Make the details do the work
A better shortlist starts at the cuff.
The front opening is easy to spot. Sleeve length, pocket placement and room over your scrub top take a closer look. Our model pages separate documented specifications from details that still need checking.
A high pocket count does not tell you whether your phone fits. A cropped hem is not a petite pattern. We keep those distinctions visible so you can compare the things that matter to you.

Zip or snap?
Zippers join the front continuously; snaps fasten at separate points. Compare how each sits when you reach and sit.
Choose your closure02 / Coverage
Check the proportions.

Plan for your day.
