingers on is fair game in his mind. He doesn't intend to disrobe, but because the buttons are there, he cannot resist playing with them. The consequences can find him missing his garments and causing an embarrassing situation.

You can prevent that from happening with our adaptive, back zip jumpsuits for wear during the day as well as our jumpsuit nightwear. We have a great selection to choose from. He will look great and stay modest and warm.

Please take a look through our catalog for other dressing solutions that may help solve dressing problems.

Buck and Buck has men’s flannel shirts all year long! We have found that the demand for our cotton flannel shirts remains constant 12 months of the year so we keep these great shirts in stock in a variety of plaids. They all have at least one pocket, have long sleeves and are made of a soft, cotton flannel that retains color through many types of washing.

Our company specializes in adaptive clothing for seniors and adults with special needs, so if you need hook and loop closures in place of buttons or a snap back design, let us know.

Sometimes the use of VELCRO® rather than buttons will allow a man to remain independent in dressing if he cannot manage button closure due to arthritis or other problems that effect finger dexterity. If he cannot dress himself and needs the help of a caregiver, our snap back clothing makes it both easy on him and the caregiver during the dressing process.

The principle reason for the jumpsuit design for the elderly is to prevent undressing. Elderly who suffer from dementias such as Alzheimer's disease may tug at their clothes because they seem to need to keep the hands in motion. They are not necessarily intending to undress, but often that is what happens.

To prevent undressing, we have designed jumpsuits that zip down the back of the garment so the wearer usually cannot reach the zipper. Jumpsuits are avaliable in daywear and sleepwear for women and for men. The jumpsuit is also great for the person who is incontinent and tends to try to put their hands into their clothing.

Caregivers need to be available for the person wearing the jumpsuit since personal care and toileting cannot be done without help. Please look through our catalog for other dressing solutions.

Float dresses and muu muus are the one, forever comfortable dress which is why they have been in style for so many years! They are flattering and comfortable with no restrictions with waistlines, zippers, buttons or other fasteners. Wear them lounging around at home or on an outing. Comfort is the key which is why we carry these great garments in several lengths and with various necklines all year long!

The float dress is slightly gathered at the bodice and flows to a generous a-line shape. There are no fasteners to struggle with as you pull the float dress on over the head.

Our easy to wear skirt is comfortable with great coverage, a loose elastic waist and side pockets. A skirt is both easy to put on and allows for quick and easy undergarment changes for caregivers.

Like all of our garments, the knit skirt is wash and wear. It also has generous pockets at the sides for necessities. A very convenient dressing option.

Adaptive, wrap back dresses are perfect for the woman who wants to look great, but needs help to dress. Our wrap back dresses are made with a generous overlap of material in the back to ensure comfort and dignity when the woman is standing, yet snap at the waist and shoulder to avoid any pressure points while sitting in a wheelchair or recliner.

Take a look at our other adaptive snap back dresses. These garments have well spaced snaps down the length of the back of the dress to secure the garment and prevent her from sitting on snaps at pressure points on her back. We can also adapt any of our dresses to the snap back style for you if you request it.

Our wrap back and snap back dresses are ideal for the handicapped or elderly woman who wants to look stylish, requires assisted dressing and likes the ease of wash and wear! Look through our catalog for other great garments.

We have several styles of house dresses (day dresses) that are certain to please your lady. Many seniors love the comfortable feel of a house dress and ours are very popular because of the fabric and easy wear features. You will love our great cotton/poly blend.

Our zippers are hidden behind a front placard to give the dress a smooth look.

What are the features to look for in easy to wear clothing for senior citizens? As we age, it becomes more difficult to move, stretch, bend and twist making the process of dressing a bit of a challenge at times. Buck and Buck realizes this and our business is to make clothing for seniors look good, feel good and most of all, to be able to be used as independently as possible. Loss of independence in the daily task of dressing can be very difficult for the elderly, so we place their dignity in the forefront of our designs.

Features in our clothing that meet these criteria are:

• Fabrics that are comfortable for seniors to wear with patterns, designs and colors that are appropriate.
• Fabrics that are easy to launder and wear without the need for ironing.
• Clothing fits well to the body with waistbands, cuffs and necklines that are comfortable.
• Zipper pulls, snaps and buttons that are easy to grasp.
• Hook and loop closures that don't challenge the individual who has arthritis or weakness in a limb from a stroke or other condition.

When seniors need the assistance of a caregiver to get dressed, we have many options of open back and side zip clothing for men and women to choose from.

We specialize in easy on casual wear for seniors. Elastic waistbands in our fashions for men and women make for comfortable, easy to wear pants and skirts.
Our clothing is designed to be comfortable rather than trendy. Plaids, flannels, florals and sweats are available year round. If you need easy on adaptive casual wear for men and for women our clothing will meet your needs.

Buck and Buck prides itself on our design of clothes for men and women that makes dressing easy for the elderly, for adults who need assisted dressing and for the caregiver who needs to help the individual with getting dressed.

All of our clothes are easy wear and easy care. The designs are intended to facilitate the elderly and the adult with a disability to self dress with little or no assistance. This is accomplished with our use of zippers, VELCRO® brand closures, large buttons, slip on over the head styles and easy pull up pants with non-roll elastic waistbands.

As you look through our catalog you will notice that the necklines in our dresses, nightwear and blouses are designed to facilitate the pulling on of the garment over the head. Many of our garments also have ¾ zippers to ease the dressing process even more.

If assisted dressing is needed, take a look at our adaptive clothing styles. Our open back and side zip clothing have snaps down the entire length of the garment to make assisted dressing easy. No tugging or pulling required when you follow our dressing tips. Our side zip pants feature bilateral, 22 inch long zippers that help the care giver to dress the person while seated or still in bed and the long zippers permit self toileting if the individual can perform this function independently.

Most of our footwear for men and for women is also of the slip on variety featuring non-skid soles and hook and loop closures to make independence easier and safer. Please take a look through our catalog for clothing to complete the wardrobe.

Our beautiful, easy wear poncho is made of polar fleece and we offer a great fleece jacket as well. Buck and Buck’s women's poncho's are popular because of the easy wear, easy care design and suitability to any occasion. We have them in different fabrics for any season.
