Clothing

Hello, can anyone suggest a source for clothing that's easy to put on/take off? Especially the take off part. This morning I had to literally cut the back of his sweatshirt open with scissors. He's always cold and wears long sleeves but they are too hard to get off.

Thanks for any advice!

    My DH wears sweats most of the time, sweat pants and shirts in the winter and sweat type cargo style shorts in the summer from Amazon. The regular sweat shirts and pants can be purchased anywhere. I always order a size larger in shirts because it makes them easier to get on and off. Sweats are thick enough that incontinence underwear doesn’t show through. And they can be washed daily if needed. In winter he wears turtlenecks or other long sleeve shirts underneath for the warmth. Sweaters also look fine with open bottom leg sweat pants.
