As a 6'4" guy finding a covering that goes to mid calf or lower for use while sitting in a wheelchair without pants has been near impossible.
I tried several hospital gowns from many companies. Most came down to just cover the knee. Buck and Buck, Silverton, and many more. Also tried the cotton T-Shirt night gowns. As I'm not lady like, when I cross my legs a gown that doesn't drape nearly to my feet is a problem, LOL.
I did consider kilts. They weren't long enough for the wheelchair for me plus they aren't cheap. (They would have looked good on me!)
I had a problem with diarrhea yesterday and needed a solution for running around the house in my PWC with family around. I tried my wife's Snuggie. That works fine. Goes about to my feet and is a soft material.
For me it looks like when I have to use a hospital gown all the time in the future, I'm going with the Snuggie.
Sad that I can't use the kilts. LOL
