Two disabled women come together to design some great jeans. A clothes designer named Heidi McKenzie partnered with a disabled woman name Kristin Alexandra Tidwell to create jeans for the disabled. They have a catheter opening and have a high wasted back and deep pockets. All with the wheelchair user in mind. Great story about them and how they are designing these and why. Link below.
In 2007, clothes designer Heidi McKenzie was paralyzed in a car accident, but that hasn’t stopped her from making her mark in the world of fashion. She participated in Ms Wheelchair Kentucky in 2012, and started her own fashion business catering mainly...

What a great idea! As I heard on NPR today that one in five Americans is disabled, there is clearly a huge market for these adaptive jeans. A friend of mine is a former national women's martial arts champion, now a wheelchair-bound paraplegic as the direct result of someone driving while distracted by their cell phone. She has to catheterize, so this would be handy for her. I wonder if they make these in men's styles, too. That's what she prefers.
