Hey everyone! I made the stupid mistake of leaving a pen in my uniform pocket of light uniforms, washed and then dried them. As a result 75% of my uniforms are ruined!!! I tried hairspray, shout, carpet cleaner. Just not working.

Anyway I've been trying to search for threads on uniform websites but keep getting too many threads.

Can anyone reccomend any of the online uniform websites. I am looking for Crest and Cherokee specifically flare pants and 2 pocket tops with lots of colors. Crest their purse pocket style flare pant and cherokee lowrise flare workwear pant.

I looked at http://www.a1scrubs.com/ That have EXACTLY what I'm looking for but I'm concerned if they are reputable. Any suggestions what worked for you? I tried amazon.com b/c I used them before but there is limitted selection. Thanks!

Did you try allheart? I'm not sure if its allheart.com but try that.

LOL we just talked about this 2 days ago! I'm sure if you just went back like threads within the last 24 hours you can find it there :) That would be better than doing a search. There was so much good advice offered. Many had made the same mistake as you.

Just a note: I got a couple uniform tops and a pair of pants from allheart and they were 100 percent cotton and shrunk and wrinkled in the wash. I liked the cheapies I bought as WalMart better because they didn't shrink or wrinkle and only cost about $5 more.

I've been pleased with www.jascouniform.com. I received all of my orders promptly and their prices seem competitive. Regarding the site you listed, why not try it out? Order with a credit card to give yourself some "buyer protection" in case they turn out to be not-so-reputable, but I'm sure it will turn out fine. Good luck! :)

Hey thanks for the tips. I did however purchase new scrubs from http://www.marcusuniforms.com and got them within a week which was great. However shipping is expensive if you don't buy in bulk. Thanks everyone. I'm going to try a detergent pen thing for my favorite ones.
