Scrubs · Los Angeles factory
Custom Uniform Factory makes medical scrub pants in straight, jogger and wide leg cuts for healthcare employers, uniform programs and scrub brands, cut and sewn in its own Los Angeles factory from imported fabric. Buyers choose the leg shape, waistband, pockets, fabric and branding, with a minimum of about 50 pieces per style.
16 styles in 4 families · each made to order in your fabric, color and branding from 50 pieces.
The straight leg is the easiest cut to size across a large team and still the default in most hospital programs. We make it with a drawstring, full elastic or yoga-style waistband and hem it to the inseam lengths your staff need.
Jogger scrub pants keep hems off the floor and out of spills, which is why they now anchor many brand collections. We set the cuff so it sits comfortably over socks or compression stockings and add the thigh and back pockets your spec calls for.
Wide leg scrub pants read as fashion-forward and feel cool on long shifts, but they only work when the length is right, so we grade inseams carefully. Brands often pair them with a fitted top to balance the silhouette.
Cargo pockets on the thigh give room for shears, tape and a phone when a top's pockets are full. We position and size them to the tools your team carries, and bartack the corners where loaded pockets pull hardest.
Pick the style, fabric and colors, add your logo and names, then attach the design to your quote. We cut and sew it in Los Angeles from 50 pieces per style.
Custom scrub pants come down to four decisions: the leg, the waistband, the pockets and how much room the fit gives when staff bend and kneel. Staff spend whole shifts squatting, lifting and walking in their pants, so a weak choice in any of the four shows up within the first week of wear.
A mid rise suits most wearers. Choose a drawstring, full elastic, elastic with an internal drawstring, or a wide yoga-style knit band. For unisex programs, elastic with a drawstring fits the widest range of bodies.
Cargo pockets on the thigh hold shears, notepads and phones. Side slash pockets are the minimum; back pockets and a pen or utility pocket are common additions. A secure thigh phone pocket is one of the details nursing staff ask for most.
A diamond gusset at the crotch adds room for squatting and takes stress off the center seam. Combined with a stretch fabric, it is the biggest comfort upgrade over a basic pull-on pant.
Jogger scrub pants suit fast, floor-level roles because the cuffed hem stays clean and dry; straight leg scrub pants suit the widest range of bodies and settings; wide leg scrub pants suit staff who want a cooler, relaxed fit. Many programs offer two cuts in one color so the team still matches.
| Cut | Leg shape | Hem | Pros | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight leg | Even width hip to hem | Plain hem | Classic, fits most bodies, easy to size | Hems can drag if length is wrong |
| Jogger | Tapered | Knit or elastic cuff | Hems stay clean and dry, athletic look | Cuffs must not be too tight over socks or compression stockings |
| Wide leg | Relaxed through the leg | Plain hem | Cool, comfortable, current fashion | More fabric to catch on equipment; needs correct length |
| Bootcut or flare | Slight widening below the knee | Plain hem | Sits over clogs and nursing shoes | Less common in unisex programs |
| Cargo | Any of the above | Varies | Extra thigh storage | Adds bulk and weight when pockets are full |
Tip: If your team wears compression socks, check jogger cuffs on a sample during a full shift. A cuff that feels fine at fitting can dig in by hour ten.
The waistband that works for most employer programs is elastic with an internal drawstring, because it adjusts to the widest range of bodies and stays put through a shift. Wide yoga-style knit bands suit premium women’s pants, while a drawstring alone is simple and adjustable but tends to loosen.
| Waistband | Comfort | Adjustability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drawstring only | Good | High | Budget programs, unisex fits |
| Full elastic | Very good | Medium | Quick on and off, mixed teams |
| Elastic with drawstring | Very good | High | Most employer programs |
| Wide yoga-style knit | Excellent | Medium | Ladies scrub pants and premium brand collections |
| Flat front with side elastic | Good | Medium | Polished, front-of-house looks |
Medical scrub pants take more abrasion than tops at the seat, knees and inner thigh, so fabric choice starts with durability and laundering. Poly-cotton blends survive hot and industrial wash cycles; polyester-rayon-spandex blends feel softer and stretch with movement, and are the norm in premium scrub collections.
Darker colors such as navy, black and charcoal hide wear and stains longer, which is why many employers standardize pants in a dark shade and let tops carry role colors. Stretch blends prefer moderate dryer heat, so match the fabric to how your pants will be washed. Our scrub fabric guide compares blends, weaves and fabric weights in more depth, and we confirm the fabrics available for your order at quote stage.
Each role needs a pant built around its movement and mess: emergency and surgical staff want joggers with cargo pockets and a gusset, outpatient teams want a clean straight leg, and veterinary and home health staff need dark, reinforced pants. Use this table as a starting point for a multi-role program.
| Role or setting | Cut that works well | Details to prioritize |
|---|---|---|
| ER (emergency room), ICU (intensive care unit), surgery | Jogger | Cargo pockets, gusset, stretch, hems off the floor |
| Nursing floors | Straight or jogger | Phone pocket, combination waistband, durable fabric |
| Dental and outpatient | Straight or bootcut | Clean front, tidy look, wrinkle resistance |
| Veterinary and home health | Jogger | Reinforced seams, dark colors, easy-care fabric |
| Med spa and aesthetics | Wide leg or straight | Soft stretch fabric, yoga waistband, modern silhouette |
| Students and schools | Straight, unisex | Simple sizing, one color across the program |
For animal hospitals, our veterinary apparel page covers fabrics and colors that hide fur and stains.
