Custom Adaptive and Antimicrobial Clothing…and you

Mike — Mon, 23 May 2011 23:10:36 +0000

Do you have a limb condition due to diabetes, Lymphedema, broken bone, prosthesis or any other type of condition that affects the clothing you can wear? If you do we want to hear from you!

Would you like to have custom made clothing that specifically accommodates your individual condition allowing you to look and feel like all those who don’t have limb specific conditions? No more feeling self-conscious about how you look, a line of fashionable, everyday clothing products that gives you your dignity back which is so important to us all.

Now what if that clothing had the added benefit of rechargeable antimicrobial protection (and I dont mean a topical antimicrobial additive)? If you battling with a low or even no immunity system, would you feel safer knowing that the clothing your wearing is protected from germs and virus? How about your children, would you feel safer knowing that you are taking the steps you can to help protect them as well while they are in elements that you can not control like the baby sitterm day care or school?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!! We are working to provide these very products to you and we want to show our investors that there really is a truly need for these types of clothing products.

Please tell or pass this on to your family, friends and associates and tell us what you want and need.

Thanks and we look forward to hearing your comments and feedback!

High School Senior puts on a Benefit & Fundraiser to support the Lymphatic Research Foundation

Mike — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:14:46 +0000

In a recent posting here in our blog I introduced you all to Meagan Barnard, a Senior at Superior High School in Superior, Wisconsin. Meagan has Primary Lymphedema Praecox. For her senior project Meagan created a magazine called Limitless, to help those with conditions or disabilities to see that you can do whatever you put our mind to regardless of our condition or disability.

I am very excited to be able be involved with and to announce that Meagan is going to be holding a benefit and Fundraiser to raise awareness for Lymphedema and in finding a cure. Over 10 million people in the United States live with this condition which to date has no cure. All proceeds from the magazine and the fundraiser will be donated to the Lymphatic Research Foundation so that one day these brave individuals will have a cure for this condition once and for all!

Here’s the details:

Adaptive Clothing for the Developmentally Disabled

Mike — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 03:56:32 +0000

This past Friday night I had a great conversation with Carol B. regarding adaptive and accessible clothing for the developmentally disabled and she provided some great feedback to me regarding the need for the products we offer and that the market just does not know we are here, and how right she is. I am really looking forward to talking to her further.

What Carol said goes back to why I started this blog, to get the word out through the organizations and individuals that either live with a condition or who help those who live with one, to let them know that even though the economy has its problems and stores and manufacturing are cutting back, one thing is for sure, that I will not stop reaching out to help as many as I can to provide them with a clothing product that meets their specific need or needs and that will allow them to dress and feel great about themselves just as those of us without a need. It’s all about dignity and feeling good about ones-self.

I am very excited about where Cast Clothing is headed, we are poised to be the first one out of the starting block when the economic woes start to clear up, and I am very optimistic that it is going to happen soon!

Thanks to all of you who spread the word about Cast Clothing and the work we are doing, I sincerely appreciate everything you are doing for us!

A Market for Adaptive Clothing??

Mike — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 04:38:11 +0000

I have been reading various opinions about the fashion/clothing industry lately with the economy being the way it has been and the one thing I keep seeing still is that the focus is on the existing clothing lines and how to get the same people to continue to buy those products. Yet I don’t see any talk about the disabled or condition specific and clothing for them or from my standpoint, you! I want to know your thoughts, I have my opinions and thoughts (that’s why I started Cast Clothing) and I am very interested in learning yours.

I have had many people, including potential investors ask if there is really a market for the adaptive clothing products we are making. Please help me to tell them just how much of a market and need really exists.

Please tell me what you think about this.

Cast Clothing segment on Today’s Health

This is our segment that appeared on the television series Today’s Health.

Had a great question Friday

Mike — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 21:52:12 +0000

I was talking to a client on Friday and he had asked me if what is on our website is all that we offer, a great question and worthy of comment.

The clothing you see is a basic line of clothing that we offer as we work to establish what types and styles people are looking for, if you don’t see something please ask, for example our youth section is very limited on the web store, however I can get what ever you want. That goes for every category of clothing that is available. I want you to tell me what you want to wear, I don’t ever want to tell you what you have to wear by offering limited selections.

Keep the questions and comments coming so I know how I can be of assistance to you. Thank you!

News from Superior, Wisconsin

Mike — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:09:59 +0000

I have to introduce all of you to Meagan Barnard, an incredible young woman battling a disease who decided to reach out and help others in her same situation. Meagan became affected with Lymphedema during her freshman year in high school and I had the great pleasure to meet when Meagan sent me an email to point out (she was frustrated) that I didn’t have clothing for girls (and boys) her age who also live with this condition(and she was right), I tracked her down and we talked (to her parents too) and we hit it off immediately and I am very excited to have her as part of our team to help to reach out to every person who lives with Lymphedema and every other type of condtion or disability to let them you know that they do have options when it comes to everyday, fashionable clothing, especially jeans.

Take a look at Meagan’s story at the following link: http://www.northlandsnewscenter.com/news/local/37421284.html?video=YHI&t=a

Watch for Meagan to appear on the Cast Clothing website(www.castclothingco.com) with her own page where you, your kids or those you may know who live with this or any condition. You will be able to interact with her, share conversation, tips and create a social network where you can all help each other. I promise you that we are going to make this an incredible and invaluable networking avenue for everyone!

Remember for Meagan it started out with a pair of pants!
