Check My Pockets Before You Do Laundry: Nurse Tee

Every scrub pocket comes home holding alcohol wipes, saline flushes, tape, a tourniquet, four pens and at least one pen belonging to somebody else. A good share of it goes through the wash, and then the wash has to be done again.

Said to anyone who has never worn scrubs, the sentence sounds secretive. They assume cash, contraband or a note, and they are confident about it, which is a much more interesting laundry than the real one.

Set as LAUNDRY INSTRUCTIONS with TAPE, FLUSHES, FOUR PENS beneath, five words over three lines, like a note left on the counter. This is aimed squarely at whoever actually does the laundry, and that is who buys it.

What it is

• Double stitched neckline and sleeves, side seamed, tear away label
• Sizes S through 3XL
• Fourteen colors. Seven light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream

Where it comes from

Custom printed in the USA. Every shirt is printed here, one at a time, on a soft cotton blank woven overseas.

Nothing is printed until you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets thrown away.

Getting it to you

Free US shipping on orders $45 and up. Under that it is a flat $8.00. We make it after you order it, which takes 2 to 5 business days, and it then takes 3 to 4 business days to reach you from a US facility. Most orders arrive in 5 to 9 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the label is created.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print.

The Natural colorway

Natural has small dark speckles through the fabric. That is the undyed cotton showing, and it is expected rather than a fault.
