Whenever I need to put on a suit, I have my caregivers put my arms above my head like I'm signaling a touchdown. Then just slide the coat straight down on my arms and behind my back. Ever since I got out of rehab, I cut all my winter and fall jackets in half straight up the back. Then I just slide them on like a smock and have my caregivers tuck them behind my back. I tell them they don't have to tuck the ends so far behind me that the ends touch - just enough to keep air out. I also have the alteration shop put a velcro strap at the back of the collar so it can be pulled tight. Hope that helps.
