Simply The Best Men's Jogger Scrub Pants

To say that all men’s scrub joggers were created equal is simply not true. In fact, there are two rather distinct categories: TiScrubs Men’s Jogger Scrub Pants – and everybody else’s. The obvious difference between our Men’s Jogger Pants and those made by other scrub brands (who shall remain nameless here so as not to shame them for their misguided efforts) is that TiScrubs Men’s Jogger Pants were designed for men and other brands seem to have made them purely as an afterthought. Something like, “Hey, if we add a fly to these, don’t you think we could sell these to guys, too?” A reasonable assumption is that, if you’re looking at men’s pants, you’re hoping – and expecting – to find a somewhat masculine fit or style; otherwise, you’d be perusing the women’s pants, right? Men’s scrubs that make you look like you have a little testosterone in there is usually a plus. Men’s scrub pants need to have a certain feature, or five, to ensure that the dude wearing them doesn’t look, um, soft. It’s in the cut. The fabric. The stitching. The drawstring. (Don’t even get us started on the contrasting-color, pastel drawstrings we’ve seen out there lately. Really, people?) Let’s talk about the cut. Last time we checked, men weren’t super excited about having skinny-looking, tree twig calves and ankles. The cut of our Men’s Jogger Scrubs makes even skinny calves look muscular. In addition to the way our scrub joggers are cut below the knee, they also have strong ankle cuffs, which make your ankles look strong and sturdy. With three rows of stitching.The fabric is key, and we know that, which is why our fabric has a certain structure to it. Though it feels silky and smooth, it looks structured. Other brands may have soft fabric, but their soft fabric is also soft-looking – around the ankles, around the crotch. No bueno. Although stitching is something the layperson doesn’t think of, it makes all the difference in fashion. There are stitches that are barely there, and there are stitches that are noticeable. Most men’s clothing looks best with bold stitching because it accentuates the masculine features of the pants, shirt or jacket. For example, bold stitching accentuates masculine pockets and seams, which in turn makes the item look more masculine. TiScrubs Men’s Jogger Scrub Pants have masculine front pockets and hidden pockets on the derriere that you can actually see and appreciate because of the bold stitching. Same goes for the side seams and the cuffs – the stitching is noticeable, and therefore makes the pants – and the man wearing them – look strong and athletic. Who doesn’t want to look like that? But, alas, bad-looking men’s scrub joggers abound everywhere.  Except for ours. And that’s because our Men’s Jogger Scrub Pants were made and designed with men in mind. Go figure.

Scrub Jackets That Don’t Suck

Whether you’re a nurse or a doctor, a dental assistant or a dentist, a vet tech or a veterinarian, a scrub jacket might be just what you need. There are lots of reasons why you may want – or need – to cover up at work. Not all tattoos are work-appropriate. Or, maybe the office is just a little on the nippy side. Perhaps you need to have your arms protected for OSHA. Whatever your situation, a scrub jacket is a great way to do it. If you’ve ever tried to find a scrub jacket that doesn’t, um . . . suck, then you already know that most of the scrub jackets out there look like matronly lunch lady smocks with their old-school snaps and round-neck collars. If only they came with a hairnet . . . You needn’t look any further – our scrub jacket is not your average bear. Far from it, in fact. Sporty and on trend, our scrub jackets look ah-mazing. So good, in fact, you might even be tempted to wear one out and about. Seriously. If you’re worried that looking like you’re on way to the gym instead of ready to deliver exceptional healthcare might make you feel a little self-conscious, don’t. We took care of that. We made sure our TiScrubs logo was visible so that all the busybodies who see you wearing it at work can shut their traps. If you’re still unsure about whether your patients and peers will take you seriously in an uber-awesome scrub jacket that almost looks too good for work, there is one more thing you can do. Let us embroider your name and credentials on your jacket. Take it from us, personalized scrub jackets look very professional. Our Embroidery team is kickass and will do you right. Why The TiScrubs Scrub Jacket? So what exactly makes our scrub jackets so much better than all the others? For starters, we design our scrubs to have an athletic vibe and fit, and our scrub jackets are made with the same sporty mesh that accents our scrubs. And our signature mesh doesn’t just look great; it’s functional too. Our signature mesh provides stretch for ease of movement, which makes working with your patients way easier. Also, our mesh is breathable, and was created to help keep you at just the right temperature – whether that’s being cool when it’s hot or warm when it’s cold. Our mesh is super-soft and lightweight, so it feels incredible next to your skin and there’s no extra bulkiness to get in your way. And, our mesh is moisture-wicking and antimicrobial, which means no sweaty or stinky pits. Our iconic mesh isn’t the only thing that earned our scrub jackets their 5-star ratings. With their contrasting-color zippers and accent stitching, our scrub jackets look fun and different. They come in lots of different colors so you can coordinate them with your TiScrubs, and each one has accents in a contrasting color. For example, our Navy scrub jacket has Ceil Blue zippers and stitching, so it looks great with both Ceil Blue scrubs and Navy scrubs. For Both Men and Women Because we understand what men and women want, we offer a unique scrub jacket for both: our Men’s Scrub Jacket and our Women’s Scrub Jacket. There are subtle differences between the two. Our Men’s Scrub Jacket is bomber-style and has a masculine collar and rugged zippers. The jacket zips up, which makes it quick and easy to put on and take off. There are two zippered front pockets, which are the perfect places to rest your hands or keep your money, ID, keys, etc. The cuffs are fitted without being too tight, which gives the sleeves a masculine look for sure. The waist has a band that allows the jacket to taper in (and not look boxy) while, at the same time, not being too tight or feminine-looking. Our Women’s Scrub Jacket is unique in that it has a feminine shape but is still comfortable. Like our Men’s Scrub Jacket, it has two pockets for your hands or other things you may want to tuck inside. The collar stands on your neck just slightly and, even when the jacket is zipped, it’s not poking you under the chin while you’re trying to work. The bands at the cuffs and waist are just snug enough to keep your arms protected and give the jacket shape without being too tight or annoying. If dentistry is your jam, another important thing to note is that our long sleeve scrub jackets can help give you the extra coverage and protection that OSHA requires. Dental scrub jackets prevent gnarly bodily fluids from landing on your favorite scrubs or, worse yet, directly on your skin. Since we offer free shipping on orders of $50 or more and free returns + exchanges, you have every reason to check out our scrub jackets. We know you will love them.   Shop Our Women's Scrub Jackets // Shop Our Men's Scrub Jacket

