Clothing for Parkinsons

I'd like to find clothing that is adaptable to someone with PD who does not have a lot of tremors, but who does have a lot of problems with fine motor skills.

The guides say velcro and drawstrings, but that kind of clothing would not work for someone who works in a profession that demands a certain formality in clothing. Should I just go to a tailor and ask him to refit existing clasps with larger hooks and eyes, and some occasional velcro?

Thanks Ed -- really appreciate the advice and kind words. We've done the shoes thing, and am looking into snap button shirts.

Noam,
One way around the button on the sleeve problem is
step 1) take the button off, and stitch the button ON TOP of the buttonhole.
2) stitch a 1/2" of 1/4" elastic to one end where the button was originally stitched, the other to the back of the button hole (inside of the cuff).
Your hand is able to slide through the cuff now, but it appears closed, to the eye.
You can make your dress shirt a pull-on by keeping the bottom 4 buttons done up and using velcro on the top 3 buttons, again stitching the button on top of the buttonhole, and cheating the velcro underneath. Regarding the collar of the shirt....this is the challenge. A slightly larger button, with a shank of elastic stitched to it, attached it to the shirt,where the button originally was, should make it more accessible. It can still hide neatly behind a tie.

We use this trick for quick changes in the theatre.

Re dress pants: Most pants for Parkinsons seem to like elastic waistbands and drawstrings. My thought is, that you could get a tailor to cut the front of your suit pants as you would traditionally, but explain that you need the back of the pant cut with an elasticized waist. This will give you enough room to get them down fast. The other thing you might ask him to employ is a " pant hook" rather than button on the waistband. This is about 1" long and flat. Ask him to give you a discreet tab at the waistband front to help you pull the hook open. Consider 3 velcro 1" squares instead of a zipper in the fly.
Hope this helps,
Good luck!!!

I have cbgd not sure what the onset date is could be 2010 so I may be around 3 years into it. Left foot and hand is turned in and left arm, shoulder and neck is giving me problems. I am using forearm crutches and rolater walker. Doctor told me I will end up in a wheel chair. My right arm and leg jump at night according to my wife. I have started seeing a naturopath
He has changed my breakfast to star along with the water I drink. I am not to eat anything that grows underground, and anything with sugar or yeast. He will change what I eat at lunch next and then dinner. I am told I will need to be tested for driving every 6 months. My wife said I need to stop now because I get confused in town with stop lights and stop signs. I am a 56 male. My understanding is people with cbgd last about 8 years from onset of the disease. I am current getting everything in order including talking my wife into selling our house and moving into a condo complex so when I am gone she won't have to worry about yard work and snow removal.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what to expect next.
