JCPenney has added new men’s and women’s jeans to its adaptive clothing line for wheelchair users. The mutual weave Men’s Easy-on + Easy-off is a straight-leg style jean, made from soft stretch denim, that features hook-and-loop fasteners, an adjustable waistband and pull-on loops. These jeans do feature back pockets, something to be aware of for those worried about skin issues.
The a.n.a Adaptive Womens High Rise Straight Leg Jean is similar, though without the back pockets, and with a high-rise fit that provides better coverage while sitting, making the pants easy to wear for longer periods without experiencing discomfort or sagging. The jeans replace the standard buttons and zippers with Velcro to make dressing and cathing easier.
Both styles are currently on sale at an affordable price: $29.99 per pair. Along with their adaptive features, the jeans include classic styling and detailing, making them look like any other pair of jeans, but with added accessibility elements.
JCPenney offers several items in its adaptive category, including tops, bottoms, intimates and sleepwear, and plus-size clothing.

Now they just gotta get more inclusive sizing on adaptive clothes! Baby steps.
Agreed. Most places sell 0-30 now a-days, and if we REALLY wanna be INCLUSIVE, theyll have the same sizes normal retailers carry!! The price point for CUSTOMIZED jeans is scary cheap!
In what world is $29.99 affordable?
Not sure if you looked up jeans but some places are charging more than $100 + for “adapted” Great to see a main stream market adding these options
Have you priced jeans lately?
