Tall ("long") lab coat sources

[jdpharmd?]

Anyone know of a good source for "tall" sized lab coats? Somehow I got it in my head that META "1961 long" was tall enough, but then I found an old 44L META one that I had to have altered to even come close. Of course, no local uniform places carry any tall sizes. I'd pay for a decent one, just as long as it fit well. I feel like going to a lab coat tailor or something....

Are you using long lab coats at your community site? I use a "blazer"-like consultation coat. They gave us short-sleeve coats at our white coat cremony...practical, but definitely not a good looking coat.

Opps, I use the same style as you, LV. "Consultation coat"... I just need the sleeves and torso long (extra long?). Life Uniform in Glendale is hopeless. They've already lost my order once, and they didn't even know how to place an order today. I'm not going back.

I thought that they used META coats for our white coat ceremony, but I tried on the samples and they fit REALLY well. Maybe they were Crest or Landau. I might have to try to track down the school's source. Our white coat ceremony isn't until next month, and there's no way I'm wearing that one to lab. Thanks for trying LV. I'm still open to suggestions.

Sorry to hear that, JD...the Life Uniform shop down the street from my place is OK.

The only other place I can think of is the mail order place my mom gets her scrubs from, Jasco uniform

I just searched the web for a half hour, and didn't find much. I'll have to call my school and see who they went through. I was just hoping that someone else on SDN was in the same boat and had a good solution. There have got to be pharmacists, doctors, PAs, lab techs, etc who are way taller than me. Where do they buy their coats?

Find me on campus. There's a couple of stores next to T-bird and Good Sam that have Big and Tall coats. I'll type your PM next.

If you wear a long jacket in a grocery pharmacy environment don't get your feelings hurt if they mistake you for the butcher
