Does anyone know where I can get men's shirts with press stud fastening, my husband is having increasing difficulty with buttons. I bought him a button fastener but he still finds that difficult and frequently forgets he has it or how to use it or will tell me it doesn't help of doesn't work!

I'm not sure press studs would be easier! Could you get him into a different style? Maybe something that goes over the head and just has a few buttons at the neck (that can be left undone anyway!)

Does he want to do it himself or would he prefer that you were his 'button fastener'?

My OH wears smart polo shirts for exactly the same reason.
Personally I think press studs are really fiddly.
If he insists on wearing shirts and wont let you do the buttons, could you sew the buttons onto the buttonholes and sew a small bit of velcro inplace of buttons?

Thanks @Jaded'n'faded and @canary .
He has a couple of shirts with press stud which he bought years ago from Rohan. They were very expensive. He managed them much better. I've tried to get him to wear polo shirts but he says they look scruffy. Don't really know why that's a problem when most of the time the only person who sees him is me!

Do you use e-Bay @yorkie46 ? If you don't mind second hand and happy with internet shopping and bidding/making offers, try typing "men's shirt with poppers" into e-Bay every now and then. I just tried out of interest and a few came up.
