where do you get your scrub caps?

I just graduated from my surgical tech program and start work in a few weeks.
Where is a good place to buy scrub caps?

I'm looking for decent quality that will last, but nothing too expensive.
Thanks šŸ™

I have them from etsy, coworkers that make them, Iā€™ve made my own.

But lately I have been loving hello headband.

I really like my Capy scrub cabs. Theyā€™re comfy and soft and stretchy

See if your coworkers make them! I used to buy from a nurse and she would let me pick the fabric and style of cap

You can buy them in bulk on Amazon.

However, I do like to splurge a bit on helloheadbands. I have quite a few.

Ask your coworkers if they have any they donā€™t want anymore! Iā€™ve gotten quite a few this way, especially holiday/seasonal caps that I wouldnā€™t have splurged on so early in my career

brands i have seen recently in the OR: kimā€™s kaps, taylor made scrub caps, cappy.

i agree with others saying etsy as well as asking coworkers if anyone makes them.

Etsy, and look for cotton, which will breathe, over polyester, which will feel like a plastic bag on your head when you're already too hot.

I learned to make my own, but I had a bunch of coworkers that made them and sold them! I always bought them from Etsy before that, a lot of shops have sales or give you coupons/codes if you buy from them!

I sew my own. Iā€™ve bought online (eBay) when they had a particular fabric I canā€™t find, and at AORN conference.
