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.

Product reviews
Laennec Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Jeff Location: Canada  Written on: February 24, 2013 | Excellent Customer Service I am an internist in Canada and I have grown accustomed to wearing white coats on the wards - primarily for the pocket space and warmth.
I worked with Cindy (one of their customer service reps) and she helped me through the whole process. Our university logo was custom designed for the coat and it looks fantastic. I haven't seen a quality coat like this anywhere.
From previous reviews I decided to get one size smaller (as I'm a skinnier guy) and it worked out just right. The fit and quality of the coat, again, is beyond anything I've seen before. The material is excellent.
Lastly, Cindy was a joy to work with - the customer service is superb. She helped coordinate the color of the custom logo to match my name on the coat - much appreciated. I will be recommending these coats to my colleagues. ✓ I recommend this product    |
Laennec Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Matt Location: Austin, Tx Written on: February 12, 2013 | I will buy this product again and again I will tell you this, this lab coat is the best purchase in the way of looking professional. Its functionality is unsurpassed and I will buy this lab coat over and over again. It really does have the sport coat feel in a thick professional labcoat. ✓ I recommend this product |
Laennec Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: B. Zide, M.D. Location: New York, NY Written on: January 08, 2013 | A Cadillac of Coats Look I am going to give you a testimonial from a Full Professor, who does not want any payment for what I write now, yet I am a man who enjoys wearing your coats in my office. Frankly after using loads of different long lab coats from the hospital, bought elsewhere, iron-free, whatever, your 2 coats which I got at the ASPS meeting are the best I've had...They are solid, well made, and you've done a sturdy job at providing a Cadillac of coats when everyone else is selling junk.T he fabric and sewing are first rate. Thanks, BZ ✓ I recommend this product |

Laennec Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Doc Location: Portland, ME Written on: January 01, 2013 | Best Coat I Have Ever Had Suggest using block letters as opposed to script, they are easier for patients to read.

Laennec Lab Coat Overall 5.00 Reviewer: Debi, FNP Location: Seattle area, WA Written on: December 25, 2012 | Leannec lab coat I am a hospitalist and required to wear a lab coat. I am a woman size 10ish and prefer the pointed collar style. I did order several styles and sizes and am very happy with the Leannec style. I also purchased 2 of the "old style" Oslers and had them shortened. What I did like about the men's lab coats is that they are actually more fitted at the front than the woman's Ellody. For some reason these 2 styles fit better. I think the sewing construction and the brighter white fabric is definitely a plus in the Leannec style. Obviously everyone is built differently and you will need to try these on and decide for yourself which is the best fit.
Of course now that the smaller ipad is out, will we get regular size pockets again? ✓ I recommend this product |

Laennec Lab Coat Overall 4.00 Reviewer: doctor Location: San Francisco Written on: November 11, 2012 | Oversized Way oversized. I consistently wear a 42 and have a lab coat that is a 44. The 42 that I bought is is larger than my old 44. People say nice coat, why is it soo big? When I called about this issue there was no attempt to make the problem right so I am stuck with a nice, but very expensive oversized coat.
Unfortunately we sometimes come across these issues when body types consistently vary from one man to the next, and we are constantly working on improving our designs so that we can offer the most diverse range of lab coats to fit all body types. In the near future we expect to be able to accomodate this need, but for now we recommend that everyone interested in having their lab coat embroidered first take advantage of our free U.S. shipping and returns policy on most of our lab coats, and try the garments on to ensure the right fit before sending it back to us for embroidery. In the meantime, we sincerely apologize for this experience and hopefully you'll try this again using the process outlined above. In case you do, I have added $20 in store credit to your account towards your next purchase that you can apply at checkout. Thanks for your feedback. |
