What Is Cherokee Workwear Originals Ultra?

Originals Ultra is part of Cherokee's Workwear family, the no-fuss side of the brand that's built for everyday clinical work rather than high-performance stretch. Every garment is 100% polyester and finished with PROTX2® odour control technology, so tops and pants share the same fabric and feel across a full set.

The range is deliberately simple: four styles, two for women and two for men, designed to pair together. That makes it a practical choice for nurses, doctors, aged care and allied health workers, vet teams, and practice managers who need a whole department looking consistent.

Women's Originals Ultra

CK953A Women's V-Neck Scrub Top

The CK953A women's V-neck scrub top is a Modern Classic fit with short sleeves and a 26" centre back length. Two roomy lower patch pockets with reverse hem trim hold your shift essentials. There's no chest pocket, which keeps the front clean for a name or logo. Finishing details include:

  • ID badge loop on the neckband
  • Side vents for ease of movement
  • Tonal topstitching

CK272A Women's Drawstring Cargo Scrub Pant

The CK272A women's drawstring cargo scrub pant sits mid rise with an elasticised waist and drawstring, so you can adjust the fit through a long shift. It has a straight leg with an 18½" opening and 31" inseam, elasticised hems, and 4 pockets: 2 front patch pockets and 2 cargo pockets.

Both women's styles come in the same 10 colours, so the top and pant always match as a set.

Men's Originals Ultra

CK783A Men's V-Neck Scrub Top

The CK783A men's V-neck scrub top is a relaxed fit with short sleeves and a 28.5" centre back length. It has 3 pockets (a chest patch pocket plus 2 lower patch pockets), an ID badge loop and shoulder yoke seams.

CK279A Men's Cargo Scrub Pant

The CK279A men's cargo scrub pant is a relaxed, true men's fit with a zip fly and a mid rise, elastic-reinforced waistband with drawstring. If you carry a lot on shift, the 6-pocket layout is the standout:

  • 2 side entry pockets
  • 2 cargo pockets with pen and instrument slots
  • 2 back patch pockets

It has a straight leg with a 19" opening and 32" inseam.

Built for Matching Teams

This is where Originals Ultra really earns its place. Eight colours are shared across all four styles, so mixed women's and men's teams can wear the same uniform colour:

Black, Caribbean Blue, Hunter Green, Navy, Olive, Pewter, Teal Blue and Wine.

The women's styles also come in Turquoise and Eggplant, and the men's styles in Royal.

Ordering for a whole team is simple too. Retail prices are flat across all sizes, so an XS and a 5XL cost the same. If you're kitting out a hospital ward, clinic, aged care facility or vet practice, see our business and group orders page.

Embroidery: Tops Only

Add logos, names or titles to the CK953A and CK783A tops with our in-house embroidery, using the Infectious customiser. Embroidery isn't available on the Originals Ultra pants.

Sizing: XXS to 5XL

Women's styles run from XXS to 5XL and men's from XS to 5XL, so the range covers petite through to plus size. Before you order, measure yourself using our scrub sizing guide for Australia.

Note that men's XS isn't made in every colour:

  • CK783A top: XS not made in Caribbean Blue, Hunter Green, Olive or Teal Blue
  • CK279A pant: XS not made in Hunter Green or Olive
