Where to buy

UTS says the UTS Union shop sells lab coats and safety glasses. Workwear and medical uniform stores in Sydney also stock plain coats.

Professional insight

Lab managers want a coat that covers the arms and closes fully.

  • Check your subject outline for any coat colour rule.
  • Long sleeves with cuffs keep spills off wrists.
  • Cotton or poly cotton suits most teaching labs.
  • Buy a size that fits over a jumper.

Sizing

Measure your chest over your usual clothes. Choose a coat that fastens easily and lets you reach forward.

Care

  • Wash your lab coat apart from other clothes.
  • Follow the care tag temperature.
  • Replace a coat with holes or chemical stains.
  • Carry it in a separate bag to and from class.
