The Cherokee WW Originals Ultra CK280A is a unisex straight leg scrub pant built around the things that matter most to healthcare and clinical professionals: a dependable fit, practical pockets, and fabric that holds up through a full shift and keeps performing wash after wash. As part of Cherokee's WW Originals Ultra collection, it represents an updated take on the classic scrub pant - familiar and functional in silhouette, but upgraded under the surface with materials and technology that address real on-the-job demands.
The pant is cut in a modern classic fit with a mid rise and straight leg, a combination that works across a wide range of body types and sizing needs. An elasticized waistband with an adjustable drawstring lets wearers fine-tune the fit across the waist without relying on a rigid waistband that gaps or binds during long stretches of standing, walking, and bending. Three inseam options - Short at 28.5 inches, Regular at 31 inches, and Tall at 34 inches - give healthcare workers a proper fit along the leg regardless of height, and the 19.5-inch leg opening sits in a versatile range that works with compression socks, clogs, and most standard clinical footwear. Three pocket spaces - two cargo pockets and a back patch pocket - provide real storage for the tools, devices, and essentials that move with a professional throughout a shift. Decorative topstitching and a dyed-to-match Cherokee logo label at the right cargo pocket give the pant a finished, polished look.
The fabric is 100% polyester twill with two-way stretch, balancing structure and mobility for the full range of movement a healthcare environment demands. It is moisture wicking to manage heat and perspiration through extended wear, and treated with PROTX2 antimicrobial technology, which actively fights odors, helps prevent sweat stains and musky buildup, and inhibits the growth of the microorganisms responsible for odor and fabric degradation over time. The result is a scrub pant that performs and looks the part on day one and continues to do so well into the life of the garment.

Q&A
Q: What is PROTX2 antimicrobial technology?
PROTX2 is a fabric treatment engineered specifically for healthcare workwear. It actively fights odor-causing bacteria, helps prevent the sweat stains and musky buildup that accumulate during long shifts, and inhibits the growth of the microorganisms responsible for odor and fabric damage over time. For professionals who wear their scrubs across consecutive shifts or in high-demand clinical environments, PROTX2 provides an added layer of confidence that a standard scrub pant does not offer.
Q: How do I choose between the Short, Regular, and Tall inseams?
The Short inseam measures 28.5 inches, the Regular measures 31 inches, and the Tall measures 34 inches. For reference, most petite or shorter individuals find Short to be the most comfortable length, while taller individuals benefit from the Tall option to avoid the pant sitting above the ankle. If you typically order a petite or short in scrubs, Short is likely the right choice. Regular is the standard default for most wearers of average height.
Q: Is this pant designed for men and women?
Yes. The CK280A is a unisex design built to fit comfortably across genders, sizes, and body types. The elasticized drawstring waistband and mid rise cut are designed to work across the full XXS through 5XL size range, making it a practical choice for any healthcare team looking for a consistent scrub pant across a diverse staff.
Q: How does the fabric hold up through repeated washing?
The 100% polyester twill construction is engineered for the repeated industrial washing that healthcare workwear requires. Polyester twill retains its shape and color through high-frequency laundering better than natural fiber blends, and the PROTX2 treatment is designed to maintain its effectiveness over time. Following the care instructions on the label will help preserve both the fabric and the antimicrobial treatment.
