My new job requires hunter green scrubs, which already kind of limits brands available. My favorite scrub line (Radiance Flex) does not carry this color, can only be found in a few stores, and is being discontinued . I know that Cherokee makes hunter green, but my experience with Cherokee has been scratchy and uncomfortable.
I want scrubs that are:
-Hunter green (hue can vary, it just can't be olive or lime or anything drastically different from hunter green).
-Have lots of pockets on the top and bottom.
-Have BILATERAL cargo pockets on the pants. Hmph, I see too many pants that are advertised as cargo but only have one cargo pocket.
-No tie in the back of the top, as they dig into my back when I sit.
-Drawstring or half drawstring pants, as I don't fancy accidentally showing my panties to everyone.
-Boot leg pants preferred.
-Stretchy material that does not risk ripping in the seat if I squat down, and can still fit if I gain a few pounds. Seriously, I can't go back to non-stretchy cotton-poly.
-Not scratchy like the old and original Cherokee scrubs. When burning my nursing school scrubs, I found out that these type of scratchy scrubs melt when burned due to their high synthetic content. That would be bad in a car crash or a fire.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm going to hit a big scrub store when my care finally gets repaired, but some direction would be great!

Scrubsandbeyond.com lets you look at scrubs by color. Hunter green is a choice, so just click that and you can see most brands that carry the color. It'll give you a good idea of which brands have styles you like (cargo, many pockets, etc.).
