Hoodies
b.adaptive hoodies are designed with the idea of solving the difficulty that is apparent when putting clothes over heads and fastening up hoodies, sweatshirts and coats, especially if movement in the hands and body are limited.
Our hoodies are designed with an opening at the neck to make it easier to put on for the wearer and make dressing easier for carers. The front opening also allows access for Cancer port holes or TPN (Total parenteral nutrition) feeding, another subtle adaptation. The hoodies also have a zip opening on the sleeve from the wrist up and down towards the waist and finished with magnetic closing from the waist to stop bunching whilst sitting. The back is longer to ensure coverage whilst sitting and designed in an oversize fitting to ensure a good fit whilst wearing over t-shirts.

A new chapter begins with the same heart at its core
Today, we're excited to share our evolution from bealie's adaptive wear to b.adaptive!
Many of you know that Bealie is my son, Emiles' nickname, and the inspiration behind everything we do. Emile was just 13 when he had a spinal cord stroke, which began our journey into adaptive clothing. Now, as he's grown into a young man, our brand is growing too.
The 'B' in b.adaptive stands for Bealie - keeping Emile at the heart of our brand while inviting everyone to B.part of our movement. His journey continues to drive our mission to create adaptive clothing that never compromises on style.
To our loyal customers who've been with us from the beginning, thank you for being part of Emile and Bealies' story as it unfolds and welcome to our new customers. We can't wait to show you how we're growing while staying true to our roots.
Same mission. Same heart. New name.

“Emile likes to dress like his peers e.g joggers, sports t-shirts and he likes his trainers! However we couldn’t find joggers with a fly opening to enable clean catheterising. Initially I tried a normal fly front zip position however it didn’t allow a big enough space to catheterise. We tried the zip in different positions and decided that diagonally we get a larger area for catheterising and it adds a nice design feature to the joggers. The zip is a large plastic zip which is easier to use with a protective flap underneath to protect the skin.
The joggers are designed with a higher back which allows full coverage whilst sitting and transferring. The joggers are made with soft cotton jersey for comfort with a large soft ankle cuff that can fit over the foot in most positions and sits comfortably on the ankle. A side pocket on the thigh for style and small change”
