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.
I'm currently rocking Cherokee Workwear scrubs, 2 pocket tops (which I love) and elastic band cargo pants (which I have a love hate relationship with). I love the pockets and the waist fit, but I hate the ankle cut. They have this pistol-leg tapering that is just not flattering. I hate pants that are narrow at the ankle such that the tongue of my shoe sticks out.
That being said...
How do the Aviator pants fit at the ankle? I'm looking for a cargo pant that has a relaxed fit and either a wide-leg or a boot-cut (not a flare-leg, mind you). The waist I don't care if it's elastic or drawstring, zipper or not. I would PREFER a zipper and elastic..but I'll take what I can get as long as I can get rid of this tapered ankle crap! Thanks!

Aviators are relaxed cut and the ankle doesn't taper. Just remember to wash 'em inside out to preserve the velcro on the pockets & equipment holder straps. Also wash 'em with like colors until you're sure they won't bleed anymore. I have burgundy & black classic cargo pants. Both colors bled for the 1st 3-4 washes but didn't fade. The waist is elastic with a built-in belt. Zippers are an additional expense option.
Lotsa pockets are great. I have my stuff divided up as follows:
Right cargo pocket - PDA
Right cargo pocket equipment holder #1 - EMS shears
Right cargo pocket equipment holder #2 - kelly clamp
Right slash pocket - cell phone
Right lower leg pocket - ACLS & PALS reference cards
Left cargo pocket - gum
Left cargo pocket equipment holder #1 - carpuject
Left cargo pocket pen holder - 2 spare pens
Left lower leg pocket - schedule (I'm workin' when?) and/or whatever was in my mail slot.
I too must sway from the Aviators trend... I had a friend suggest them. And while they do last a LONG time, all I had to do was try them on to realize how hot they would be (I'm in Florida). And the fit is odd, if you notice on their website, all the 'models' have them pulled up to their nipple line. Well, I believe that is how they intend for you to wear them. When I put them on my waste, I've got a 10 inch crotch.
The end of May/June I believe is Aviator's anniversary. They offer 25% off during this time - the best deal you can get on their scrubs. Just a tip for those looking into them.
I'm giving Iguanamed a try, otherwise I'm going to take sewing classes, and finally use my business degree...

I buy all my own material and my wife makes my scrubs. This makes them very personalized and unique. So if you or wife can use a sewing machine go out get a pattern and make your own. I love mine plus the fact my wife made them makes me appreciate them more.
