Nobodycirclesthewagons Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 On the form for our white coats, it says the coats "run large". How large is large? I usually like to buy "bigger" clothes, but I don't want to make an ass out of himself with such a huge coat, haha. I'm about 6'1'', 185-190 lbs, btw. Maybe a medium build? Thanks.

Guest morequestions Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 5'8" here and medium build. Medium should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newton13 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Is there any way of trying one on ahead of time? Do they fit the same as the lab coats you would buy at the bookstore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_horrible Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I am also having a size problem that maybe some female UWO meds can clear up. I'm debating between XS and S. I would like to avoid swimming in my lab coat, but I also don't want awkwardly short sleeves. I'm 5'6" and 120 lbs. Sigh, my life is full of such difficult decisions.

ponaem Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 anyone know how many people you can bring to the ceremony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 anyone know how many people you can bring to the ceremony? I'm pretty sure yuo can get 3 if you e-mail them and let them know, although that being sad there was still a fair amount of space in the auditorium last year if you wanted to bring more....you didn't hear that from me though haha.

Not sure how much this would put you at ease, but my roommate is currently in 3rd year and she's about 5'8, I'd say 130, and she got an XS.

Jewels1986 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Definitely XS for the girl who asked - basically they're unisex sizes, so if you're a guy get your regular size, but if you're a girl think about getting a size smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantaloons Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 they're unisex sizes, so if you're a guy get your regular size, but if you're a girl think about getting a size smaller. ^Good rule of thumb. Also note that, although the Whitecoats look wicked-cool-awesome...you never really have occasion to wear them after the ceremony. (Unless you choose to wear them to the dissection lab. I decided to by a blank anonymous labcoat for dissections (as most do) so that my branded Schulich Whitecoat could continue looking wicked-cool-awesome.

BigM Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I would go Large or xL. I went Large last year (204 lbs, 6ft) and my white coat doesn't fit me. It's sleeves are too short and its tight around the chest and shoulder area. Fortunately I had to miss white coat otherwise it would have been embarrassing. Now, I don't have a white coat although I should talk to admin this year to get another one done.. Hmm, I was thinking of going with a large after it was recommended by one of your classmates but this makes me wonder if that will be big enough. I am 6'3 and about 210 lbs with fairly long arms. Might need to kick it up to an XL. Actually it might be a good idea anyways... I have heard some people complain about how short the coats are that you wear as a med student as opposed to a resident or physician (if you wear one). Maybe having an XL will make it long enough to get me undeserved respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobodycirclesthewagons Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Which brings up a good point..if you are Schulich-Windsor, don't waste your money on buying a lab coat for the anat lab because they were provided for us. Decent!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningdoc Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Kind of unrelated, but why is EVERYONE here over 6 feet tall?! I'm just under if it makes you feel better!

You guys will be in London for the beginning of O-Week until classes start. They billet (give you a place to stay) with UWO med students until you go to Windsor.

That's what I had thought and that's what made sense to me... we are one class after all. My Mom (works at UWindsor) thought she had heard something about it being at the Windsor campus/seen students last year for it... but she's also a tad batty so... I trust these responses more, hehe.

Did you send yours in? lol, not yet, we have the same build tho... mostly likely sticking with XL as well, but the "coats run large" part throws me off. I wear american eagle XL. Should I just stick to XL or go down to Large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'm sure a few cycles through the washer and dryer will shrink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, really, run much larger than average lab coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
