Those who are differently abled who have a difficult time putting on traditional jackets could benefit greatly from the 'Easy Jacket.' Instead of being put onto the body by requiring users to bend and twist, the jacket works by being slipped on and closed without having to have the person require help from someone else.
The jacket has a design that opens up from the collar and that collapses easily, while the front and side portions maintain a good closure without restricting any movement of functionality.
The 'Easy Jacket' is the design work of Austin Chen and is a far easier piece of clothing for a person with physical movement challenges to wear in order to maintain autonomy and feel more confident with their abilities.
