the kid Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I am looking for 11 lab coats, or doctor coats, for a show we are doing in december, I have had a hunt on ebay and can get some for £8.50 each new but we would quite like them cheaper or 2nd hand, or even loaned, I have been to all the local doctors/hospitals and they wont give us any. The 2 people I know who are in labs will not give me any, something to do with possibly deadly chemicals/bacteria on them. Does anyone know of any places that are going to have any cheap or free to hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPSTechie Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 We have lots kicking around in the science department at school, so possible you should ask if you could borrow them, and with it being at the school they want have any very harmful chemicals on them.

bruce Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Years ago, there was a second-hand-industrial-clothing shop in Glasgow - you could buy decent quality cotton boilersuits etc for a pound or two. Great for DIY... It's long gone now, but virtually everything they sold - boiler suits, overalls, labcoats etc - were ex-contact hire. I believe it came mostly from Sketchley cleaners & contract clothing - now part of the Johnson group. Yes, I know, telling you about a shop that shut down years ago isn't very helpful....

w/robe Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Large army surplus stores sometimes have them if you have a local one. Otherwise you could try Sabre Sales 023 9283 3394, insert ear plugs before calling and make sure you know your post code in the phonetic alphabet, the owner is very friendly but was a Captain in the army and likes to shout!
