Inclusive Fashion to us means fashion items that have been designed with every BODY in mind, including those with disability.
People have all different abilities. These differences have previously been ignored in the mainstream market. We at JAM believe that everyone has the right to clothing that enables them to complete this task, just like everyone else (whilst being able to show off their style)
People may experience difficulties with the physical demands of dressing (e.g. buttons or maneuvering arms), the intellectual demands (garment orientation/positioning), or sensory differences (irritation from tags and seams).
JAM was inspired by two awesome teens, Jack and Maddie - hence the name JAM! Want to get to know our story even more? Check out our video on our “About Us” page here
We believe that every person has the right to be able to express themselves through fashion. For too long, those that have a disability, have had to make clunky adjustments to their clothing, or have had to wear items that are adapted for the elderly or infants. Young people deserve to wear age-appropriate clothing items that are on-trend. At JAM, we choose to focus on the aesthetic of our items and brand, without jeopardising the functionality required by those with disability.
To promote universal design and in turn, inclusion for diversity in the Australian fashion industry.

Our jacket shells are made from 100% Polyester. The lining is 95% cotton, 5% elastane.
Water resistant means that the fabric that makes up the shell of the jacket does not absorb water (it just rolls right off). However, the jacket is not considered completely waterproof as the seams are not waterproof sealed.
Our tees and long sleeves are made from super stretchy, super comfy material with a sensory friendly design. If you want more info, head on over to our “Design Features” page here.
Anyone! This is what makes them INCLUSIVE. How cool would it be to walk down the street and see someone who looks completely different to you, wearing the same top.
95% Bamboo (For the softness), 5% Elastane (For the stretch).
The benefits of bamboo fabric include that it is super soft to touch, hypoallergenic, moisture wicking, anti-bacterial, breathable and thermo-regulating and naturally UV protectant
Elastane provides the extra bit of stretch that some people require to get into their tops. None of that dreaded “rip” as the seam struggles to stretch over your head.
