01 / WHY
You should get to struggle in a straitjacket—
not struggle to find one.
Curiosity can start with escape artistry, history, performance or consensual restraint. Too often the next step is blocked by confusing sizes, questionable quality and no honest explanation of what you are buying. Straitjacket Struggles exists to lower those barriers.

SEGUFIX-style hardware03 / FIT & SAFETY
Imported labels rarely tell the whole story. Our patterns are developed around familiar Western T-shirt sizing, then checked against the measurements that matter for each design.
Ask a sizing questionEach product has its own fit. Check the current product chart before ordering, especially at size boundaries.
For consenting adults only. Maintain continuous supervision and immediate access to every release.
Entry-level materials prioritize accessibility and feel. They are not designed to withstand deliberate destructive force.
04 / THE STORY
Straitjacket Struggles is a founder-led small business—not a faceless dropshipping page. We work directly with a specialist manufacturing partner, revising common entry-level designs—including the Experimentalist and Asylum Adventurer—with better straps, reinforcement and sizing before putting our name on them.
The long-term goal is larger than a product catalog: better access for newcomers, more thoughtful designs for enthusiasts, and a digital archive that preserves the remarkable variety of straitjackets across history and the world.
