In adaptive clothing, magnetic members engage to magnetically fasten a lower front layer and an upper front layer. A first magnetic member is provided in a housing having a base extending beyond the boundaries of the magnet. The base is sewn to fabric. The housing is secured in a placket to be affixed to a garment upper layer. A second magnetic member is placed in an interior enclosure of a lower front layer. A button or other component is secured to the exterior side of the upper front layer to provide the appearance of a buttoned placket. To close the garment, the first magnetic member is brought in proximity to the second magnetic member. The placket may be constructed as a separate unit and attached to the garment in a separate operation, allowing construction of the placket without manipulating the entire garment. Cuffs are prepared in a manner similar to the placket.

The present invention presents a garment with convertible sleeve cuffs comprising of a body having a right sleeve and a left sleeve, wherein the right sleeve and the left sleeve each start at a wearers right shoulder and left shoulder respectively and reach a wearers right wrist and left wrist respectively, and a garment sleeve cuff attached to the wrist end of each of the right sleeve and the left sleeve, the garment sleeve cuffs each comprising of a first extension comprising of a connector, the connector comprising of two or more corresponding parts, and a second extension comprising of a connector, the connector comprising of two or more corresponding parts.

A male undergarment with an expanding iris opening for maintaining the penis of a male wearer in a natural position is provided. The iris opening may be defined by a protruding boundary sleeve extending perpendicular from a crotch portion of the undergarment. The undergarment also provides a veil attached along the crotch portion, affording privacy and comfort by being movable between a concealed condition and a revealed condition.

A bodysuit has a closure that is located near the waist area of the infant on which the bodysuit is worn. The bodysuit can have a water-resistant interior that is able to be wiped down and cleaned in the event of an accident. The bodysuit allows changing of the diaper without disturbing the infant.

An improved adaptive garment has a shoulder seam closure of (1) a first panel containing one or more magnetic fasteners or a magnetic strip of a positive or negative polarity, and (2) a second panel containing one or more magnetic fasteners or a magnetic strip of opposite polarity. The magnetic elements of the first and second panels are attracted and attach to each other, such that the second panel overlaps the first panel and closes the shoulder seam. This improved adaptive garment permits those with limited dexterity or mobility, youngsters, or those with disabilities and/or other health conditions get dressed more easily and quickly, with or without the assistance of others. This shoulder seam closure further permits the adaptive garment not to use a back seam closure of magnetic fasteners, thereby eliminating their pressure against the wearer's back and the discomfort, pain or irritation they might cause, and permitting to contain a back vent or pleat.

The collared shirt has a placket with a top piece and bottom piece extending at least a portion of the length of the shirt. The bottom piece comprises an attached collar male button, an attached first male button spaced apart from the collar male button and below the collar male button, and an attached second male button spaced apart from the first male button and below the first male button, and an intermediate male magnetic button between the first and second male buttons. The top piece comprises female buttons corresponding to the male buttons on the bottom piece. The top piece further comprises an intermediate female magnetic button corresponding to the intermediate male magnetic button and affixed to an inner side of the top piece.

A female undergarment including a first fabric layer having an abdominal region and a crotch region and a second fabric layer secured to the first fabric layer at the crotch region and at the abdominal region. The crotch region is defined by first and second leg openings. The second fabric layer, secured to the first fabric layer at the crotch region and at the abdominal region, defines a first opening between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer proximate the first leg opening and a second opening between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer proximate the second leg opening. Manufacturing the undergarment includes forming a first fabric layer having an abdominal region and a crotch region, and securing a second fabric layer to the first fabric layer at the crotch region and at the abdominal region, thereby defining the first opening and the second opening.

In an embodiment, a pair of undershorts is provided. The undershorts includes a pair of leg portions, at least one seam and at least one fastening means. The at least one seam is formed on at least one leg portion of the pair of leg portions for taking off the pair of undershorts from legs of a user wearing the pair of undershorts. The seam is configured to run through length of the pair of undershorts from a waist end to a leg end. The fastening means is configured to separate or bond separations along the at least one seam. When the pair of undershorts is worn under a pair of outer shorts, the seam is configured to be separated by the user to take off the pair of undershorts from at least one leg opening of the pair of outer shorts without taking off the pair of outer shorts.

A garment having a collar, the garment comprising: a placket, extending the length of the garment and having spaced apart first and a second buttons substantially nearer to the collar than a third button; wherein a portion of the placket intermediate the first and second button comprises a fly-front placket hiding an intermediate button therein; and wherein a remaining portion of the placket is not a fly front placket.
