Nurses General Nursing

For the nurses 5'10" and taller, could you please tell me where you found scrubs long enough (@ least 34 inch inseam). All these catalogs and stores seem to think that a "tall" is 32 inches, as if no one over 5'8" wants to be a nurse. Thanks.

Hi, I can relate. I am 6' ft. I ordered many tall brands on-line, spent alot to return them. Finally, I went down to a uniform store and tried on MANY pairs of pants. Finally I found a some. G.A.L.S. of california and a Cherokee pair. I had ordered Cherokee on-line in talls, but they were too short. It's a crazy world out there!!:) JCPenney carries ultra tall, can be quite high waisted though.

Im 6-2, male and buy scrubs off the rack all the time and have never had a problem. It depends on which ones you buy as well. The unisex ones tend to be the ones I get and they must be longer.

I am 6'0" and haven't had any problem with scrub pants. I go to Alexandria Workwear, but I think that this may be a UK company only. Should be arriving in Phoenix soon so hope I can find scrubs long enough over there.

By the way, all this talk of long legs is making it difficult for me to concentrate! :rolleyes:

These are pretty long, fit like they have a 35 inch inseam. I thought the Barco's 'talls' were not very tall, FLOODS!!:)

Good luck.

my fave uniforms are made by lizzy b, and maple sheild (canadian). inseam in size small is 33.5" exactly. (go figure). i always thought that i was better off being tall, as i hear the shorter girls talk about having to hem their pants.

could you post the websites? i have trouble finding pants long enough, would also love to have link for tall flare uniform/scrub pants! i need at least 33 inseam.

thanks,

cheryl

i found a website for lizzy b http://www.lizzy-b.com/

aswell just wanted to mention that for flared scrub like pants i love modrobes! (they're not "really" uniform pants, but who can tell the difference) super comfy, and they are long! http://www.modrobes.com/

i am glad there are other women with the same problem as me! I am a new nurse and am having a hard time buying scrubs that fit. It seems like the only scrubs with a long inseam are mens or unisex scrubs (and are huge on me). I just want to be able to wear pants that fit! I wear a medium landau pant, but they are about 3" too short. They only have certain styles that some in long. So...I made my own. I bought a pattern from the cloth store and added length to the pants. The best part is that I added as many pockets as I wanted.

I have a hard time with this. Am close to 6'0 and am super skinny (120ish). I look like an idiot in larges and nothing is quite long enough otherwise.

I am tall 5'11" and slim, I wear cherokee brand tall size (I wear the flares). I believe they are at least 34 1/2 inches long, the longest ones I have seen in my short career.

They are sized big though so if you normally wear a medium you will take a small in cherokee.

I think it is funny when the catalogs advertise "now in petite sizes" and then the "talls" are 34 inches long...............I also HATE when my socks/legs show when I am seated.

I like the Cherokee long ones ... just discovered 'em! The ones that are kind of flared with a slit at the side are great. I'll definitely be looking up some of these other brands though! My sister in law sent me a pair from somewhere in Canada ... Flirefly, i think? They're super SUPER soft and long.

The Cherokee tall sizes do well for me, 6 foot, 185 lbs. Not long enough to drag on the floor, but do reach below the top of my shoes. I googled scrubs on line, and found them for under $15. I think I got them from Allheart online.
