| What
is the difference in scrubs anyway? There are actually
quite a few different styles on the market but we will
address the main points between reversible and non reversible
(We do carry both) |
- Reversible
vs Non Reversible: The main difference
in Reversible and Non Reversible is the stitching.
Reversible Scrubs are what we call double stitched.
|
- The Double
Stitched seam is a little more costly to manufacturer
but the it is actually a better and stronger
stitch. In most cases, the material would
rip before the seam. The material
is actually overlapped and then has two stich
lines down the overlap.
|
- The Non-Reversible
seam is what we called single stitched.
It cost less to make but it is not as durable
as the double stitch. Many scrubs are
made with single stitching and they usually
wear fine, but bending over with pants to tight
will reveal your whity tighties!

- Another
point of difference in quality would be the
drawstring. Some companies skimp on the
drawstring and provide a Round Rope type drawstring.
This will usually result in your waist band
rolling up and it just is not comfortable.
Flat drawstrings are much more durable and will
not roll up on you.

- A frequent
question that we also receive the difference
between Kimono sleeves and sewn on sleeves.
This is really not a quality issue, but simply
a design preference. The Kimono sleeves
can sometimes be more revealing that some people
like. The sewn on sleeves are longer and
therefore more modest. However, there are some
scrub tops that have long Kimono sleeves and
are equivelent to the Inset sleeve from a modesty
standpoint (i.e. Landau 7502 top)
