Velilla 535202 women's zip-front scrub tunic: opens fully in one pull
Women's healthcare tunic in 190 g/m² polyester-cotton twill, with a zip front closure and mandarin collar. The zip solves two things a V-neck cannot: it opens fully in one pull in the event of a spill and it goes on without pulling it over your head. Sold separately: trousers not included.
✅ Features
Front zip: opens completely in one move. After a splash, a product spill or an urgent change between patients, it comes off without fiddling with buttons or pulling it over your face.
Mandarin collar: a stand-up collar with no points or lapel, and therefore no corners where dirt can build up. It also gives a more closed, formal look than a V-neck.
Goes on without pulling it over your head: doesn't mess up your hair, smudge make-up or catch on earrings.
Back darts and semi-fitted cut: a women's pattern that shapes without squeezing.
Two lower patch pockets.
65/35 twill, 190 g/m²: a fabric with body, with no finishes that degrade in a tunnel washer.
👷 Suitable for
Beauty centres, spas and thermal spas, where the mandarin collar gives a more polished image.
Dental clinics and private practices.
Pharmacies, parapharmacies and opticians.
Veterinary clinics and dog grooming.
Professional cleaning services.
Food industry, where a mandarin collar is often a requirement.

🧺 Care
Wash at 60 °C. With no elastane or finishes, it handles the industrial cycle well.

Suitable for industrial laundry.
💡 Tip: The zip is the best and the worst thing about this tunic. The best, because it opens fully in one pull in the event of a spill. The worst, because it is the only part that can break and render the garment unusable, which doesn't happen with buttons. If the clothing goes to an external laundry, insist that it is washed with the zip closed: that is the difference between a zip that lasts the whole life of the garment and one that comes off its track after six months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the trousers included?
No. 535202 is the tunic only.
What does the zip offer compared with a V-neck?
Two things: it opens fully in one pull in the event of a spill or splash, and it goes on and off without pulling it over your head, without messing up your hair or smudging make-up.
And what is the downside?
The zip is the only part that can break and render the garment unusable, which doesn't happen with buttons. Always wash it with the zip closed.
Why a mandarin collar?
Because it has no points or lapel and therefore doesn't collect dirt in the corners. It is often a requirement in the food industry and gives a more closed, formal look.
Can it withstand industrial washing at 90 degrees?
The manufacturer specifies 60 °C. With no elastane or finishes, it handles the industrial cycle well, but the white suffers above 60 °C.
Can it be sterilised in an autoclave?
No. The polyester-cotton blend is not approved for autoclaving.
Can I use bleach to keep it white?
No. Chlorine yellows white polyester irreversibly. Use a chlorine-free optical brightener.
