Velilla 579 women's scrub top: striped, button-up and the lightest in the catalogue
Women's healthcare tunic with centre button fastening, V-neck and contrast-colour facings. The manufacturer lists it as a striped tunic: the colour you choose (navy blue, grey or burgundy) is the colour of the stripe. What sets it apart from all the others in the catalogue is the fabric weight: only about 105 g/m², half that of a conventional twill tunic. It is sold on its own: trousers are not included.
✅ Features
Around 105 g/m²: by far the lightest tunic in the catalogue. In a hot kitchen, a ward with high heating or a summer shift, you notice that weight from the very first hour.
Striped fabric: the pattern hides stains and wrinkles much better than a plain colour, which is practical in cleaning and institutional catering.
Button fastening: put it on and take it off without pulling it over your head, which matters with hair tied up, make-up or an ID badge hanging from the neck.
Contrast-colour facings: the inner trim of the front is in a different colour, a finishing detail visible when the garment is open.
Darts on chest and back: semi-fitted cut with darts, not a straight tunic. It fits like a garment designed for the female body.
Two lower patch pockets.
👷 Suitable for
Professional cleaning services and institutional settings.
Care homes and home help.
Beauty centres, spas and wellness resorts.
Practices and clinics where a plain white uniform is not required.
Veterinary clinics and dog grooming.
Institutional kitchens and pantries.

🧺 Care
Wash at 60 °C. With no elastane or finishes, it withstands the industrial cycle well.
Dries very quickly thanks to its low fabric weight.
Iron at medium temperature; it hardly needs it.
Do not use chlorine bleach: it fades the stripe into irreversible patches.
Suitable for industrial laundering.
💡 Tip: At about 105 g/m² the fabric is thin, and that has a trade-off worth knowing before you buy: it is more see-through than a 190 g/m² tunic. That is why this reference is not made in plain white, but in stripes and three dark shades. If you need a white, opaque tunic, go for the 587 or the 535205.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the trousers included?
No. The 579 is the tunic only.
Is it plain or striped?
The manufacturer lists it as a striped tunic, and the colour you choose (navy blue, grey or burgundy) is the colour of the stripe. If you need a plain one, see the 587 in white or the 535201.
Why is it not available in white?
Because at about 105 g/m² the fabric is thin and would be see-through. If you need a white, opaque tunic, go for the 587 or the 535205.
Is 105 g/m² light?
It is half that of a standard twill tunic, and that is intentional: it is designed for hot environments. In return, the fabric is thinner and less opaque.
What are contrast-colour facings?
The inner trim of the front, in a different colour from the garment. It is a finishing detail visible when the tunic is open.
Does it withstand industrial washing at 90 degrees?
The manufacturer specifies 60 °C. With no elastane or finishes, it withstands the industrial cycle well, but above 60 °C the stripe loses its colour.
Can I use bleach?
No. Chlorine fades the stripe into irreversible patches.
