Adaptive clothing

A clothing garment comprising:

• a garment body configured to cover at least a portion of a wearer's torso and formed from one or more panels of garment material;
• and
• a selectively openable closure assembly disposed on the garment body and extending between a first region of the garment body and a second region of the garment body,
• wherein the closure assembly comprises first and second mateable closure elements and at least a first slider and a second slider configured to selectively couple and uncouple the mateable closure elements,
• wherein movement of the first slider away from the first region opens a first portion of the garment body to expose a first access area of the wearer, and movement of the second slider away from the second region opens a second portion of the garment body to expose a second access area of the wearer,
• wherein the first slider and the second slider are independently positionable along the closure assembly to define an opening, gap, or passage through which medical tubing, equipment, or other implements may be routed without substantial compression, and
• wherein the closure assembly is oriented along a path on the garment body selected to provide selective access to a targeted anatomical region of the wearer while allowing the remainder of the garment body to remain worn.

A garment comprising:

• a torso-covering top having a neckline, left and right shoulders depending from the neckline, and sleeves with armholes depending from the shoulders;
• a front panel and a back panel joined together along opposing side hems and terminating at the neckline and a bottom hem;
• and
• a two-way zipper assembly disposed on the top,
• wherein the two-way zipper assembly extends diagonally from a first terminus located at the neckline to a second terminus located at a sleeve hole region adjacent an armpit of the top;
• wherein the two-way zipper assembly comprises two strands of mateable zipper teeth, a first slider positioned at the first terminus, and a second slider positioned at the second terminus;
• wherein displacement of the first slider distally from the neckline unmatedly separates the zipper teeth to create a selectively openable first access opening adjacent the neckline;
• wherein displacement of the second slider distally from the sleeve hole region unmatedly separates the zipper teeth to create a selectively openable second access opening adjacent the armpit region;
• and
• wherein the first slider and the second slider are positionable to define a gap between them through which a medical tube or connector may be routed without substantial compression while the remainder of the garment remains worn by the wearer.
