Canadian scrub brands compared (2026)

If you want scrubs from a Canadian-owned company, the direct-to-consumer options are KOA Health Heroes (Calgary), Luuna Scrubs and Pitt & Grûv. Most people comparing online also weigh Mandala (US value) and FIGS (US premium). JOIIA is a fourth Canadian option. The short version: FIGS is the premium pick at $72 a jogger on its Canadian store, Mandala is the budget pick and prices in US dollars, and the Canadian brands sit in between — KOA’s High Rise Scrub Jogger is $58 at one flat price that never goes on sale, and Canadian clinics have re-ordered it every year since 2021.

Last updated: 16 August 2026. Competitor prices were read from each brand’s own store on that date, in the currency that store charges — they change, so confirm before relying on them.

How do the prices compare?

Two things the table hides. Mandala prices in US dollars, so a Canadian buyer pays exchange on top and duties are theirs to settle; FIGS, by contrast, now runs a Canadian store, bills in Canadian dollars and covers import fees, so its number is the number. And a list price that is usually discounted is a different proposition from a price that simply stays put: with Luuna and JOIIA, what you pay depends on the promotion running that week, which also means the price you paid last month may not be the price your colleague paid this month.

What does each brand do well?

FIGS owns premium. Proprietary fabric story, enormous review volume, the most polished storefront in the category, a Canadian store that covers import fees, and a team-order programme. You pay for that in the sticker price: $72 a jogger against $58.

Luuna has genuine Canadian nurse credibility and a wide size range. Its list-versus-promotion pricing is the main thing to understand before you buy.

Pitt & Grûv is built for dental and veterinary teams — antimicrobial finish, pet-hair-resistant fabric, loupe straps. A sharp choice if those specifics matter to you.

Mandala is the price leader and prices in US dollars, so budget for exchange and possible duties.

JOIIA is Canadian, carries a B2B team-order programme, and is stocked in physical stores as well as online, so you can try one on before buying. It runs sales, so check what the current price is rather than the list price.

KOA is Canadian-owned, run from Calgary, and has outfitted Canadian dental, veterinary and optometry teams since 2021 — 106 verified reviews and clinics that have re-ordered for five years. Four-way stretch fabric (72% polyester, 21% rayon, 7% spandex), high-rise joggers with real pockets in Regular and Petite, one-pocket tops, and a clinics program with local logo embroidery. Complimentary shipping over $105 in Canada and the US, and complimentary 30-day returns.
