Dickies Everyday Scrubs Men's Lab Coat

Actual size.

This is very good. For the office, or if you work in the healthcare or even if you are a student, you must buy it.

I bought this because my white coat was falling apart at the seams. I was a bit hesitant to buy this because of the brand (what could they possibly know about the utility of a medical student's white coat??). It is actually pretty great. It does suffer from the same problem as all other white coats, though. For starters, it's not fitted very well, and will look like a baggy coat on you, but whatever. My main concern is the cloth in the front part of the white coat. This is going to be hard to explain, but I'll try my best. You know the part of the blazer/white coat where you button the two sides together? On the inside of the white coat, there are these flaps of cloth that are not attached to the rest of the white coat very well. So when you go around unbuttoned, those flaps are free to stick out and look unprofessional. I personally have modified the white coat a bit, sewing the chest and sleeves of the white coat up to make it look more slim and fitted. I also took off that atrocious Dickies tag on the pocket. Oh, the pockets. They are awesome, big enough for 7inch tablets (sorry 10" tablet users, I can't give you feedback on that). It also has one pocket on the side, in the same location as the breast pocket (just like blazers). This white coat is pretty much good to go out of the box, you will need to iron it of course (and maybe get your name on it). I am a male at 5' 10" 175 lbs, and the medium size white coat worked for me. I would recommend this to anyone in need for a white coat (a medical student white coat, that is).

Bueno

I bought some of these a few weeks ago and so far I like them. They're not too heavy so they don't get too hot or uncomfortable, and if you don't always dry clean your uniforms you can easily wash and iron these at home yourself. But mine I had to have mine altered at the dry cleaning place because the sleeves were a little too long. Otherwise, the fit was alright.I also had to have them line the front with that fabric binder tape thing to keep the front of the jacket from flapping around. I'm not sure why they make all the scrub jackets like that because it doesn't look very professional. After it was altered, starched, and pressed it looks good.

I wish I had found my Dickies Everyday Scrubs Men's Lab Coat, White, Medium sooner! The coat lathers my skin in warmth and all of my problems disappear, even if only for a brief second. I walked down the street the other day wearing my beautiful new lab coat and a passerby, assuming I was a chemist, asked me about a problem he had in his organic chemistry field. Out of nowhere, I knew the answer! Of course it was a triple-bond between BOTH the oxygen atoms AND carbonite ions! I have never taken a chemistry class in my life, but somehow I knew the answer. He offered me a job on the spot in his lab. My new position pays me $120,000 a year!! I made about a quarter of that amount annually as a garbage collector before buying my Dickies Everyday Scrubs Men's Lab Coat! Even better, he put me as a member of the research team working on the article, which was published just two weeks ago. Apparently the topic was pretty important because the University of Michigan offered me an honorary PhD due to my incredible contribution to the field of chemistry. In my special commencement, the President of the university offered these words: "There is no way to improve upon that. But what we can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our destiny." I don't even know what that means, but none of this would have ever happened if not for my Dickies Everyday Scrubs Men's Lab Coat.

Good

Update: Button came off in the washer first time washing. Easy fix. The stitching around the button holes is fraying and coming loose. It's a cheap lab coat but then again it was only $20. I'd recommend buying from the Spectrum website if you're looking for good quality.I almost sized up after reading some of the reviews. They must be swimming in them. I'm 5'11 182 smaller frame and size medium fits great. I wear a 42R suit coat with 34" shirt sleeves. My company supplies us with two Spectrum brand coats but they're full length and I wanted a shorter one. The Spectrum coat is nicer but more expensive too. While they're both 65% cotton/35% polyester, the Spectrum is much softer and smoother to the touch. Must be a different weave of cotton or something. They're both see through but the Dickie brand more so. All in all can't complain about anything for $20 and I like the shorter length better.
