Kimberly Green is a personal shopper who is exploring the wonderful world of gender sensitive clothing in the medical field, including designer lab coats. Pointing out that a properly tailored designer lab coat can make a female physician look and feel as great as the work she does.
When shopping for a lab coat, one has to consider the merits of a true designer lab coats versus the mass-produced, poorly constructed lab coats that some companies recklessly label as “designer”. True designer lab coats are hand-sewn, made of premium quality fabrics and have interesting, sophisticated designs. Couture tailoring details such as inside seams, rounded collar, darting and treatment with high quality fabric protector are the hallmarks of true designer lab coats.
As “designer lab coats” go - buyer beware. There is more to a designer lab coat than mere appearance. Before making a purchase, one must ask, “does this ‘designer lab coat’ have the same attributes as any other piece of designer clothing?” If not, consider buying from uniform companies that don’t assign designer labels to mediocre products. Also consider original designer lab coat manufacturers based in the U.S.
If one is looking for a designer lab coat, look beyond price and focus on the details. You can easily indentify a hand sewn garment by the type of stitching and complexity of the details. Hand sewn garments often have rounded collars, pockets and finished French inside seams, as opposed to sloppy, outer stitching that is visible and exposed to fraying. These details give a true “designer lab coat”, the feel of a finely tailored ladies sport coat rather that a boxy, square cut, smock.
Look for premium quality, 100 percent cotton fabric, as the gold standard in “designer lab coats”. This is what gives the garment its structural stability and permits a sophisticated designer form. Some “designer lab coat” companies use soil and stain treatment to help prevent soil and staining in harsh medical environments. When one evaluates the design of a lab coat one must give soil and stain treatment a high priority, considering the environment and the intended use of these garments.
Designer clothing flatters and compliments its wearer. From elegant evening gowns to “upscale jeans”, designer garments are synonymous with quality, durability, and timeless style. A “designer lab coat” should also live up to these standards and make the person wearing it feel good about themselves, as if they were wearing a favorite outfit.
“Genuine designer lab coats” are “designer” and tested by people who wear them, just as performance athletic clothing and any other specialty item. Some companies create, manufacture and test their designs while others simply act as resellers. To ensure you are buying a designer lab coat, purchase it directly from the manufacturer. Many can be found online and more are found in uniforms stores across the United States.
