Just an opinion, what do you currently like and dislike about current mens scrubs? the fit, comfort, pockets (lol).

I hate "mens" scrub bottoms that don't have a zipper fly in them.
lol a zipper would be pretty conveinent, do you feel as if scrub sizes are pretty true to size or do they run fairly too large?
Really depends on the brand (and the line within the brand).
I am a big guy. With Cherokee Workwear I wear a 2xl (short) bottom and a 4xl (Long) top. Tops fit great, but a little restrictive (no stretch in the material). Bottoms are OK, but again, no stretch in the material and I end up ripping the crotch.
I had some regular lenght 4xl tops and they did not fit well, so I had some 5xl regular length tops that fit good.
I got some Dickies Gen Flex in the same sizes (but they don't have short/long sizes). The top runs a bit smaller, but the material has some give to it so they do feel better (I don't like pocket placement though). The bottoms fit great (but are longer, not a big deal, just have to hem them) and the stretchy material feels great, no torn crotch on them. They are mens bottoms, but do not have a zipper fly, so I really don't like that.
I just got some Cherokee Workwear Stretch scrubs, same sizes as before (and again, no short or long options). They both were too small so I sent them back. I am waiting for the return to process so I can get the next larger size.

I used to wear Dickies but switched to Landau - much more comfortable to me.

Believe it or not but I actually thought that Scrubs were unisex for Nurses/Aides....Guess I need to open my eyes more in the store!

I though that, too.... Then I saw the bell-bottoms in a full length mirror and realized that it wasn't going for a vintage look.

If you buy online - def check the pockets. I got some cool ones and ended up just having one small pocket on the side?! Huge prob for me anyway.

I buy trauma shirts and trauma pants from Aviator Scrubs. The material is much heavier than what's found in the Dickies, Cherokee, and Landau... And they have pockets galore. And they fit a guys body shape pretty well

Cherokee cargo/elastic bottoms...awesome. I have yet to find a good/consistent top that fits well and lasts. ...ahhh but how great it is to never have to wear a suit a tie a belt...
