4243: Not just for men
I love these pants! I would not have looked at them, being advertised for men, except when my employer was overhauling our scrubs, we had a rep come to our place with various styles to try on. When I told the rep what I wanted he said to look at these. I am a female, 5‘7“, and wear a size large in women’s scrubs. I wear a medium size in these pants. I wanted pants that were not too clingy, that had cargo pockets that would fit an iPad mini, and if the pants did have double pockets, I wanted the smaller pocket on the outside, so I can slide my hand into the pocket next to the leg without getting it stuck in the small pocket. I needed an elasticized waist for quick bathroom trips, firm enough that when my pockets are full and heavy, my pants don’t slide down my hips. Also for the same reason, I did not want a “modern” fit. Since I wear my top on the outside of the pants, I was choosing function over “fashion.” The elastic waist is firm but not tight. It is about 1 inch in width, does not roll. There is also a drawstring to make the waist tighter on those days when your pockets are really heavy! But I rarely need to use it. The drawstring ends are short and don’t flap around if you leave them untied, and they stay in place. There are also pockets along the side seams . The material is soft and comfortable yet sturdy. 55 cotton/42 poly/3 spandex. The zippered front is barely noticeable. Easy to wash. I usually remove them from the dryer when halfway dry to avoid wrinkles. They don’t wrinkle that easily, but with the nature of the cotton, it looks a little more polished when I drape the pants over a hanger. I pair them up with tops 4710 and 4727 of the workwear core stretch. Read more
