I recently purchased two sets of scrubs from aviatorscrubs.com, and I love them. I will definately buy some more when I "phase out" my next set of old scrubs.

This is coming from a Swede, and thus someone from another cultural context than you guys. Our jobs are the same though. I have browsed through some threads in this awesome forum and every now and then this discussion about scrubs comes up, and some aspects regarding scrubs in the US fascinate me!

*You seem to think it is very important to be able to choose and pick your color and layout of the scrubs. here they are available in three colors, namely blue, white and green (green for people working in the OR only). i have never even thought about wanting to have red, yellow, or any other color for that matter. it is a workplace and not a fashion show. coming from a military background i kinda like the uniformity of working in a hospital.

*you have to buy your clothes whereas here they are provided by the workplace. we are under stern orders to change them every day. buying and washing them yourselves, how often do you change scrubs? we don't even wear scrubs to and from work, we have to change to a new set each time we arrive at work.

not critisism on my part, like i said, i just find the differences fascinating.

I have seen guys wear all kinds of scrubs, there is a guy I wokr with that has alot of the "female type" prints as well. Most guys I see though wear the solid colors. I myself have had a favorite pair of scrubs for 4 years!!, but they still look good and I hate buying new clothes. There is now place here in OK that I know of that provides scrubs at work, except when you work in OR. Other than that you provide your own.

Heh. I'm a woman and I can't wear unisex either - big rear, small waist. Unisex srubs give me gigundor excess fabric around the drawstring.

Norseguy, I can't imagine wearing the same scrubs twice! Ick! Gross! Poopy and snot and yuck on them! Feh! I wash and iron them myself - I don't buy that "permanent press" business. ;)

I hate to wear the same scrubs one day after the other. I only like prints.I found a company that has a great variety of pretty prints. perfect scrubs.com.

Check out allheart.com Or if there is a particular brand you want, go to that website and find out who your local dealers are. Also, scrub shops can order just about any style# that is made, even if they don't carry it in stock.

I am also 6'5" and weigh 285. I buy my scrubs at bigandtallmart.com. Nothing fancy, one shirt pocket and a pocket for my wallet. The 2xlt fit well and are made of a heavy material. 28.00/set

I'm 6'5" and thin. All scrubs seem to be way to short or they think tall=fat too. Even the "tall" scrubs are too short. Anybody know any good scrubs for tall people.