Does Nike Make Medical Scrubs?

When Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman founded Nike back in the 1960s, Nike wasn’t even called Nike, and the idea of making clothing wasn’t even on the radar. First called Blue Ribbon Sports, the company focused solely on developing and offering the best running shoes possible to what eventually became a cult following. It wasn’t until the late 1970s that Nike began making apparel, to give their die-hard fans even more to love of a brand that captivated them. Nike’s corporate mission today is “to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world.” The company further states that everybody is an athlete, based on co-founder Bill Bowerman's statement, “If you have a body, you are an athlete.” So, the question is: Will Nike ever make scrubs? Not likely, since practicing medicine isn’t a sport (although it oftentimes feels like it could be with all the training, physical endurance required and intense hours). While millions of Americans wish that it would, selling healthcare uniforms doesn’t fall in line with Nike’s athletic apparel offering or their agenda to help athletes perform better in sports. It’s fair to say that if Nike were to make scrubs, they’d probably look and feel a lot like TiScrubs. We are The Original Athletic Scrub, and we were founded in 2012 by an innovative and technology-obsessed dentist who wanted to create scrubs that looked as cool as what professional athletes wore on the field. TiScrubs: The Original Athletic Scrub From afar, TiScrubs have been mistaken for Nike scrubs countless times – at tradeshows, in the grocery store, you name it. There are two main reasons for this: the fabric that we use and the athletic vibe that is intrinsic to every scrub top and scrub pants that we design. At the height of the jogger craze (a craze that, incredibly, seems to have become a staple in every athleisure wardrobe) we introduced our own sporty version of a scrub jogger that instantly became one of our best-selling scrub styles of all-time. Our Men’s Scrub Jogger was so popular that we soon learned that many of our customers were buying them to wear outside of work as well. Our fabric is made especially for TiScrubs, to meet our exact specifications and give it the appearance and strength that makes it so undeniably unique and special. And just like your favorite Nike running shorts, TiScrubs can be washed and dried without a care in the world, and still come out looking perfectly wrinkle-free every time. Similar to Nike’s Dri-Fit® technology, TiScrubs has its own moisture-wicking technology to help keep hard-working medical professionals dry and comfortable when the going gets tough. Athletic Scrubs Have Added Benefits  Every piece in the TiScrubs collection has signature mesh panels designed to resemble and give the benefits of the mesh that adorns most NFL and other pro sports jerseys. These mesh panels not only look sporty and athletic, but they are functional, too. So while you may have been disappointed to learn that Nike doesn’t make scrubs for doctors and nurses when you first started reading this, you can take solace in knowing that there’s something out there that’s just as good, and just as cool. And, like Nike, TiScrubs offers free shipping on orders of $95 or more and no-hassle returns and exchanges. So what are you waiting for? I think Phil Knight would say, “Just do it.”

What Color Scrubs Should I Wear?

