Koi Scrubs

Published

Anyone else love them as much as I do? I bought pretty much every color of the Lindsey pants. They are so soft, comfortable and I like all the pockets! The only part I don't care for is they run a little small, so I had to get a larger size lol. I also wish, they'd go down a little in price.

I have a pair of the white Lindsey pants. They are probably a little see-through but as long as you wear skin-colored underwear (not white) you can't see through them.

Can't believe I had to learn on Oprah to wear skin colored bras and underwear under white shirts and pants because they don't show--am I the only person who didn't know this? LOL.

It is so funny that you bring this up...I did not know this until I was shopping with my mom recently. She told me that her mother had taught her to by skin colored bras and underwear....not white. I can't believe she did not tell me this until I was in my thirties!

Thanks guys - I discovered that they had the lindsey pants in white at a local uniform store so I could try them on (wearing nude colored underwear of course :) ). They are kind of seethrough but the back pockets provide some camouflauge, so it wasn't too bad. They are very comfortable, and I ended up buying a pair. I was actually tempted to buy them in another color to wear as normal pants.

Glad I'm not the only one who was in the dark about the nude-colored undergarments. I really didn't believe it until I tried it. Even with a tight little white T-shirt a nude bra virtually disappears--amazing.

OK I just got a pair of the white Lindsey pants, wore them today, and they're great. Just be sure, as the other posters have said, that you wear nude (not white) underwear with them. Perfect for summer, and love, love, love all those pockets!

I finally got my hands on some Koi pants. I wear talls and they seem to be on backorder everywhere, so it took awhile.

I got both the Lindsey and the Marissa pants. I found that the Lindsey ran bigger than the Marissa so I needed a large Marissa but a medium Lindsey. Go figure. I thought the fabric for both of them was a good quality; I've seen much thinner white scrub pant fabric.

I like both of the pants for different reasons. The Lindseys are so comfortable and look great on me, but the Marissas have a flat waistband with no big floppy ties so that it gives a smoother fit under my tops. I'm eager to see how they fit once they are washed. I won't buy any more until I'm sure of which size fits best after they are laundered.

My only gripe is that the talls aren't as long as I would like, which is true of pretty much every tall scrub pant I've ever tried. I plan on letting out the hems and facing them with some white hem tape.

I also got most of the tops that come in white. So far, the fit is consistent and all of the mediums fit.

By way of comparison, I wear a medium in Urbanes.

Just a warning about the Koi tops--I have an Annie top which is the combo scrub top and comes with a long-sleeve T-shirt. The long-sleeve T-shirt shrunk to about Barbie size the first time I washed it so I can't even wear it anymore. I could still get it on but the sleeves were ridiculously short.

Other than that I love my Koi scrubs and have converted a few co-workers.

Has anyone tried the Karlie model of Koi scrub pants? I am thinking of buying one of the Lindsey and one of them. They look so cute, but I don't want them if the pockets won't hold my things securely. Thanks!

They're gorgeous!

Bought these pants in a small - how much shrinkage should I expect?

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Koi scrubs! That is all I buy anymore.

The pants seem to run about the same as Urbane and Landau, but the tops run small. I wear a small in top and bottom, but with Koi I have to get a medium top, still small pants though.

Okay, this might be asking too much, but I am trying to buy the koi scrubs (lindsay pant and harlow top) and would like a bit of advice on sizing. The fact that they say a SMALL is a 6/8 is making me a little nervous. I am definitely a 2, MAYBE a 4 in some cases and thats what they say an XS is, but my inches match up pretty closely to the "small". I am 5' 4" and 115 pounds and I usually consider myself to be pretty fit (ordering a size 6/8 is a little unnerving, though!). Right now, judging by what you all say, I am leaning toward a small in both, but if anyone has any advice on this, I would really appreciate it! Would rather not have to return and get new sizes if I can help it!! Thank you! :D
