Odd Request - Where to buy a lab coat?

Windle · 12 Mar 2009 at 22:23

Going to a fancy dress do on Sat night and as usual have left it late to sort out an outfit. Have a good one in mind but need a lab coat, don't really know anybody I can get one off. Are there any shops which you might typically find in a city centre (Glasgow) where you can find one?

For example, I'm guessing students need lab coats etc dependent on degree.

Stear clear of any from the GRI or Western. The Southern -- oomph!

Can't you just mug a student? *

* or ask, nicely

Need it for saturday. Too late for Friday delivery and most places don't appear to have saturday delivery options.

Therefore why I'm asking here. Don't you think the obvious thing was to check Google and thus I already had?

Yup, already on my list. Phoning first thing to see if they have stock in my local depot.

Pop into Glasgow uni and the uni shop should sell them or they will be able to tell you the cheap shop where the students get them from.

What part of Scotland are you from?

Not hard to zip through to Edinburgh, Hewats are well priced (under £20) and good quality.

Last time I checked they weren't cheap? Try auction if anybody's selling an old one.

look for some in the dickies brand, usually fairly cheap

uknowist · 12 Mar 2009 at 22:51

one of those fancy dress/joke shops will sell them

Jon33 · 12 Mar 2009 at 22:51

Uni shop or supplier should have them for about a tenner.

Local college / University, anyone that does Chemistry will have one or have a certain seller in the campus...?

I got mine for about £5 through my school at university. Only ever used it once.

Any students' unions near you?

They're at most £15.

I got one from a shop that sells school uniforms. I don't know if you can get to a student union shop, but they're likely to sell them, mine certainly does. Another place to try is Blackwells, sounds random but in Edinburgh they have a med student supplies section.
