Examples:
Name & Title Embroidery
- Name & title embroidery is placed above the pocket, anatomical left, unless requested otherwise.

At Medelita, we have the utmost pride in our embroidery work. Our in-house service allows us to provide exemplary service to our customers and colleagues. We go to great lengths to ensure that each garment is perfectly sewn, inspected, and packaged. But in truth, the very first thing that a customer notices is not the stitching or the curved lapels or beautiful pocket detail of the garment itself. It's the embroidery. We call it the "icing on the cake." The "stamp of achievement and great sacrifice." And the "closest thing to wearing your diploma." For that reason - it must be perfect. And that is our standard.
Allow us the opportunity to display your name and title - embroidered with prestige and perfection - in the manner you've earned.
Advice Regarding Embroidery Character Length
Example (Pictured Women's Estie Size 0 Lab Coat, 19 characters total on line 1 with 4 characters covered):
On properly fitting, gender specific lab coats with stylish lapels, there is limited amount of space in the area above the pocket, and between the lapel and the armhole. Some sizes and styes have less room than others. It is our priority to alert you in advance that Medelita embroidery is centered above the pocket, and embroidered to a standard size/height that is both legible and high-quality in appearance. The large majority of Medelita customers/colleagues are "ok" with some letters of their first name being partially covered by the lapel. For those that want to ensure that every single letter is visible, please adhere to the following guidelines to prevent coverage in both the first and second lines of embroidery.

Care Instructions
If you prefer home laundering, pre-treat stains prior to washing. See stain removal guide for best recommendations. Expect up to 2-3% shrinkage with home laundering.
If you prefer dry cleaning, find an environmentally friendly dry cleaner that cleans whites separately and changes dry cleaning solution daily. Point out any stains to the cleaner when you drop it off.
For home laundering, machine wash warm. Do not use chlorine bleach. Non-chlorine bleach is ok.
Tumble dry low heat or hang to dry. Our best tip is to partially dry for 5-10 minutes, then hang to dry.
For a most professsional and sharp appearance, press with medium to high heat with steam or press when garment is still damp. Use filtered water in iron and be sure the iron itself is clean before using.

NEW! A lab coat that combines style and sophistication with a slim fit and ultramodern design. Best described as tailored and distinguished, the 36-inch Emma W. lab coat has an elegant rounded tuxedo style collar and flattering loose back belt with buttons.

The coat also features a contemporary blazer-styled functional chest pocket and beautiful new finishing on the inner seams that raises the bar. Truly elegant and refined yet functional.
Lightweight, 100% pre-shrunk cotton fabric resists wrinkling and is distinctly more breathable and comfortable than polyester blend fabrics.

Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Nici PA-C Location: Winchester, VA  Written on: January 04, 2013 | Second lab coat purchase I love the new fabric. I had a Medelita lab coat in the older fabric, which I really liked, but the new fabric is so much better!!!
Falls nicely and fabric seems a bit lighter. Can't wait to wear it! ✓ I recommend this product One person liked this comment.    |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Becky Location: New York Written on: January 04, 2013 | Perfect! I have an Estie (since 2009) that I love but can't button all the way down because it has no belly room.
Well, this is Estie, but with belly room! I feel even more professional and dignified in it because I can actually wear it buttoned! And the smaller collar looks quite stylish. I get lots of compliments.
The difference between the old and new fabric must be quite subtle because I haven't noticed it. What it is, is gleaming white, and stain-and wrinkle-repellent, as much now as it was in 2009. And warm!
If it holds up as well in the wash as Estie's been doing, this is just perfect. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Chelsea Location: Atlanta Written on: December 05, 2012 | Love this jacket Great fit. Thick material. Lots of compliments at work. Well worth the money ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: AZPA Location: Phoenix, AZ Written on: November 03, 2012 | Professional and pristine I wear this coat in the clinical setting and it feels very clean and professional. It really does resist stains quite well compared to traditional lab coat fabric. The only difference is that with the increased resistance there is thicker fabric. It often feels a little bulky now (in the summer), but I know I will appreciate it in the cooler winter months. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Kristen, PA Location: Herrin, IL Written on: October 28, 2012 | Such high quality! This is my second lab coat from Medelita...I have to say they are wonderful! I get complements all the time. The fabric quality and styling is unbeatable. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Rehab Doc Location: Kansas City Written on: October 27, 2012 | Classic style! I get at least one compliment per day. It washes very well, and the stain protection is true to its name. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Karen, RPh Location: Michigan Written on: October 05, 2012 | excellent sizing recommendations Although I cannot locate the recommendation now, I believe I saw that the Emma jacket was best suited for a C/D bra cup size. Despite that, since it was such a great looking jacket & had some superb reviews, I ordered it anyways. (I am about an A + 1/2, 36" bust, 31" waist, 42" hip, 5'4"). I ordered a size 6.
It is indeed a stunningly well made jacket. But it was snug enough in the hips that the side slash pockets gaped open. And the fit through the bust-underarm area was just a bit sloppy on me.
I was truly disappointed. It is a beautiful jacket and easily the most well-made & sophisticated professional jacket I have seen. I will definitely continue to check the medelita website for additional products in the future. The excellent quality and distinctly fashionable designs will be a pleasure to wear when combined with a fabulous fit. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Danielle NP Location: Spangdahlem AB, Germany Written on: October 03, 2012 | Outstanding product This beautiful and stylish lab coat helps turn me in my military uniform into a health professional. The style is flattering and the fit is perfect! It was easy to order and I appreciated the personalized help in getting my embroidery wishes correct. The lab coat arrived quickly and was just what I wanted! I will never order any other brand of lab coat in the future. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall  4.00 Reviewer: Infectious Disease PA-C Location: Houston, Texas Written on: August 05, 2012 | Emma iPad is a pretty good fit The iPad with a cover fits in the pockets, it's just so snug that it takes effort to pull it out of the pocket and get it back in, making it less accessible, so I tend to forego using it for small tasks. I wait intil I need my ipad for several things and then pull it out for an extended of time.
A few extra millimeters in fabric for the pockets seems like it would correct the problem. It seems fine without a cover, but with 2 young children at home, and a tendency to drop things myself, I won't risk using it without the cover. Otherwise, I love this one just like all my other Medelita coats. They are well worth the additional cost up front, because they have all lasted me 5 times as long as the cheaper white coats bought elsewhere along the years.
The original Emma W. lab coat (which you have) is unfortunately NOT an iPad compatible coat, and that is why your iPad is too snug. We have a NEW version of the Emma W. coming out in the fall that IS iPad compatible, and all Emma W. lab coats going forward (after fall) will fit an iPad. This is one of our most popular lab coats and thus, the reason for the upcoming change. ✓ I recommend this product |
Emma W. Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Sandra S. Location: Orlando, FL Written on: August 02, 2012 | Fits perfectly I was really looking forward to this new coat and I wasn't disappointed. I already own the Estie and Callia but I love the tuxedo style on this design. Very well done. ✓ I recommend this product |
