The "Louis" Men's Cotton Lab Coat
$59.95 - $82.95$49.95
Lab coats are holding scientists back, and together we’re going to fix that. By listening to 1000+ scientists, we designed this white men's lab coat with 100% USA-grown cotton to solve these frustrations so that you can finally feel professional, confident, and safe every time you suit up. See Men's Size Chart Here.
Also available on Amazon (please leave a review)!
This lab coat is made from 100% cotton and all-metal snaps, which is accepted in most standard laboratory environments including introductory chemistry and biology lab classes. Please check with your lab safety officer for compatibility.
Fire:
100% Cotton provides better protection against flames than polyester or poly-cotton mixtures because polyester will melt to your skin and prevent emergency lab coat removal. 100% cotton is not “FR”, “flame-retardant” or “fire-proof”, and will burn slowly if exposed to intense flames. If your lab requires “FR” lab coats, get on our email list for our future release with flame retardant materials.
Acids:
Most lab coat materials, including 100% cotton, absorb strong acids and may develop holes from exposure. Always wear a neoprene, rubber, or PVC apron and long acid-resistant gloves on top of your lab coat when handling strong acids.

Love the coat!
This is easily the best lab coat I have ever used in a professional setting, I have already recommended it all of my colleagues and they are very much considering buying one! I am an astrophysicist but I work with a lot of astro-biologists and we have to use lab coats frequently!

You can never have too many pockets
The coat was definitely the envy of all my peers.
"The Louis" Lab Coat
Named after Dr. Louis Pasteur, the French chemist and microbiologist whose pioneering work had a profound impact on medicine, agriculture, and industry.
Dr. Pasteur overturned long-held assumptions about the origins of germs. His bold beliefs in the power of science also lead him to introducing the first successful rabies vaccine, saving countless lives.
Every stitch of The Louis lab coat is designed for scientists: from chemistry to microbiology to genomics, we're thinking of how your daily needs are different from doctors.
Features that Make research effortless
Hidden Adjustable Belt
Use the stitched-in soft cotton belt to pull the waist in up to 8 inches to fit your profile. The extra fabric folds neatly at your sides so you can look professional and feel confident in your work.
Dedicated utensil Slots
Stay organized and on task with everything right where you need it. The smaller stitched slots help keep your tools from sliding out when you bend or remove your lab coat.
Zippered side vents
Those knobs can't touch you now! We added zippers to the side access vents so you can get to your inner pockets in a pinch without getting snagged by knobs and equipment when you walk.
Back pleat for room to reach
This hidden back pleat opens up to two inches when you reach for those precursors in the back of the cabinet so your wrists stay protected and you stay comfy.
Transparent pricing
This lab coat requires more stitching and material than any other lab coat out there, but we’ve managed to keep the price to less than half of designer lab coats.
We do this by avoiding expensive advertising, relying on all of you to grow the project by word-of-mouth, and selling directly online with low overhead.
We publish all of our costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. All of our profits go to employing our staff and reinvesting in new colors, materials, and fits.
You like your skin. Let's keep it protected.
Soft 100% USA Cotton Twill
A proprietary blend of durable, tightly woven, medium-weight American grown cotton twill for protection, finished with softening and stain-release non-chemical processes. It won't melt onto your skin like polyester.
Long knit cuffs
Soft rib-knit cotton cuffs gently hug your wrists to keep your skin protected as you reach for those chemicals in the back. Tapered forearm sleeves also help keep your lab coat out of your science.
Quick-release snaps
All-metal snaps that won't melt shut when you've got to get out quick. Whether it's a fire, chemical explosion, or lunch time - no more messing around with unthreading buttons in a hurry.
Convertible collar
Lay it flat for the classic look and pop that collar when it's time to get down to business. Protect your neck and chest from unexpected splashes and explosions, "Howie" style.
How it fit our beta testers
First reactions from the Louis lab coat
Marc, Chemistry Educator
"I love my Louis lab coat. As a high school chemistry teacher I have more than enough pockets to keep track of the pens, stamps, etc is phenomenal. I love the cuffed sleeves and the belt that helps keep me from getting caught on lab tables as I move around the tables. I know the final version will only get better."
Andres, RA in Inorg/Org Chemistry
"Feels amazing, looks professional. Very functional (and was noticed by others as such), has a pocket and loop for everything. Can take a lot more than a thin blended fabric mix, and the extra thickness gives more absorbance and time to remove in case of an incident. Absolutely satisfied with the purchase."
Raul, Scientist and Scicomm personality
Love your design! It's so comfy and the touch of the cotton is amazing!!! It's a perfect fit.
Hidden details that matter
Built for durability
Extra stitching at key stress points prevents tears and steel pocket zippers from top supplier YKK will help this last and reduce waste.
Easy to hang and Identify
Our tagless design reduces itchy-neck and makes YOUR lab coat easy to identify on the rack. A generous hanger loop prevents it from slipping off.
Shoulder-mounted markers
An extra low-profile double-loop lets you keep markers securely on your shoulder for easy access when you don't want them on your chest.
Keep your phone isolated
Don't let your phone interact with your contaminated tools. We added a nested front pocket perfectly sized for a phone, OR as a second location for our pocket protectors.

Yes! We've already had customers send in photo of these dyed black and green. The only catch is that the stitching is synthetic (for strength) so it will always be white. Tye-dyed lab coat here we come!
