Happy New Year and Thank You for a Great 2010!

2011 is going to be an exciting year for all of us at The Cast Clothing Co as we are planning the official launch of our Men’s and Women’s lines of Adaptive Clothing as well as the very first re-chargeable, anti-bacterial line of baby clothing and products. Our Men’s and Boy’s line is “R Marquis Men’s and Boys Custom Adaptive Fashions”. “Olivia Mychals Women’s and Junior’s Custom Adaptive Fashions” is our women’s and young ladies line and we are very excited to be able to launch the first line of re-chargeable, anti-bacterial baby clothing and products with the launch of “Baby O” by Olivia Mychals. 

Although much work still needs to be done we are very excited to be able to take this next step in our growth. Our clientele range in age from infant to senior and many of these individuals have low or no immunity system due to their condition or disability and now for the first time we will be able to provide an extra line of defense that can help fight the many threatening infections that have reached or are reaching global concern. From the very beginning my goal for Cast Clothing has been to provide and fashionable everyday clothing option for the many individuals who live with limb conditions whether temporary or permanent and now we will be able to do this and have the added anti-bacterial protection to help reduce the risk of infection that can be picked up in every day settings. I have been asked if this only for those with a limb condition or who need modified clothing, absolutely not, once we are up and running with our custom clothing we will also be able to provide this same anti-bacterial to any of our custom clothing clients.

As we move forward with this I will be posting more about our progress. If in-the-mean-time you have questions, I invite you to drop me an email at Mike@CastClothingCo.com at any time. 

Healthcare and Community Acquired Infections are a major issue in our society today and more work needs to be done to help protect all of us from the likes of MRSA, H1N1 and C-difficile as an example and we have been working with a major partner in the Infection Control arena who has the leading technology on the market and we are very excited to be able to take this to the next level for the millions of individuals who can benefit the most from the products we provide not only here in the United States but throughout the World.

All of us at The Cast Clothing Co wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2011! I invite you to check back for updates as the year progresses and if there is ever anything we can do to help you, your family or friends, please let me know.

All the best,

Mike

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

I am very excited to get this blog up and running so that I can hear from you directly about your individual needs when it comes to Adaptive and Custom-made Adaptive Clothing.

Oh but before we get to that, I am Mike Harding, the owner and President of The Cast Clothing Co, we provide fashionable, everyday adaptive and custom-made adaptive clothing for individuals who may live with one of a variety of conditions that affects their limbs, whether temporary or permanent, and what they can wear. There is no reason why living with a condition to your limb should hold you back from going about your daily routine, I developed Cast Clothing to accommodate the clothing needs of people who have have always found it hard to wear clothing due to their individual, specific condition. Our goal is to take away the self-consciousness that many people with conditions live with and to return the dignity to ones life that we all deserve. (Side note: I prefer to use “condition specific” rather than “disability”, so when possible I will)

Ok, enough about me, (I can get into more if you want so just let me know) I want to know more about you and what your needs are. This blog is to do just that, a place where we can all share the trials and tribulations, frustrations and joys that you may go through on a daily basis when it comes to clothing, dressing and/or finding clothing that actually fits you and your specific need and to create an atmosphere where we can help each other. Of course this goes without saying, let’s all be respectful of the others who are here with us.

So whether you may have a broken arm or leg and wear a cast, brace or compression wrap, live with Lymphedema or wear a prosthesis, use a wheel/mobility chair, have diabetes, Military men or women who have returned with an injury that affects how you now live your life , or have any other condition or disability that affects your limb or limbs, I invite you to share that with us.

In this blog I am going to share stories, news bits, articles, upcoming events that we will be participating in, helpful links, and just about anything else I can find that will be of some help to you. I am going to ask professional’s from various organizations, companies, hospitals, rehabilitation specialists and just about anyone else you may want to hear from to join us.  With my goal to have Cast Clothing be the most complete, one-stop adaptive clothing and accessory company out there, I want this site to be the most complete and informative adaptive site on the web.

Thank you for joining us and lets get this party started…..
