[QUOTE="M77Fan, post: 2226338, member: 115996"] Convertibles might work in some situations, but you are limited to what they offer, which are mostly summer weight. I have never found a pair that fit well and left room for a brace. Taking regular clothes and adding a zipper has given me the ability to wear light hunting pants, regular jeans, mid and heavy weight wools, all with the ability for adjustment or removal without taking off boots or pants. Unless the material is stretchy, you do need extra space for a brace so you don't bind it up and make walking harder. For those who have other issues, like one mentioned above on caretaking, there are also a few brands of clothing that are designed for post surgical use that could be helpful. Some have snaps, velcro. or zippers that access full seams so a garment can be "wrapped" onto a limb without struggle. Depends on the meed and the joint impairment. Having had several joints replaced, I was in the position of looking at pants and shirts from some of these suppliers, but in the end, because I sew and have been in the mode of adapting clothes and gear myself, I modified some of what I had. Although I recommended putting a zipper into the outside seam, because it is less complicated from the sewing standpoint, I can see how Hopalong's solution also works, and might be better in his situation.
