I bought buttersoft and Landeau. I hate them because they're stiff. I hate them. I hate them. Did I mention I hate them?Do any scrubs come with eleatic, so I freely move? Why aren't they like cotton t-shirts?

Nov 14, 2014 I hate stiff scrubs too, I bought a pair of Urbane Performance scrubs and it feels like a tshirt and theyre soft and pretty durable and I absolutely love them. If you want something a little more elastic feeling then I would suggest Smitten brand. Smitten even has a little strap for a badge so it doesn't pull your shirt neck down.

They are very soft and stretchy. And if you hang them up, the wrinkles just fall out of them.I agree, Landau can be very stiff. My school uses them. They were very rough, but they have started to soften up. I have to iron them every time in order to look decent.

SoaringOwl 143 Posts Specializes in Med-Surg and Neuro. Nov 15, 2014 Another problem I have is I need tall tops to be comfortable, and so far only landeau seems to have tall scrub tops in women's sizes. Barco and Urbane Performance don't seem to make tall. I know I can buy men's or unisex, but that looks awful. Thanks for the suggestions.

SoaringOwl 143 Posts Specializes in Med-Surg and Neuro. Nov 18, 2014 I've ordered some new stuff. Not in tall, it seems that isn't going to happen. I'll check out your suggestions apples and misty. Thanks!

Nov 18, 2014 Have you considered contacting a local 'seamstress' to create scrubs that fit your exact specifications? There are plenty of commercially available patterns for all types of scrubs & you just have to purchase the fabric. It's not as expensive as you think. Local fabric stores usually have the name of reliable seamstresses.
