Working Class Kid's Lab Coat Durable Lab Coats for Kid Scientists or Doctors

It took me days of reading product reviews and searching through Amazon to find a lab coat that I felt was almost perfect for my child. I came across this kid's lab coat and decided to buy it since there were so many good reviews and it looked really nice. The people and photos did not let me down. This lab coat came right on time and wrapped in plastic looking new. I did buy a size 2/3 for my daughter who will be 3yrs old in a couple weeks. To give you all an idea of how it fits I've included some photos. My daughter is about 29lbs and right at 3ft tall. I was skeptical to buy this since I thought a size 2/3 would be too small. Turns out, the coat is a little too big. As you can see from the photos, the coat is a little past her knees. I don't have a problem with that at all since that means she will be able to wear it even longer and grow into it. My only suggestion would be that the sleeves be made a little shorter if possible. They are way too long but I folded them under so that's an easy fix. Based off of the length of the coat, maybe the sleeves are just right.The quality of the coat is better than I expected. By the photos it looks kind of silky. In reality it is very soft and comfortable to wear. It makes me want one for myself. The material used to make this looks and feels expensive, which makes this definitely worth the money. If you are undecided on whether to buy this, I am here to say that you will be happy with this product. The seller was great at answering questions and there is even a little information booklet that comes with the coat. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and would buy it again.

This is such a well-made lab coat. It reminds me of my lab coat years ago when I did research in a lab. I wouldn't think twice to wear this in a lab if it fit me. The hems are neat, the buttons are securely sewn on (no need to reinforce them) and are easy to use, the pocket openings are reinforced, and the material for the coat is of a quality that is surprising for the price because of its thickness. I'm impressed! Regarding sizing, my son typically wears size 6 shirts. I purchased the size 4-6 lab coat and it fits him to a "T". Just as with an adult 3/4 lab coat, the length falls to his knees. Kudos to the McNeils for enclosing a thoughtful and lucid booklet about the coat and the Scientific Method that is both humorous and educational. I couldn't be more pleased with this lab coat, and the booklet is a real bonus.

This coat is surprisingly high quality for such a reasonable price! It's a nice thick durable fabric and the buttons and pockets are securely sewn. This is not a cheap thin Halloween costume that will fall apart the first time you wash it--it's an actual authentic lab coat. I ordered the size 6-8 for my 4 ft. 1 in. tall 2nd grader, and the length fell right at his knees. The sleeves are about an inch too long for him, but it's doesn't hinder his movement or really bother him. My son is on the scrawny side, so this is also quite roomy in the chest and shoulders. The cut is tailored enough though that it doesn't look sloppy. I'd say it would comfortably fit most kids from 1st to 4th grade. It's perfect for dress-up or a school presentation. (My son wore it for "Dress Up As Your Future Career Day.") Great buy!

Wasn't sure how this "lab coat" would fit my 3 year old but it still fits him perfectly at almost 5. He's worn out two doctor kits but this lab coat is still going strong. And, have to let you know that he's gotten two job offers from two hospital clinics based on his professional look and the confidence he exudes while wearing it (ok, ok, not REAL job offers but his Doctor friends have been quite impressed with his confidence and his bedside manner that seemed to rise when he started wearing this lab coat ;-)

We purchased this coat for my daughter's project at school. After reading the biography of Elizabeth Blackwell, she was to dress up as her subject and present a brief talk about herself. The catch was, the presentation was due the Tuesday after Spring Break and we waited til the last minute to start work on her costume. Thanks to Amazon Prime the coat was delivered in time and I have to say, we were wowed! Obviously, much thought went into this garment and choosing the materials as well as the sizing ( an area where many others fall short). I would think the makers owned a shrink ray and had used it on the real thing except this coat is of far better quality than the real lab coats we've seen. We couldn't be more pleased and our little girl was thrilled to show off her outfit to her classmates. If you have a future doctor or scientist running around your house look no further for the appropriate attire. This is a winner.
