A walk down any hospital corridor at the beginning of the shift will provide ample evidence of the popularity of blue and green. Closer inspection will reveal a small group of people in black who always seem to be the most put together at 3 A.M.
Black scrubs conceal minor messes and splashes that inevitably occur over the course of a shift, make a sharp and stylish statement, and can be worn anywhere from the hospital surgical unit to the local mall. For men working as doctors, residents, physiotherapists, or hospital staff, a set of black scrubbers is an essential piece of clothing.
Here’s what to look for, and why the Men’s Black Everyday V-Neck Scrubs from MedTogs are worth a look.
A uniform you are going to wear for ten or twelve hours must have certain properties, and the MedTogs Everyday set is made of a 65% polyester and 35% viscose blend, which is a good combination for this particular scenario.
First off, polyester makes the fabric more resilient, which is necessary if someone intends to wear the same garment for more than a couple of hours. Secondly, the addition of viscose makes it softer against the skin while adding breathability. These properties remove the sensation of tightness and unnecessary pressure while providing a lighter alternative that does not wrinkle when sitting.
Three things matter most with black fabric in particular:
It shouldn’t pill. Black shows fuzz and bobbling far more than lighter colours. These scrubs are made to be pilling-proof, so they keep their finish.
The colour shouldn’t fade. Frequent washing turns cheap black into a tired grey. Colourfast fabric keeps the shade deep and even.
It shouldn’t need ironing. The fabric is wrinkle-free, so a quick steam is plenty before morning rounds.
The classic V-neck is a staple for a reason. It's easy to pull on, keeps the neckline open and cool, and fits comfortably under your stethoscope or lab coat.
The fit is a tailored men's fit, and it gives you the comfort of reaching, bending, and leaning over a patient without feeling boxy or constricting. The waist is an adjustable drawstring in a contrasting finish, which allows you to customize your fit based on where you're working (how far you bend over) or how long you've been working (muscles relax as the day goes on)
Select from a wide range of sizes, from Small to 3XL for both the top and pant. A size chart is provided on the product page.
So, please, take a moment to measure yourself and your employees against the size chart.
Ask any hospital worker what they carry, and the answer is sure to include at least a few items. Pens, of course, plus a penlight, scissors, tape, a notepad, your phone, and your ID badge, maybe. Whatever the answer, these scrubs will accommodate, with several large, deep pockets, as well as a smaller one on the shoulder for easily accessed items like pens or cards that you would not want to lose.
It's a minor thing, but you'll appreciate it the first time you realize you don't have to put down your phone to get your ID badge.
One of the most convenient options is the embroidery detail. It is possible to personalize the scrubs by adding a name on the top or bottom, a logo of the clinic or hospital, or a special sign from a wide range of symbols, including ortho, dental, ENT, heart, kidneys, and many others. Also, a scrub cap, which could be a perfect match for the scrubs, is an additional feature.
It is worth mentioning that such personalization could be helpful in case if someone takes your clothes by mistake because named scrubs are more personalized than standard ones. At the same time, patients and coworkers will recognize you easily. Remember that it takes a longer time to process personal orders, and returns or exchanges are not available, so make sure your personal data is correct.
The black Everyday set suits a wide range of people:
Doctors and residents who want a sleek look for ward rounds and OPD
Physiotherapists who need freedom of movement through the day
Hospital and clinic staff who want a clean, consistent look
Teams ordering in bulk, since MedTogs also offers bulk orders for hospitals and clinics
If black isn’t your colour, the same style comes in burgundy, navy blue, sky blue, teal blue, surgical green, lilac, and coral, so you can match whatever your workplace prefers. You can browse the full men’s Everyday scrubs range to compare.
Even good fabric lasts longer when you look after it:
Wash black scrubs inside out to protect the colour.
Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh bleach.
Don’t overload the machine, since friction causes wear.
Hang them to dry when you can, or use low heat.
Steam instead of ironing at high heat.
Owning two or three sets and rotating them also helps each one last longer.
The right scrubs won’t make a hard shift easy, but the wrong ones will make it harder. A breathable, wrinkle-free blend, a cut that moves with you, and pockets in the right places cover most of what matters, and black keeps it all looking neat from the first patient to the last.