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at it for years, you may find yourself wondering what scrub color you should be wearing. If you’re trying to figure it out, we’ve got some ideas that might make it a bit easier. Or, maybe you find yourself wondering why you have to wear the color that you do. Turns out, often times there are solid reasons behind why a particular color is chosen, and we can share some insight with you. Take a look at the following scenarios, see which one applies to you, and then let’s see if you don’t feel a little less stressed after you’re finished reading. Scenario #1: I do what I want! Your office manager is a control freak who makes Cartman from South Park look like an angel. “I do what I want”, though never uttered out loud, is his or her mantra. Sorry, but you’re out of luck. Your office manager loves the color chartreuse and, to hell with everyone else, you’re wearing it. Forever. Even if the color makes people’s eyes bleed.   Scenario #2: You are the boss, and you want to have the most kick-ass practice in town. The trend over the last decade has been for practices to move away from a “don-whatever-you-feel-like” look to a more uniform (pun intended!) look. If you are a practice owner with a penchant for perfection and want to have an office that looks as good as it runs, then you probably already know that outfitting your staff in stylish and professional-looking uniforms will complete the package. You may choose for those in your office to wear scrubs that color-coordinate with the décor – a la uniforms that match the fancy metallic leather upholstery that you selected for your patient chairs. With this approach, you don’t have to worry about your staff’s own standards of dress and personal appearance detracting from your patients’ otherwise-polished experience in your office. Perhaps you’re one of the lucky few with an award-worthy staff, so you’re okay with each individual standing out. You don’t mind a color that doesn’t quite mesh with the ambience you’ve created, as long as everybody looks neat and professional. In this instance, your staff’s personalities take center stage. If color-coordinating with your office décor or allowing everyone to wear all the colors of the rainbow feels too much to you, black scrubs are always an excellent choice. Not only does black look sophisticated and metropolitan, it also allows your cutting-edge technology and the care you deliver to shine the most brightly. Whatever your preference, just know that when choosing the colors for your office décor and your staff’s uniforms, color has a huge psychological impact on them and your patients. For example, bright, bold color schemes can raise a patient’s anxiety level, but they can also motivate and energize your staff. Here’s another tip: Having everyone in the same color (or a small selection of coordinating colors) each day can give your patients the assurance that what they are witnessing is one big, happy family – you work together as a team on all fronts, from appearance to coordinating the care that they are receiving. Scenario #3: You work for an institution that requires you to wear a certain color. Here’s another situation in which there’s not much you can do about the color of scrubs you wear. If you work at a hospital with a dress code then your choices are limited. But know that the powers that be have valid reasons for making different departments and disciplines wear unique scrub colors: color-coded scrubs can help communicate your role to the patients you treat, build trust, and greatly influence the overall mood. It might make you feel like you are back at summer camp, when you had to wear a red swim cap to indicate to the counselors in charge that you were a poor swimmer and had to be watched carefully, but don’t let it, because it’s definitely not the same thing. Color-coded scrubs don’t reflect your ability or how smart you are – they’re simply a way to let everyone know what your function is. No shame in the colors at all. The good news is that while management may be forcing you to wear a particular color, often times they don’t care which brand you wear. So, what you can’t do with color, you can certainly make up for with style. Most scrub brands nowadays, including TiScrubs, offer a wide selection of  flattering tops and pants styles for you to choose from. Scenario #4: The sky is the limit. If you work in a practice or at a hospital in which you can choose to wear any color scrubs you want, consider yourself lucky. If this is a luxury you’ve been afforded then, by all means, have some fun with it! Here are things to consider when choosing the scrub color that’s right for you. 1) Color Psychology Remember that colors can evoke different moods – for both you and your patients. Here are just a few to consider: BLUE Blue is everybody’s favorite color. Well, not exactly, but it’s definitely the most popular. About one-third of all people name blue as their favorite color. Different shades of blue can have subtly different effects. Ceil Blue can be relaxing and have a calming effect, so it is a perfect choice for a scrub color. Navy Blue can signal confidence, while Royal Blue gives off a feeling of energy, making these two shades of blue great choices too. RED Red can elevate a person’s heart rate, raise body tension, and increase anxiety, but, interestingly enough, shades like pink and burgundy, although in the same family of color as red, can actually create a soothing visual experience. GREEN Green, which gives a feeling of peace and tranquility, is found everywhere in nature. The grass and the trees are green, many of the foods we eat are green, etc. 2) In Honor of Those You Serve If you’re in the oncology field, then you are probably familiar with the different ribbon colors associated with each type of cancer. The most recognized color is pink for breast cancer awareness. If you are a gastroenterologist then you may want to wear Royal Blue, which is the color for colon cancer awareness. Burgundy is the color designated for oral cancer. 3) Colors That Look Great with Your Hair and Skin Color It seems crazy, but even the slightest variation in color shade can make or break how a particular color looks on you. It can mean the difference between looking radiant or washed out. There are lots of ways to determine what colors are right for you, but one of the easiest is to do a little test at home. Pull out several different-colored tops from your closet and drawers, and then park yourself in front of a mirror in a room that has great natural light. Next, hold up each top, one at a time, beneath your chin. Pay close attention to how your face changes as you hold up each one. If your face looks bright and radiant, it’s a good color for you. If it looks grey or washed out, then it’s not a good color for you. Make a list of all the colors that work for you, and use this list to determine which color scrubs you choose. Once you get your scrubs, do the same thing with them in order to make sure that their hue is right for you! 4) Go crazy! Patterned scrub tops are cool this time around. Really! Before you go conjuring up images of the nightmare-inducing scrub tops of yesteryear, let us explain: Now you can grab scrub tops in your favorite patterns -- just enough to add a little panache without crossing the line. Try them, you’ll like them. Now get shopping! The perfect scrubs are out there for you -- you just have to find them.
