Cotton naturally wrinkles but the blended Nylon reduces it greatly. They will wrinkle if not hung up but these wrinkles tend to fall out over time. Dry iron on medium temperature if needed.

What if it doesn't fit?

We publish detailed size charts to make sure you find the right fit the first time. You just need to check it against your own measurements. However, the lab coats can be returned or exchanged if you cover the shipping and restocking cost (usually around $12 total in the USA).

Will my lab accept these?

These FR lab coats are UL Certified to the NFPA 2112 flame resistance standard and have many built-in safety features that lab managers require like quick-release snaps, long knit cuffs, and a high collar. That said, check with your lab safety officer first. Requirements vary lab to lab, especially around specific hazards, laundering rules, and compliance markings like CE. For more details, visit our FR Lab Coat Safety & Care FAQ Page.

We can take group orders to save on shipping costs and we can accept Purchase Orders for a minimum of 8 lab coats. We will also offer embroidery options before shipping. See our group orders page for more details.

Is there a student or teacher discount?

Yes. Students, faculty and K-12 teachers get $10 off each lab coat ($11.10 off each at 10 or more).

SAFETY INFO

This lab coat is made from a PFAS-free FR-coated 88% cotton/12% Nylon blend from the American manufacturer Westex. The optional high collar, long knit cuffs (FR aramid fibers) and high-temperature Nylon front snap closure ensures it meets the most common requirements for lab work around flammable substances. Please check with your lab safety officer for compatibility.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO Have a lab coat you WANT TO WEAR...

Admit it. Your lab coat is just OK. You wear it because it’s there, and because you have to. But what if you had one you loved to slide into every morning? Here’s how it makes a real difference in your lab work:

👉 Your wrists stay covered from drips - even when you reach into the back of the hood

👉 Your tools are organized ON you - no running back and forth searching for them

👉 You can’t help but smile when you catch your reflection in the window. It just feels good.

Hidden details that matter

Durable FR Components

Extra stitching at key stress points prevents tears and resin-coated 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.

In honor of Exceptional Science

Named after Dr. George Washington Carver, the agricultural scientist and inventor who revolutionized farming in the American South through his groundbreaking research into plants, soils, and sustainable agriculture.

Rising from enslavement to become one of the most celebrated scientists of his era, Dr. Carver's belief that science should serve people, not just institutions, continues to inspire researchers to this day.

Every stitch of The George lab coat is designed for scientists: from agricultural chemistry to environmental science to food science, we're thinking of how your daily needs are different from doctors.
