I'm sure this ranks as one of the most mundane questions asked on this forum, but where do you guys get your lab coats from, and what sort do you wear? I used to think they were all of the "jacket" design, but I've seen some recently with high necks and which almost wrap around a little. Any info?
We get ours from our department/supplies. Our department is completely Howie lab coats (those are the ones that go up to the neck.)
I also bought a classic style lab coat from my previous Uni, which is covered in writing (alot not suitable for the lab) from pub crawls!
You can get them from Famous Army Stores (oddly), or from industrial clothing outlets (which mainly stock catering clothes but also stock lab coats). Sometimes the uni will sell you them too.
I think for girls (of which I know you're not, just in general ) the industrial outlets are best cos they seem to have more variation in size. Universities seem to stock only one size (elephant).
Hehe, well, I'm sure your studentship would have been cool and I bet you'll get someone Ann. You'll have to let me know what and where it is, just so I can keep tabs. Am very pleased with mine however - I got a gut feeling in the lab that I never have elsewhere. In a good way, of course!
