Hi to all, I don't know what I would do without Allnurses. I had a pair of Cherokee scrubs that were made of some stretchy material. I had them in my car as a backup for work as a CNA and another CNA got her uniform soiled and needed a pair so I let her use them. She never returned them and left the job so I have no idea what they were made of. I had bought them at a thrift shop. I believe they had spandex in them but they look like the Cherokee boxer scrub pants with the wide waist band. Does anyone know if they have spandex or is the boxer scrubs with poly/cotton material? I need to know before I buy them, I have not seen them in any of the uniform stores close to me so I was going to buy them online. If there is a uniform that has spandex or stretchy material please let me know. I loved them for bending. Thanks BB:bowingpur

Hi - I know what you mean about stretch fabric - it makes all the difference. Just for your info I did buy a few tops from a scrubs website - it's called allheart.com. Sadly, they are not stretch, but the service is fast, they are great looking - the site carries lots of brands and cool colors. If you find some good stretch tops, please let me know. I "cheat" a little with the scrub pants because I can't tolerate fabric without stretch and have never found satisfactory stretch scrub pants. I get relaxed fit legging type pants and they are extremely comfortable. Baby Phat has some very nice tops - what a challenge to try to make scrubs look good, but it's fun anyway. In any case, you'll find a lot of stuff there and you get a discount coupon if you buy from them. Good luck!

I don't know about stretchy Cherokee scrubs, but I love the Iguana scrubs. They're stretchy and have a soft finish. The price is very reasonable, too.

I know Cherokee Workwear scrubs have the stretchy elastic waist, but I haven't seen any where the whole uniform is stretchy. Check out allheart.com though, I always order scrubs from them and if you click on their link for Cherokee, you'll see theres a few different types from them. Good luck on your search!

I had a pair of Cherokee scrubs that were made of some stretchy material.
If it's what I'm thinking of....it's Cherokee Stretch Sateen. It has like 3% spandex or lycra in the material, therefore making it mildy stretchy. They are hard to find. Jen's Scrubs has a couple of different other manufactures of those type of scrubs. So does Smart Scrubs. Hope that's what you're looking for.

There is a grouping of Cherokee scrubs called "flexibles" that have spandex on the side - hope that helps!

I have some of the Cherokee Flexibles and some of the Tafford Comfortstretch that are the same thing!
The whole things aren't stretchy, but there are stretchy panels on the sides of the top and at the waist of the pants. They are super comfortable, I recommend them.

I know its been years since you posted this question but I think what you were looking for was Cherokee BODY. They were 64% polyester, 33% cotton and 3% spandex throughout the whole pant and top. They were the best and I bought ever color of them when they came out. I am not sure if they still sell them. Hope this helps.
THEY DO STILL SELL THEM...YAY! If you just google it sites carrying that line will pop up. The Body by Cherokee pair of pants I have are pull ons with no drawstring and the style number is still the same 2094. Hope this helps.

I'd been looking for stretchy scrubs too; I finally found a line of scrubs that have spandex in them. They are not Cherokee but they are my new favorite. Thought I'd share.
The NRG line of scrubs by Barco are made of poly 74% / rayon 22 % / spandex 4%. So soft, comfy, and stylish. I ordered my scrubs online from Heckman Health Care Services and Supplies. Their online service is new and their scrubs are very competitively priced. My order actually arrived within three days. Loving It.
