Why men's scrubs fit differently
Plenty of so-called unisex scrubs are a women's pattern sized up, so on a male frame the top pulls across the shoulders and rides up when you reach. Scrubs for men are drafted with broader shoulders, a longer body and a straighter line to the hem, and the pants have a longer rise and less shaping through the hip, so the waistband stays put when you squat or lift.

Men's scrubs fit guide
Tall men's scrub pants and leg lengths
Most men's scrub pants come in a regular inseam; the Dickies Balance DK220, for example, has a 31½-inch regular leg. Selected styles add a tall length so the hem reaches your shoe, marked with a T at the end of the style code (81006T, DK224T).
Big and tall scrubs up to 5XL
Men's sizes run mostly from XS to 5XL, so men's scrubs in 5XL are available across most core ranges. Shop big and tall scrubs to see every extended-size style in one place, then check the size chart on each product, as each brand cuts a little differently.
Zip fly scrub pants, drawstring or elastic
Zip fly scrub pants look more like work trousers and suit a clinic or a tucked-in top. Drawstring waists are easy to fine-tune, and elastic or part-elastic waists are the fastest to pull on between shifts.
Men's cargo scrub pants, joggers or straight leg
Men's cargo scrub pants carry the most: scissors, tape, a phone and a notepad. Men's jogger scrubs have a cuffed ankle that stays clear of wheels and spills, while a straight leg gives the cleanest line. Our scrub pants guide compares every leg style in detail.
Men's scrubs by colour
Navy, black, royal, pewter, ceil blue and hunter green are the colours men buy most from us; use the colour filter above to narrow the grid. Many health services use colour to signal role, but codes differ between states, districts and private hospitals, so confirm your health service's uniform policy first. Our guide to scrub colours explained covers how role colour codes work.

Men's scrubs FAQ
What's the difference between men's and unisex scrubs?
Men's scrubs are drafted on a male pattern, with broader shoulders, a longer body and a straighter seat in the pants. Many unisex scrubs are closer to a scaled-up women's block, so they can pull across the shoulders and ride up when you reach.
Do you sell tall men's scrub pants?
Yes, in selected styles. Tall men's scrub pants add extra inseam length so the hem sits on your shoe rather than your ankle. Look for a T at the end of the style code, such as 81006T or DK224T. Not every colour comes in tall, so check the size dropdown on each product before you order.
What are the best scrubs for male nurses?
It depends on your shift. For lots of movement, Cherokee Infinity (95% polyester, 5% spandex, 4-way stretch) and Wink W123 are popular choices. For frequent hot washing and team colour matching, Dickies EDS Signature in 55% cotton and 45% polyester is a reliable workhorse.
Should I choose zip fly or drawstring scrub pants?
Zip fly scrub pants look and sit more like work trousers, which suits a tucked top or a clinic setting. Drawstring and elastic waists adjust easily as the shift goes on and are quicker to pull on in a change room. If you are between waist sizes, a drawstring or elastic waist gives you more room to adjust.
What colour scrubs do male nurses wear in Australia?
It depends on your employer. Many Australian health services assign scrub colours by role, and the rules differ between states, local health districts and private hospitals. Navy, black, royal, pewter, ceil blue and hunter green are the colours men buy most from us. Always confirm your health service's uniform policy before you order.
Can I get my name embroidered on my scrubs?
Yes. We embroider names, titles and practice logos in-house at our Sunshine Coast warehouse, on most scrub tops and jackets. Add embroidery on the product page or through our customise your scrubs page. We keep logos on file, so reorders match your earlier garments. Call 1300 661 475 to check current turnaround.
