Candiens12 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi Guys, I just got admitted to U of O and already I have to decide my lab coat size. Does anyone have experience choosing sizes? I measured my chest and shoulders as best as I could and the my sizes were 17 and 40 inches which corresponds to a x-small jacket size. This worries me as even though I am a small guy I never buy xs clothing. Should I trust the measurements or should I go up to size to small to make sure im not buying too small of a jacket? Is it better to be bigger or smaller? Does it even matter that much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trojjanhorse Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Are you serious ? what size lab coat you should wear? On a side note, Have you never worn a lab coat before? lol. I've worn a lab coat for 4 years. I don't buy XS or S clothing either but I wear a size S coat. My clothes are M. You don't want your coat to be too loose and too long. It depends on preference as well... if you like it loose then get a size bigger, if snug, then no (tempted to make a joke here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japlanet Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 As a small-medium sized girl, I got an XS lab coat and then got it tailored/taken in significantly. They are very big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
