The scrubs are FIGS Chisec in black, $42 for the top. The watch is a Seiko 5 Sports SRPG35 at $315 — and it is sold out almost everywhere, including Seiko's own store. The trousers are Carhartt Rugged Flex ripstop cargos at $64.99, not scrub bottoms, which is a detail real ER staff noticed immediately.
One thing to be straight about before the list: almost none of this was confirmed by the costume department. Only the hoodie traces back to costume designer Lyn Paolo. Everything else was identified by people freeze-framing the show. We have marked which is which, because a lot of pages present all of it as official.
The list, with what it costs
| Item | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|
| FIGS Men's Chisec Three-Pocket Scrub Top, Black | $42 | In stock, XS–6XL |
| Carhartt 105461 Rugged Flex Ripstop Cargo, Dark Coffee | $64.99 | In stock, ~$50 at dealers |
| Seiko 5 Sports SRPG35 | $315 MSRP | Sold out — Seiko US, Long Island Watch, TimeScape |
| MOSCOT BILLIK SUN, Cinnamon / Calibar Green 47mm | $370 | Current |
| Tom Bihn Synapse 25 | $265 | In stock, eight colourways |
| New Balance 990v5 | ~$185 | Still available |
Three corrections to what is circulating elsewhere. The Seiko is $315, not $275. The Tom Bihn colour everyone cites — "ursa" — no longer exists in the current range. And the 990v5 is not discontinued, despite being widely reported as such.
The scrubs — the thing most people are here for
FIGS Chisec, black, $42 for the top. The nurses on the show wear the same style in Graphite, also $42.
A caveat we have to make: FIGS has never confirmed the placement. We read their own investor press release about dressing the show's lead for the Emmys, and it only describes him as the "star of medical drama The Pitt." No on-screen claim. The identification comes from viewers matching the cut and pocket configuration.
You will also see colour-coding charts going around — blue for medical assistants, purple for specialists, and so on. That grid comes from a scrubs retailer's marketing blog, not from the show. We are not repeating it as fact.
What the costume designer has said, to Variety, is that the character is "downtrodden and worn out" and his hoodie is deliberately "trashed." Her sharpest line, from an IndieWire interview, is about the department's discipline rather than the brands: "Nothing they wear belongs to them, including their underwear. That has to be tracked."
He is not wearing scrub bottoms
This is the detail that healthcare workers spotted first. Robby wears cargo trousers, not matching scrub pants — and there is a name for that combination on real ER floors. He only appears in a full matching two-piece in the 2020 flashbacks, which is a costume decision doing quiet character work.
The watch, and the argument it started
The Seiko 5 Sports SRPG35 is a 39mm automatic field watch, 100m water resistant, MSRP $315. It is sold out at Seiko's own US store and at the major dealers. The sibling SRPG37 is gone too.
The interesting part is not the watch. It is that a thread on the nursing subreddit — started by someone watching the show — turned into a proper argument about whether an ER doctor should be wearing a wristwatch at all.
The short version: UK and Irish hospitals enforce "bare below the elbows," which means no wristwatch on the ward; staff there use fob watches pinned to the chest. US hospitals generally do not, and American nurses are actively trained to wear a watch with a second hand for counting respirations. SHEA's guidance makes bare-below-the-elbows optional in US non-operating-room settings.
So the watch is realistic — in America. If you work in the NHS, the accurate version of this look is a fob watch, and buying the Seiko for work would get you told off.
Another small accuracy note that viewers picked up: his badge clips to the patch pocket of the scrub top. No badge reel.
The bag, and why it is the best-value item here
Tom Bihn Synapse 25, $265, 25 litres, made in Seattle, with a lifetime guarantee.
For an audience that includes a lot of actual healthcare workers doing twelve-hour shifts, that guarantee is the whole argument. This is not a fashion purchase. It is the one item on this list where the on-screen version is genuinely the right answer for the job — and if it fails in ten years, the company repairs or replaces it.
The colour on screen, "ursa," has been retired. Eight colourways are current.
Shoes: what the show got right
New Balance 990v5 — and notably nobody in the healthcare-worker discussion objected to them. The objections were aimed at other characters — Blundstones on one, trail runners on another, both wrong for a twelve-hour shift on hard floors for different reasons.
Availability update, 9 August 2026: New Balance's own product page for the 990v5 now returns a 404. The 990 line continues and is easy to find, but the specific version worn on screen has been superseded, so we have removed the price we previously quoted rather than leave a figure standing for something you can no longer order from the brand. If you want the shoe itself, the v5 turns up through retailers and the second-hand market; if you want the right shoe, any current 990 does the same job.
The detail that shows the costume team did their homework: the charge nurse — the character who walks the most — was put in HOKA Cliftons. That is a real ER footwear choice, not a styling one.
Season 2 is a different wardrobe
If you are looking for the hoodie from the newer episodes, it changed. Season 2 moved to a Taylor Stitch Workhorse Hoodie, which is now archived and no longer sold (it was $248), and a de-badged Patagonia Better Sweater in a green colourway.
We could not verify the Patagonia price directly — their site blocks automated checks — so treat that one as identified-by-viewers rather than confirmed.
The stethoscopes, and a caveat
Viewers have catalogued the stethoscopes across the whole cast, and the pattern is more interesting than any single model: attendings and senior residents on Littmann Cardiology IVs, juniors on Classic IIIs, and every nursing character on the identical grey Classic III — which mirrors the grey scrubs the nurses wear.
If that is deliberate, it is a nice piece of visual hierarchy. We could not verify the specific models, only that both Littmann lines exist. Treat the seniority gradient as the insight and the exact SKUs as unconfirmed.
Badge reels, trauma shears and pens: nobody has identified them. We looked. We are not going to invent answers.
Cheaper alternatives
- Watch: Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar, $209 — solar so you never wind it, 100m water resistance, same field-watch shape. Given the Seiko is unobtainable, this is the practical answer rather than a compromise.
- Backpack: Osprey Daylite Plus 20L, around $80. Less durable, a third of the price.
- Sunglasses: Warby Parker frames from around $95, against Moscot's $370.
- Scrubs: the Chisec at $42 already is the affordable answer. The "FIGS dupe" listicles are affiliate content and we would ignore them.
