About F. R. Apparel Company - frankyray

For the past 13 years I have noticed the lack of interest in design & marketing of men's medical apparel. Women's apparel gets all the attention. I first posed the question addressing the obvious difference, I was told "No money in the men's line". In 04 and previous years, men in the nursing industry amounted to less than 6% of the total market. Today, men working in the medical industry is approaching 20%. The numbers keep rising annually. Even with the percentage increase of men in this industry, the status quo still exists. Most scrub companies manufacture their men's line as an afterthought, rather than a viable standalone market. Men's scrub pants are the most neglected in medical apparel. All companies offer a men's line. Pants are nothing more than an over sized women's pant. When a man purchases a medical apparel pant, his size choices are limited, he can choose small up to XL (some lines size to 5X). Men's dress slacks & jeans have a waist size and inseam, providing true fit and comfort. I wanted to include design aspects that men truly appreciate in a pant. These design aspects are basic features on men's pants. A zipper, button, belt loops, and small elastic tabs on the waist provide greater comfort to the pants. Classic jean front pockets add additional benefit. No other manufacturer of scrubs includes all these design aspects in their pants. Only one current manufacturer provides a zipper. This design features a zipper with a full elastic drawstring waist with side slit pockets. These pockets will flair out from the hips during normal movement. This will lead to pocket rips and tears.I created frankyray.com true men's sizing. Actual waist, inseam sizing will be a requirement at frankyray.com. We have a functional zipper, button at the top of the pant, belt loops & classic jean front pockets are incorporated into all of the designs. frankyray.com, is the first and only brand to introduce true men's sizing to the medical apparel industry.
