Buttery-soft modal with silk-touch finish, precision-flat seams, and the close-but-easy fit that disappears under any scrub top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA smooth, friction-free feel with a focus on seamless comfort. The SilkSeam Long Sleeve Underscrub is meticulously designed for healthcare professionals who refuse to choose between feeling comfortable and staying focused. Engineered with precision-seamless construction and buttery-soft fabric, this underscrub moves with you, not against you, so you can concentrate on what matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy \"soft\" matters on a 12-hour shift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy hour eight of a hard shift, the fabric against your skin stops being a background detail and starts being the loudest thing in the room. A coarse cotton tee that felt fine in the parking lot at 6 a.m. becomes a low-grade irritation you can't unsee. A seam that you didn't notice during your morning huddle becomes the only thing you think about during your post-lunch charting block. We built the SilkSeam for the nurse who's been through this — the one who wants a soft underscrub that's still soft at hour twelve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 80% modal \/ 20% spandex blend is what makes the SilkSeam feel the way it does. Modal is a regenerated cellulose fiber finer than cotton, with a smooth surface that picks up less drag against the skin and holds a soft hand even after repeated wash cycles. The spandex content gives the fabric enough recovery to stay close to the body without going limp by the end of a shift. The result is a soft underscrub that gets softer with wear instead of breaking down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silk-touch finish is what separates the SilkSeam from a regular modal jersey. During finishing, the fabric is processed to give the surface a near-silk drape and a softer-than-soft hand-feel against the skin. The silk-touch effect isn't a coating that washes off — it comes from the fiber treatment itself, which means the silk-feel survives repeated wash cycles instead of disappearing after the first laundry day. For a 12-hour shift, that's the difference between an underscrub that feels soft on day one and an underscrub that's still soft months in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFabric composition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80% modal \/ 20% spandex silk-touch knit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFabric weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e145 GSM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrecision flat-locked seams — silk-smooth against the skin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStretch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-way stretch with recovery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpaque under standard white scrubs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoisture management\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModal pulls moisture off skin, dries faster than cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeckline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrew — sits flat against collarbone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-transfer label, no woven tag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SilkSeam runs close to the body without being a compression fit.

Pair it under any of our scrub tops or your existing scrub set. For high-movement shifts where you also want a smoother silhouette, the FlexForm Compression Long Sleeve runs closer to the body. For cold ORs, the ThermoLite Mockneck adds thermal warmth. For maximum bulk-free seamless layering, the AeroKnit removes seams entirely.

We don't run flash sales and we ship from St. George, Utah so returns and exchanges work. The price is what it costs to make a soft underscrub for shifts that's still soft many washes in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALA Underscrubs","offers":[{"title":"Burgundy \/ S","offer_id":53056946733335,"sku":"SILK–001B","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy \/ M","offer_id":53056946766103,"sku":"SILK–002B","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy \/ L","offer_id":53056946798871,"sku":"SILK–003B","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Burgundy \/ XL","offer_id":53056946831639,"sku":"SILK–004B","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/8059\/5991\/files\/Model-SilkBurgundy2.jpg?v=1779137651","url":"https:\/\/alaunderscrubs.com\/products\/silkseam-underscrub","provider":"Ala Underscrubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
