Panels and shaping work together
The product page specifies front and back princess seams, rib-knit side panels and a four-way-stretch twill body. Those details make a fitted appearance plausible, but the right size still needs room for the uniform underneath. Test the jacket zipped while reaching forward and bending sideways. If the panels are stretched hard while you stand still, reassess the fit rather than expecting them to solve a sizing problem.
Discreet storage has its own trade-off
Two lower pockets sit in seams, while a vertical chest pocket closes with a zip. Consider this layout if you like a cleaner front. If you carry several bulky items in open patch pockets, load this jacket during a try-on and check access carefully. Pocket capacity and ease of access cannot be inferred from the total of three; the opening, position and item dimensions all matter.
Compare coverage before comparing style
The listed small length is 26 inches, shorter than the 29-inch small reference for Landau 3038. Verify the measurements in your chosen size before using that difference to decide. Wear your longest everyday scrub top underneath and check the look from the side. The 3038 offers a snap-front alternative with more listed coverage; the Carhartt C82410 offers a vented back and a more extensive equipment layout.
