7-Pocket Scrub Pants www.smartscrubs.com You can choose the brand S.C.R.U.B.S. and "cargo" for style and unisex petite, average and tall options should appear. They offer a polyester/cotton blend that will wash and wear well without ironing (versus the 100% cotton option). The color that appears to be the closest to teal is Ocean Mist (the Tropics option may be a bit too blue). You can get your scrub tops and pants for clinical anywhere you like. This is just one option for the 7-pocket pants. We do not prefer or require this option.
