Nurses Men
Published May 10, 2007
what brands and style I decided I am gonna order some off the net because I am sick of the unisex crap. I have been looking at the Aviator scrubs and they seem pretty nice.

Never tried dickies.
Landau works well for me. As does, surprisingly... tender hearts.

I bought five sets of the Aviators. I wore them to work for the first time today. Great fit, great material, and I love having all of the pockets. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am a judo player and about 225 lbs and 6'0. Look nothing like a nurse, more like a bouncer and typical scrubs could never fit me right.

I want to buy aviators, but nurses are required to wear "galaxy blue" at my facility, and they don't appear to have this specific shade.

Larry77 mentioned Aviator scrubs back when I was first starting my ABSN program, so I took his advice. I'm glad I did. They look great, are tough, and they have as many pockets as you could ever want--I can't tell you how useful the pen-pockets on the sleeves are! People are always loosing pens or laying them down on dirty surfaces, and I have mine right where I need it. Thanks Larry77

Landau makes a galaxy blue color?
Intriguing. Too bad none of theirs I've tried have fit me worth a damn. The difference between L and XL for them is huge. L is too small, XL is big enough for an entire family of circus performers to live in.

I'll have to break the "Aviator is best" theme. I got a set of the "light duty" or whatever they call them. I am ALWAYS hot, I thought a lighter weight fabric would be better for me.
After a few months the velcro on the large leg pockets is almost gone, like all the little hooks just fell off, the pockets won't stay closed now. The fabric also balled up a lot. I have to lint roll myself before I leave for work, and that doesn't pull all of them off.
I might try their "standard" weight in the future, but I'm afraid they will be too hot.
Now I'm buying Cherokee Workwear from allheart.com.

Wash them inside out. Learned that from other pants, shorts and jackets with velcro. My ER is pretty much always the same temp and I find the Aviator standard weight to be very comfortable without any lint issues.
I get my scrub tops from Walmart and www.frederickuniforms.com.
