Best FIGS Alternatives in Canada: Premium Scrubs Without the Premium Price

FIGS made scrubs fashionable — and expensive. If you love the look and feel but not the price tag (or the shipping from the US), good news: several brands deliver comparable quality for much less, and they are available right here in Canada.

What Makes FIGS Popular (and What It Costs)

FIGS built its reputation on stretchy, technical fabrics, a slim athletic cut, and modern colours. But a single FIGS set often runs $80 to $120 CAD once you factor in exchange rates and shipping. Multiply by the 4 to 5 sets most healthcare workers need, and you are looking at $500+.

The Best Alternatives, Compared

1. Med Couture — closest to the FIGS feel

Buttery-soft performance fabric, 4-way stretch, and a flattering athletic fit. The Touch and Insight lines are the go-to choice for nurses who want the premium feel at a lower price.

2. Healing Hands — lightweight and colourful

Breathable fabrics and a wide colour range. Their Purple Label line is a favourite for long shifts in warm units.

3. Cherokee — the most trusted name in Canada

The most widely worn scrub brand in Canadian hospitals. The Infinity line offers antimicrobial fabric and sporty styling, while Workwear Revolution covers tighter budgets.

4. Dickies — the durability pick

Built like workwear, priced for real budgets. The EDS Essentials and Balance lines survive industrial laundering shift after shift.
