OH THE POCKETS! from 6 to 10 pockets at no additional charge. these scrubs are by far the best deal out there. I shop the clearance and pay 16.99 fo the SET!. fabric will not fade, shrink or wear thin. elastic or tie waist. buyer MUST use sizing chart as sizes are slighly larger than US sizes (from canada) because it is from canada do not expect it to arrive in the mail for about 4 weeks. But they are well worth the wait!!!!!!!
