This update explains how Cherokee and similar brands now design scrubs for clinical needs - focusing on fit, pockets, performance fabrics, and inclusive sizing. It covers shopping tips (secure sites, store locators), care guidance for preserving finishes, and common product categories like scrub sets, lab coats, and warm-ups. A historical note: Cherokee moved from general apparel into healthcare lines and has offered pediatric-themed tops in the past .
Why specialty scrub makers matter
Over the past two decades, many apparel manufacturers have shifted from general fashion lines to purpose-built medical workwear. The result: scrubs and nursing uniforms designed for long shifts, repeated laundering, and clinical tasks. Brands like Cherokee expanded from mainstream apparel into healthcare clothing to meet those needs.What Cherokee offers today
Cherokee sells a wide range of medical apparel: scrub tops and pants, lab coats, warm-up jackets, and specialty pieces such as skirt scrubs. Current product priorities across the industry - and reflected in Cherokee's lines - include breathability, stretch for mobility, stain and wrinkle resistance, and thoughtful pocket placement for tools.Many modern scrubs also use fabric blends with moisture-wicking or easy-care finishes, and manufacturers increasingly offer gender-neutral cuts and extended sizing. Pediatric prints and character-themed tops remain an option for clinicians working with children; Cherokee produced cartoon-themed prints in the past .

Shopping and security
You can buy Cherokee scrubs online or at retail locations. Most official retailers use secure encryption (TLS/SSL) and follow payment-security standards such as PCI-DSS to protect card details. When shopping online, check the brand's store locator to confirm authorized dealers and consult sizing charts carefully; fit varies by cut and fabric.Care, durability, and sustainability
Follow the manufacturer's care label to preserve finish and color. Many modern scrubs are designed to withstand frequent hot-water washes and commercial laundering, but finishes like stain- or antimicrobial treatments can fade over many cycles. Sustainable and recycled-fiber options are increasingly common across workwear lines; check product details if that is important to you.Common product categories
- Medical scrubs (tops and pants)
- Scrub jackets and warm-ups
- Lab coats and clinical tunics
- Skirt scrubs and rounded styles for alternative preferences
- Specialty pediatric prints and accessory pieces
Bottom line
Cherokee remains one of several brands offering purpose-built medical apparel. If you need scrubs, prioritize fit, pocket placement, and fabric performance over marketing claims.
