So doing something here I've never done before but it seemed like a nice opportunity. For those not interested in scrubs, I apologize.
Since I had surgery in December I've had a hard time finding pants that fit me. I still have larger thighs but a flatter stomach and so it hasn't been easy. A month or so ago I received an offer from Uniformed Scrubs to try out and review a pair of their Dickies Scrub pants. Since I've bought a bunch of new pants lately that have fit only so so at best I jumped at the chance to try a different brand at no cost to me.
I was given a size chart to determine what size I needed to order which according to my measurements would be a size XL. This seemed a little strange to me as I was buying size large in all the other styles and brands I had bought but I went ahead and requested the XL pants. The shipping of the pants was quick and they arrived within a couple of days. I was disappointed to find that the size was way off. The XL was much too big on me. After another couple of e-mails I returned those pants (I forgot to include the packing slip) and requested a size large instead. The return took a little longer but I'm guessing that was my fault since I had forgotten the packing slip in sending the pair back. I'm sure someone wondered why they were getting a pair of pants sent back with no notes etc. However once the new pair shipped they again arrived to my mail box fairly quickly. The size large did seem to fit better although I could have possibly even went down to a size Medium as they do run big. The Dickies pants themselves are well made, the fabric is nice and soft and they seem to be pretty durable. They wash up nicely too which is a plus. I detest ironing stuff and I like stuff I can pull out of the dryer and just hang up which these fit that very well.
As for how they fit my body, not as well although that's not unusual lately. I tend to have a hard time lately with draw string waist pants (they all want to fall off or at least pretty far down and show off my back side and underwear) and these were a draw string waist pants. In the past I never had an issue with draw string waists since I had a roll of fat/skin to stop them from falling but they just don't work as well for me lately unless I get them fairly snug fitting so they can't fall. These were a little looser as I don't love stuff that fits to tight and they did fall quite a bit. Again I think this is largely related to my body shape and not the pants.
Overall I was pleased with Uniformed Scrubs and the pants were a good quality pant that would hold up to heavy use. To anyone else who is interested in ordering from them they've given me a coupon code I could offer to readers if they'd like to order. So if you'd like to order some new scrubs at a bit of a discount just use the code 15pbrm.
Disclosure: Uniformed Scrubs sent me a product for the purpose of reviewing it and I'm not being compensated in any other way for this. All opinions within this post are mine.
