Waterproof Breathable Winter or Rain Cape (Custom Made)
Cape Types
Both of our Winter capes and Rain capes cover the chair.
Winter Cape - The outer layer is breathable waterproof Ultrex™ nylon and the inner lining is made of genuine Polartec™, patented to trap body heat, while it whisks moisture away. We offer the only winter capes on the internet with genuine Polartec™ lining and genuine waterproof breathable outers.
Rain Cape - The outer layer is breathable waterproof Ultrex™ nylon and the inner lining is made of Supplex™ which suits warmer weather where only waterproofing is needed.
We have many color combinations, since we custom make the capes, one by one. Our prices are quite reasonable when you consider the 3 1/2 to 4 yards each of the two expensive fabrics used, which are not found in fabric stores.
No arm insertion needed just lower and zip up. It has a 22" long front zipper for ease of entry, hood, and a shorter back. The cape back extends behind the chair and keeps backpacks dry and wind out.
Custom sewn and one of a kind. You won't meet anyone else with your identical cape!
Monogramming (Item not returnable if monogram is added)
Personalize your cape further with your name or logo. Up to 26 characters. Logos need to be approved first. Please e-mail us at: [email protected] with the logo you want and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Item not returnable if monogram is added.
Care
Machine washable on warm. Close the zipper and use a giant mesh wash bag to keep the hood intact. Do not dry clean. Remove from dryer after 40 minutes and hang to finish drying. Returnable within 3 weeks of shipping. Individually sewn in the U.S. with U.S. materials. Capes last 10 years if properly cared for.

Questions asked by our customers:
How is the cape “anchored” when it’s windy outside, so it does not fly about? Also, how warm is it, that is, how low can the temperature be and still keep one warm?
Anchoring: We don’t have the ability to anticipate where anchors would go on different chairs. We ask the customer to purchase 3-4 velcro D ring straps at a hardware store and sew them on the cape where there is a bar to wrap the strap around. There are not too many places where the cape lined with Polartec™ will fly up- Chicago, San Francisco, and places close to water or to Canada. The problem with anchoring the cape is that the person will have to bend down to their feet to open the strap, possibly losing their balance, and it will make noise in the washing machine and dryer. If you have a large laundry sink, that would be better than listening to the clicks of the D ring in the washer. I don’t wash my capes very often. I spot clean them, and I take them out of the dryer after 20 minutes and hang them. You could also buy magnets and mount them on the cape and on the metal bars of the chair. The magnets will drive you crazy, as will curtain weights sewn into the lining. There is a drawback to every anchoring system, unfortunately. I used to open an oval in the back overlap for the headrest support bar, until I braked suddenly, and my son got the zipper head pushed into his throat-the cape was anchored to his chair, not able to move forward, as he was.
Temperature: How low the temperature can be while still keeping the person comfortable depends on how much body heat the person produces. Genuine Polartec is rated for low temperatures, but some people don’t produce much body heat. We recommend that in bitter climates, or with a person around 100 pounds, people order a Polartec™ wrap to put under the cape. The wrap with the cape makes a double layer of Polartec™, which should go to below 0 degrees fahrenheit, if the person puts the cape on 10 minutes before going out and lets the body heat up. The wrap is excellent alone for spring and fall. My son wears his every day. In the morning it’s 40 degrees, but in the afternoon it’s 80 degrees, so the wrap comes home draped over his backpack. The winter cape is too bulky to do that. The wrap washes beautifully, and goes everywhere with him.
Sofshoes
Sold in pairs. These boots ride under the ankle, unlike our Polartec boots, which are 9" tall from the sole up. The Sofshoe is a summer boot and is good for people whose ankles turn under. Who don't need a lot of protection for their feet. Just something lightweight and stretchy to accommodate a hammer toe or delicate bunions.
To find your size, put foot on a ruler. Measure from back of heel to the biggest toe.

We will try to accommodate your request if we have sufficient inventory. If we run out of a particular size it may take up to a week or two to ship your order regardless of the shipping speed.

#834 Tube Slot - We add a slot for g-tubes for feeding or other uses. The slot has interfacing behind to prevent stretching out.
#835 Tube Slot with Protective Pocket - For years, we have made a protective pocket over our G tube slots to prevent pulling out the tube. The nurse unsnaps the pocket on any side the caregiver wishes and inserts the tube, or just connects the coiled tube to the pump tubing for feeding. The slot has interfacing behind to prevent stretching out, and the pocket is made of two thicknesses of soft, preshrunk fleece. 4.5” by 4.5” (approximate dimensions). It opens on one of its 4 sides with snaps. The pocket is serged all around to prevent ripping or fraying.
#836 Tube Slot with Supportive Pocket - 5.5” x 5.5” (approximate dimensions) pocket that not only covers the slot where the tube exits the body, but also supports the coiled tube inside. Notice the tube can exit and feeding can continue, even while the pocket is closed. Indicate on which of 4 sides the pocket should open during checkout.
Suit Measurement
To find your size you must measure your torso. To measure your torso length, start from the flat part of your shoulder (#1) and go down across your chest down to the bottom of your crotch (#2).

