Soft scrubs for a tall skinny male=don't exist

I have to wear white or jade/teal scrubs. I am tall (I need like a 33" inseam) and skinny (wear small shirts, and have a 31-32 waist). I am having the damnedest time finding any scrubs that fit the bill. I bought cherokee workwear (55% cotton 45% poly) & dickies sandwashed scrubs from Lydia's uniforms. But they are super plastic feeling and stiff.

Does anyone know of softer ones? 100% cotton are all like prints or lack pockets (i need cargo pockets and shirts with more than 1 pocket ideally). Do they break in at all? I am thinking about returning them.

I too recommend smartscrubs.com... Best part is they give a POSTAGE PAID return envelope if you are not satisfied. The poly-cotton blend is LOVELY.

When I work I like to feel "dressed". I don't like to go to work in pajama's.

I found the only scrubs I like are from aviatorscrubs.com. I have been buying from them for years now. I'm in Cleveland and they are in California...

No problem though. They will even custom make scrubs.

I am a bean pole too - 32 waist with a 34 inseam. I get my scrubs from Aviator - you have to special order the long sizes but they are worth the wait and the price.

What?!? You're a MAN! You're supposed to be wearing scrubs made out of burlap sacks!

I think they're in Texas. You can order online but the interface is kind of confusing. I'd call to place my order, they're really nice and easy to deal with on the phone.

I like the way Landau scrubs feel. I just pay a seamstress to add 6 inches onto the bottom of them :)

Yes Yes! THere are good scrubs for us bean poles!

Thank you for this!

I'm tall (6' barefoot) and super-skinny! (28"waist) I have ridiculously long legs (36' inseam) and can never find anything that makes me does look like I'm wearing a tent!
