Classico was founded in 2008 after a doctor asked, ""Why aren't there any stylish lab coats?""
We design, develop, and sell stylish, Italian-inspired lab coats, as well as stethoscopes, shoes, and other healthcare apparel. As a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand, we add value to the experience of healthcare professionals by listening directly to their feedback.
Classico supports healthcare professionals by providing medical apparel they can feel completely comfortable in. We are developing our business to help ease the challenges of the medical industry and boost the motivation of healthcare professionals.
Classico's lab coats and scrubs are made with meticulous attention to design, materials, and craftsmanship.
The design and pattern-making of our lab coats are handled by Classico co-founder Nobuo Ohmameuda, who previously worked as a cutter and designer for a studio making Italian-inspired tailored suits. All our coats are designed to combine elegant style with practicality and ease of use.
To meet the rigorous demands of medical work, the fabric requires a variety of functions, such as stretch, odor resistance, water absorption, and antibacterial properties. At the same time, a sense of premium quality and other fashion elements are also essential. To meet all these requirements, Classico conducts its own materials research and fabric development.
Even with identical tailoring, the final product's appearance varies greatly depending on the maker's skill. Classico's lab coats are produced exclusively in select facilities equipped with the most advanced sewing technology. These facilities are capable of outstanding product finishing, quality, and management.
Classico is a brand of stylish lab coats designed to boost the confidence of the people who wear them. Using sophisticated tailoring technology, we strive to create lab coats that are both elegant and highly functional.
Classico's line of scrubs was created to bring positivity to medical workplaces through collaborations and to break down traditional boundaries. We promote the use of scrubs not only by busy healthcare professionals but also by artists, photographers, and characters in film, music, and theater.
In partnership with Gelato Pique, the premium loungewear brand founded on the concept of 'dessert for adults,' we offer a unique collection that complements our signature lab coats and scrubs. This collaboration thoughtfully extends our commitment to comfort and professional style.
We have continuously redefined the history and value of the lab coat by thoughtfully considering what truly constitutes the ideal uniform for those in the medical field. Our dedication to meeting the expectations of both current and future customers is unwavering. We are committed to being a trusted partner, ensuring that those who have already worn our coats and those who have yet to experience them for the first time can rely on our quality and service.
