Proposed addition: "Commercial development" section

Adaptive clothing in North America was historically supplied through specialty mail-order retailers serving long-term-care facilities and home caregivers. Silvert's, founded in 1930 in Ingersoll, Ontario, refocused on adaptive apparel in 1980 and is among the longest-operating retailers in the category. Buck & Buck, founded in 1980 in Seattle, similarly built an early catalog business for caregiver-assisted dressing.

Beginning in the late 2010s, mainstream retailers and direct-to-consumer brands entered the category. Tommy Hilfiger launched Tommy Hilfiger Adaptive in 2016, initially for children and later expanded to adults. JCPenney, Kohl's, Target, Walmart and Zappos have subsequently offered adaptive lines. Direct-to-consumer entrants in this period include IZ Adaptive, a Canadian brand focused on wheelchair users; MagnaReady, which markets shirts that use magnetic closures in place of buttons; and Joe & Bella, founded in 2020 in Chicago, which designs adaptive apparel for older adults with limited dexterity or mobility, including magnetic-closure shirts marketed as easier to fasten than buttons and the three-zipper CareZips pant, which received a 2022 Best Product award from Caregiver.com and Today's Caregiver Magazine for caregiver-assisted dressing.