Scrub pants for women are usually shaped through the hip with a higher back rise and a contoured waistband, while unisex pants are cut straighter. Offering a women’s fit next to a unisex fit in the same color and fabric keeps the team matched while each wearer gets a pant that sits properly.
Women’s cuts are also where inseam choice matters most: one length for a whole team leaves petite staff stepping on hems. Collect length preferences with sizes, and check our scrub size chart for how cuts and sizes compare across the XXS to 5XL range.
A scrub pant order runs in five stages: brief, quote and sample, approval, production and reorder. New designs are sampled so fit and movement can be tested on real staff before the full run, and approved patterns stay on file so every reorder is cut the same way.
Ask us for current lead times; they depend on fabric availability and order size.
Pricing for custom pants depends mainly on the fabric, the quantity per style, how complex the pant is, any decoration and whether you add custom labels and packaging. No prices are published here, because each order is quoted on its actual fabric, features and quantity.
| Cost driver | How it moves the unit price | How to keep it in check |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Premium stretch and performance blends usually cost more than standard poly-cotton | Choose fabric for your laundering, not feel alone |
| Quantity per style | Larger runs spread cutting, setup and sampling across more pieces, so unit cost tends to fall | Standardize on fewer cuts and colors |
| Style complexity | Cargo pockets, gussets, cuffs and yoga waistbands add sewing time | Keep the features staff actually use |
| Lengths | Several inseam lengths add pattern and cutting work | Offer only the lengths your team needs |
| Decoration | A thigh logo adds a step per pair | Brand the top and keep the pant plain |
| Labels and packaging | Custom labels, hang tags and individual bagging add components | Use standard finishing for staff uniforms |
Wholesale scrub pants are plain pants sewn from consistent patterns, so uniform shops, schools and resellers can reorder and get the same fit as the stock already on their shelves. Branded pants start at about 50 pieces per style, while wholesale quantities are confirmed when you send an inquiry.
Nursing and allied health programs often specify one pant color and cut for every student; see how we supply CNA and medical assistant programs. For blank programs across several garment types, see our wholesale medical scrubs service.
Private label scrub pants drive repeat purchases for a scrub brand, because staff wear through pants faster than tops and come back for a fit they trust. Fit consistency between production runs is the most important thing a brand can protect, so approved pant patterns stay on file for every reorder.
Our private label scrubs program adds your labels and tags, and the guide on how to start a scrub brand covers the wider launch plan.
Pants last longer when the predictable failure points are reinforced: bar-tacks at pocket corners, a gusset to take stress off the crotch seam, and waistband elastic that recovers after washing. These details add little to the cost of a pair but noticeably extend its life.
That matters most where the employer pays for replacements. Knees and seat are the next weak spots; a durable fabric in a dark color hides the wear that does happen.
Pants keep their color and stretch longest when washed inside out, with drawstrings tied, away from chlorine bleach and dried on moderate heat. Pants worn in clinical areas may fall under your facility’s laundering policy, so share these points with staff or your laundry service.
Facility laundries follow CDC guidance on laundry in health-care facilities, which describes hot-water cycles of at least 160°F (71°C) for 25 minutes, far tougher than home washing. Tell us how your pants are laundered so we can suggest fabric that copes.
Ready to order
A complete scrub pant quote needs the cut, waistband, fabric, color, sizes and lengths, any branding and the quantity per style. Sending the whole list in the first message lets us price the order quickly and confirm whether a sample is needed.
The most common scrub pant ordering mistakes are ignoring inseam length, putting everyone in joggers, choosing light colors for messy roles, leaving out a phone pocket and approving fit on a single person. Each one is cheap to fix at the brief stage and expensive after a full run.
Most teams order pants with matching tops in the same fabric and color, so the set looks uniform across a shift. Pants and tops are separate styles, each with its own 50-piece minimum, and can be planned together in one brief.
Match your pants with custom scrub tops cut from the same fabric, and add a long-sleeve underscrub for cold units.
Need something not covered here? Ask our Los Angeles team and we’ll answer with options for your order.
Ask our Los Angeles teamYes. A women's fit and a unisex fit can be cut from the same fabric and color so the team still matches. Each fit is its own pattern, so we confirm at quote stage how the two fits count toward the 50-piece minimum per style. Send the split between fits with your size breakdown.
Inseam options are part of the specification we confirm at quote stage. Tell us how many petite, regular and tall pairs your team needs in your size breakdown and we will confirm what we can produce within the 50-piece minimum per style.
We can, though most programs brand only the top. A small embroidered logo on the thigh or near a side pocket works well. Avoid placements near the seat or knee, where fabric flexes and wears fastest, and check that embroidery does not stiffen stretch fabric where it needs to move.
Yes. Pants are a style of their own with their own 50-piece minimum. Some employers standardize pants in black or navy and let tops vary by role or department, which simplifies inventory. A neutral pant also works with tops your team already owns.
