GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Anyone able to provide a source for the old-school, heavy weighted cotton scrubs? They came in a multitude of colors, as long as they were grey. If available still, I'm sure that other color options would be available. Not interested in the newer, thin fabric style. Looking for something that would actually help repel a breeze when weather turns colder in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchb0x Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 check out dickies EDS scrubs. I wear them and they are thicker than the usual and are pretty comfortable. Best part is they have a elastic waist with a drawstring AND a zipper fly, whaaaaaat!! Seriously, they are great, comfortable and great utility.

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks for the suggestion. What is the world coming to when you don't have to drop your pants in the hospital to go to the bathroom. I am a big fan of an elastic waist at this stage of my life.

problem child Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 google, anyone? https://www.google.com/search?q=100%25+cotton+scrubs&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=b-rWU5D0KpCZyATk94HQAQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1422&bih=808#imgdii=_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I appreciate the offer but the images shown do not appear to show any of the style that I was referencing. Most modern day scrubs are thin as paper. I'm looking for the old-school, heavy weight grey scrubs from a couple of decades back. These are some where you had to be there then to know what I'm asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paula Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I examined a patient today and she had on really thick scrubs. She works as a custodian and the pants were custodian-type/scrub-type. So thick she could hardly get the pants leg rolled up for me to look at the knee. Check a custodian supply company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks. The type that I'm referencing would block/absorb minor splashes as opposed to the newer styled ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpRegulated Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks. The type that I'm referencing would block/absorb minor splashes as opposed to the newer styled ones. Try soaking your scrubs in a bucket full of starch for a few hours before ironing them. They come out thick and extra crisp. They may sound like they are made out of paper when you walk, but they'll repel all sorts of body fluids, and perhaps even bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm only concerned about deflecting taser barbs. Considering the commute and area being passed through however, bullet repellant would be nice as well. :-). Maybe throw in some Kevlar for knives. Regarding the Dickie's recommendation, they must not believe in older, body habitus shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Backpack and labcoat; I'm ready to roll. Stethoscope in one pocket, Glock 27 in the other (extra magazine, of course), :-). Once inside the VA I doubt that there would be a shortage of firepower. It's getting into the VA and back home that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are some where you had to be there then to know what I'm asking about. I think you have to look through them more closely. there are several that are the heavy cotton you seek. or just do a google search yourself!
