10月1日 blueskyscrubs.com Offers Designer Nursing Scrubs, Medical Scrubs, Hospital Uniforms
Shelby Marquardt, the creator of blue sky scrubs, LLC, was an anesthesiology resident at Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas when she introduced the scrub hats that were blue sky's first product. As
a medical student spending much of her time in the operating room, she
was dismayed at the prospect of wearing unattractive, ill-fitting scrub
hats for long hours every day. Worse, her long hair didn't fit under
the regular scrub hats, and she couldn't bring herself to don the
"bouffant," the hairnet-style hat that reigned supreme. Using
scraps of extra material, Shelby created the first (now called) Pony
hat in her living room. After cutting, sewing and altering the hat

cap with a ribbon-tied pouch that neatly ties back a short or a long
ponytail. Once she started wearing the hat to work, her co-workers
clamored for their own Pony scrub hats, and she began spending her
weekends sewing. Shelby was unable to keep up with all of the requests,
so she looked for someone to help sew the hats. Her husband, David
Marquardt, who is an entrepreneur and the President of a successful
business in Austin, saw the potential with the scrub hats and began the
process of securing Patents, creating a website, and marketing the
product.Before
selling the hats online, Shelby "abused" the hats to make sure they
would hold up and so that she could improve upon any imperfections she
found while washing, drying, stretching, bending, and
folding the hats. Once she felt that they were perfect, she let David
know and the "official" production began. In 2005, the website at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com went
live. David and the one employee that he had hired watched as the first
order came through for a $24.00 hat. A good day was selling at least
one hat. Now, only 4 years later, blue sky scrubs can barely keep their
products in stock, and fulfill roughly 100 orders per day...read more
