Getting ready to order some scrubs from Aviator and want to do my bet to make sure I order the right size the first time so I don't have to deal with the hassle of exchanging. I am 5'10" about 195 right now. My jeans are 34/32. When wearing generic scrubs I generally wear large pants and tops, but I have heard that aviator runs large. Looking at the sizing chart I am still not sure if I should stay with large or try mediums. Any words of advice from guys close to my size would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm 6'2", 215lbs, I get Aviator's XL pants and still add 2 inches to the length, I also add 4 inches in length to their XL scrub tops. You're a bit shorter, although I also have some 34/32 pants (as well as 34/34), but I'd still go for the L rather than the M, they are partly polyester but they will still shrink.
Thanks for the input. Any others' input before I order in e next couple days would be appreciated as well.

I am 6' 200 lbs. Normally I wear 34 jeans. I comfortably wear medium shirt and pants. I do add 2" to the shirts though as I don't want the risk of hearing omg I see your underwear when bending over to count the Pyxsis.

on that note, i had a colleague of mine when he bend over to do whatever task one could see his red thong creeping out

I'm 5'8 and have gone from about 195 to 175 in the past 4 months and I have always fit into size M Aviator Scrubs. The fight is a little more snug but not tight. I prefer this since don't like super baggy scrubs. My waist size sounds to be about the same as yours so I think you can do a medium. I just bought 4 more scrubs sets from them 2 weeks ago!
As a reference FYI, my thumbnail pic is me wearing a medium Dickies scrub top and the one on my profile with all the kids holding toothbrushes is me wearing a medium Aviator scrub top (with thin undershirts) These pics are from 2 years ago when I was on the heavier side, probably mid 180s to low 190s. Hope this helps!

I'm 5'11 175 and I went with the large pants, which seem a little too big, mainly in the length. I've gotten used to them and they are not bad and you could always have someone shorten the legs. But I think the medium would probably work for ya.
