Options for scrub pants

Published

I begin nursing school next month and went to my school bookstore to buy the scrubs. Was not a fan of the pants. I'm pretty muscular, 5'll and 210 lbs. I want something that fits well and has ample pockets. I did a search and found some older posts that mention aviator and landau pants. Any other options? I need to buy black pants. Thanks for your time.

My favorite scrub pants are Cherokee 4000. They fit well, have ample pockets, a zip fly and elastic waist. Murseworld.com has them, I like that site because they just sell for men.

I ended up buying some Carhartt pants online and went to my local scrub store(sad to say I did not even know that store was in my hometown) and bought a pair of Cherokee. Both had zippers/drawstrings. Both have lots of pockets. I like the material better on the Carhartt. I did like the zipper option on both. The Cherokee were $17 and the Carhartt were $22.

Carhartts have zippers too? I need to check them out. I do wish the Cherokees were more durable. How was the sizing of Cherokee vs carhartt?

Yeah, Carharrts have Zipper. I like the fit on the Cherokee. They are a little baggie. I like the material on the Carharrts more. Seems like a little lighter material but are a bit snug on my quads. I have a 34-36 waist and wear the large.

I really like WonderWinks. They have specific ones for men.

I like Aviators and I am a girl. The belt really keeps the pants up and they are a thicker material.

Those tops are nice. On my Cherokee's I have rip a pocket or two when my tops catch a door knob. The winks pockets look more hidden.

Black pants...you lucky punters. I'm trying to transition from EMS-land and can't get used to going to work in white pajamas. Ugh,

It was hard for me to make the transition from medic pants to scrubs. I'm glad I don't have to wear white. Grey for work and will be navy blue for clinicals in the fall.

Anyone know where I can find 2 Pocket V-Neck scrub tops? Everything I am finding is one pocket, 3 pocket, etc... I have no idea why my school requires 2 pocket V-neck only in Ceil Blue. Our mandatory meeting is at the end of next week and our school uniform supplier is going to be there. I was told that they are more expensive than online options though. Every dollar counts. especially with $250 plus books to be bought soon. Thanks

I wear carhartts. They have a button and zipper, so it's just like wearing real pants.

The new style Greys Anatomy scrubs for men are the bomb. The Derek style or whatever they are called. Both the top and bottoms are much more comfortable than any other I've own. However, you do pay more for these.
