We needed to inexpensively make 30 middle-school girls look like CSI scientists for a special forensics murder mystery event at summer camp. These fit the bill perfectly. Affordable, right size for preteens and early teens, and we were pleasantly surprised that they were durable enough that we can store them to use again later. Paired with blue nitrile gloves and clipboards, these lab coats were a big hit. Don't know how well they'd hold up in a professional lab for daily use by adults, but it worked for what we needed.
