Men's semi-fitted long-sleeve lab coat
Velilla 539001 Men's Semi-Fitted Lab Coat: the classic white lab coat, with body
The traditional men's white lab coat, in 210 g/m² polyester-cotton twill. That weight is what sets it apart: it is the heaviest lab coat in the catalog, it doesn't show through over a dark shirt and it stands up to years of washing. Long tailored sleeve, central button closure, belt at the back and three pockets. The women's version is reference 539002.
✅ Features
- 210 g/m²: twenty grams more than most lab coats in the catalog. This means a garment that drapes well, doesn't show through and withstands more wash cycles.
- Two-piece tailored sleeve: the sleeve follows the natural curve of the arm and doesn't bag at the elbow, which is what gives away a cheap lab coat after a month.
- Belt at the back and rear vent: the belt lets you define the waist without the coat looking loose; the vent gives room to move when walking.
- Front and back side panels: they give shape without taking away working ease.
- Safety waist at the back: a seam that gives way before the fabric tears if the coat gets caught.
- Three patch pockets: one chest pocket and two lower pockets.
👷 Ideal for
- Analysis, quality control and research laboratories.
- Pharmacies, opticians and orthopedic shops.
- Medical practices and veterinary clinics.
- Food industry and bakery workshops.
- Technical teaching, vocational training workshops and school laboratories.
- Warehouses and distribution centers.

💡 Tip: This is the lab coat to choose when the washing is done by an industrial laundry and not by the user. With no elastane, no antibacterial treatment and no repellent finish, there is nothing that can degrade in a wash tunnel: just fabric. High-performance lab coats (539006S stretch, 539010 microfiber) are better garments for as long as their finishes last, but in a harsh process this one outlasts them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from the 539002?
The 539002 is the same coat with a women's pattern and sizes from XS to 2XL. This one is for men and goes from S to 3XL. They are different patterns.
And from the unisex coat 539004?
The 539004 is lighter (180 g/m², 80/20) and has a straight unisex cut, with a wider size range from 2XS to 4XL. This 539001 has more body and hangs better.
Why does the 210 g/m² fabric weight matter?
Because a lightweight white coat is see-through over dark clothing and loses its shape sooner. At 210 g/m² the fabric has body and withstands more washes.
Can it withstand industrial washing at 90 degrees?
The manufacturer specifies 60 °C. It is the coat in the catalogue that best tolerates a harsh process because it contains no elastane or finishes that can degrade, but above 60 °C the white suffers.
Can it be sterilised in an autoclave?
No. The polyester-cotton blend is not approved for autoclaving; steam at 121-134 °C degrades the synthetic fibre.
Can I use bleach to keep it white?
No. Chlorine yellows white polyester irreversibly. Use a chlorine-free optical brightener.
Does it shrink?
Very little. The 65% polyester stabilises the fabric.
