Thank You
Scrubcraze StoreI look for the best price for everything I buy but I don't skimp on something I want...if you're talking about scrubs I wear what is required where I'm working.
I like the scrubs with the elastic bottoms---keeps the snow outta my socks! Plus, keeps my legs warmer. :D
thank you for your replies keep them coming
I prefer a well-made house brand because the price is more reasonable. I used to buy from uniform express, but they withdrew their house brand. Now I buy the house brand at uniform advantage.
I wear hospital issue scrubs. I used to buy scrubs, but they aren't as comfortable, and aren't as durable. I haven't paid for scrubs in years....
I'm typically shopping for navy blue pants, scrub hats (not often, though, i make my own) and white button-down scrub tops.
One thing that drives me bonkers about pants is that there are companies that think a 30" inseam is a woman's "tall." WRONG!!! I need a 34" inseam, and i work with females that are taller than me, and most of them have to have their pants made for them. On the other hand, i've met some 5 ft tall males that gripe about men's pants being made for the Green Giant, who have to have their pants altered so they aren't dragging 10 inches of legs around.
On top of that, some companies do not specify the inseam measurement, except for "average" or "tall" and no numbers.
In case it doesn't show, i hate shopping lol. Unless it's craft stuff. Or shoes.
Anyway, Landau and Cherokee i've had the best luck with when it comes to scrubs, they are comfortable, don't resemble burlap sacks in style, the color holds well, and they don't thin out quickly.
:offtopic: I hear about the inseam bit, Marie. I like the Landau's with the 'scrunch' at the bottom of the legs, as I do NOT have to hem the damn things. Irritates the heck outta me to hem.
I hung up my scrubs last year as my current job is more administrative and I don't need to wear them. But I always like solid colors and heavier material like ****ies - I wore a lot of prints around the holidays as well.
Hppy
I recently have discovered eBay for buying my scrubs, very cheap and have a great variety of different types and styles. I got the idea from this article.
