Re: [DIYbio] Favourite Labcoat?

I'm using school-provided labcoats in a class now, they've got elastic
cuffs which I never wore before but they are OK... I guess they could
make for safer times. Otherwise I've only used one labcoat for the
last 7 or 8 years, and just something from the campus bookstore. The
one difference I noticed in my current class is that the lab coats
lack the two front hip-area pockets, and also lacks a breast pocket
(the lab coat has no pockets). This is pretty weird, as I'm used to
carrying an extra pair of fresh gloves in a pocket, maybe a pipet
pump, a sharpie and/or pen clipped into the breast pocket. At least
one other person in class mentioned the lack of pockets seemed
weird... I don't know if the school cheaped-out (less pockets, less
material cost?) or if there's some legit chem-lab safety reason for
example.

My lab partner years ago had a silver-thread-added lab coat that gave
it a snazzy pinstripe look, not sure how much it contributed to
antibacterial action, but I've also wondered if he was generally less
electrostatically-charged.
