Rea Hinson, Jr., founder & fabric developer created a secret process to make polyester fabric feel like cotton and wear like iron while color fast. Home laundered poly cotton scrubs cannot be bleached without fading. They return to the hospital germ laden. Ours return sanitized when bleached and last five to ten times longer and look good too. The extremely long life cuts cost This fabric does not lint. Our other products have equal longevity.
