Commonly Asked Questions About Lab Coats

How do I choose the right lab coat size when shopping online?

Finding the perfect fit for your women’s or men’s lab coat is easier than you might think. Start by taking your measurements with a flexible tape measure, including your chest, waist, hips, and sleeve length. Compare these measurements to the size chart provided by the brand. Remember, if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit for layering, consider sizing up for comfort.

Can lab coats be personalized or embroidered?

Absolutely! Many professionals choose to personalize their professional lab coats with embroidery to add a touch of personal flair or to denote their name and title. Check with the retailer or manufacturer to see if they offer customization services before making your purchase to ensure your lab or doctor coat stands out in the crowd.

What are the differences between men's and women's lab coats?

While unisex lab coats are designed to fit a wide range of body types, lab coats for women and men often feature specific tailoring to accommodate different body shapes. Women's lab coats may have more defined waistlines, princess seaming, and options for maternity wear, whereas men's lab coats might offer a broader shoulder cut and a straighter silhouette. Choosing a gender-specific lab coat can provide a more flattering and comfortable fit.