How is the cape “anchored” when it’s windy outside, so it does not fly about? Also, how warm is it, that is, how low can the temperature be and still keep one warm?
Anchoring: We don’t have the ability to anticipate where anchors would go on different chairs. We ask the customer to purchase 3-4 velcro D ring straps at a hardware store and sew them on the cape where there is a bar to wrap the strap around. There are not too many places where the cape lined with Polartec™ will fly up- Chicago, San Francisco, and places close to water or to Canada. The problem with anchoring the cape is that the person will have to bend down to their feet to open the strap, possibly losing their balance, and it will make noise in the washing machine and dryer. If you have a large laundry sink, that would be better than listening to the clicks of the D ring in the washer. I don’t wash my capes very often. I spot clean them, and I take them out of the dryer after 20 minutes and hang them. You could also buy magnets and mount them on the cape and on the metal bars of the chair. The magnets will drive you crazy, as will curtain weights sewn into the lining. There is a drawback to every anchoring system, unfortunately. I used to open an oval in the back overlap for the headrest support bar, until I braked suddenly, and my son got the zipper head pushed into his throat-the cape was anchored to his chair, not able to move forward, as he was.
Temperature: How low the temperature can be while still keeping the person comfortable depends on how much body heat the person produces. Genuine Polartec is rated for low temperatures, but some people don’t produce much body heat. We recommend that in bitter climates, or with a person around 100 pounds, people order a Polartec™ wrap to put under the cape. The wrap with the cape makes a double layer of Polartec™, which should go to below 0 degrees fahrenheit, if the person puts the cape on 10 minutes before going out and lets the body heat up. The wrap is excellent alone for spring and fall. My son wears his every day. In the morning it’s 40 degrees, but in the afternoon it’s 80 degrees, so the wrap comes home draped over his backpack. The winter cape is too bulky to do that. The wrap washes beautifully, and goes everywhere with him.

shoulders. On the adult size, there is a 2" visor-like extension at the
top of a 24" head as a visor. On the child size, there is a 3"
visor-like extension on a 20 1/2" temple.

Put it over your hood-less jacket. It's reversible - wear the thick,
warm Polartec™ next to your skin, or the soft, stretchy knit. Wear either
color to match your outerwear. Dress it up with a colorful pin closing
the two parts of the scarf.
Billy Shoes - Black Perf Lowtop
We have many customers with small feet, so we have been looking for easy -on shoes for chair users with small feet, here are a few EZ on shoes.
Billy shoes are good -looking and so easy to put on! This shoe is low profile. The top opens with a zipper, which is less clumsy looking than a velcro overlap. With the top folded aside, put your foot down on the open shoe, then zip. There is no pushing the foot into the shoe, wiggling, and then pulling the heel up.
We have 3 sizes available. Use the guide below to measure Length, Width, Instep and Girth.

Please be aware: They won’t fit if your foot has a high instep, you use AFOs, your foot curls down, or your girth is too large (see size guide above to measure your foot). For everyone else, these shoes are great!
If one foot is larger than the other, use the larger girth. Adults with small, but wide feet, or a curling foot, don't want to choose Billy shoes.

Pants marked as SLIM HIPS. The slim sizes are good for anyone whose hips size matches their waist. If your hips are 4" or so larger than your waist, pass the slim sizes by.
Our pant patterns have generous hips (measure all the way across at the crotch) for room for cathing or absorbent briefs. A pant marked as "slim" has the writen waist measurement, but has slimmer hips than usual, for those for whom only their waists have spread, due to prolonged sitting. Certain pants may have some options already; for example: pull loops, fake fly, pockets, side zippers, etc..
Sitter
pants or wheelchair jeans are much more comfortable for chair users! We
have been making them for over 25 years. They are cut higher in the back and

back. We offer the most moderately priced sitter pants on the internet!

Sidekick Bag
Over 15 color combinations will be available, more colors will be available soon.
We enlarged our Sidekick Bag to make it a superior product, with partitions for your glasses, cell phone, garage door opener, or keys. We kept the flap over the top so you can keep your coin purse out of sight and have your free monogrammed name or image placed there. Cordura is sturdier than the competitor's nylon. The new Super Sidekick is 12" long x 9" high, with 15 color combinations available, using the same durable and colorful printed, woven polyester straps. These 2" wide woven polyester webbing straps are more durable and hold better because they are wider and longer, offering more possibilities to arrange the bag on the armrest or a handy bar. It won't fall, sag, or be pulled off your chair. You can get an amazing amount of stuff inside- sunglasses, wallet, even a can of soda! Some colors of cordura may in time show soil. Just soak them in the sink in warm water. It will withstand a little scrubbing.
Free Monogramming
Some of the images that we offer on the bags are names, initials, hearts, stars, butterflies, flowers, hummingbirds, rocket ships, cartoon characters, and sports logos.
