Cotton naturally wrinkles much more easily than synthetic fibers, so yes. Synthetic fibers like polyester are often used to make "wrinkle resistant" fabrics, but many labs required 100% cotton so this isn't possible.

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?

Check with your lab safety officer about hazards, laundering details, and any compliance markings you may need (FR, CE, etc.) For more details, visit our Lab Coat Safety & Care FAQ Page.

Can these be dyed other colors?

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!

Group orders, embroidery, and POs

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.

SAFETY INFO

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.

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.

Worth twice as much: QUALITY design and materials

Beside myself over how great this coat is! It's a luxe-weight fabric, sewn beautifully with the best details ever. Love all the pockets, the side zip opening at the hip, and the cuffed sleeves. Even the embroidery was done to perfection. I'm a US size 4 with a small waist and the S fits like it was custom made for me--not tight, not too loose. I could get a sweater but probably not a sweatshirt under it. (I could take in the waist a button or two but not more than that and anyway it's perfect for me as is. Plenty of extra room through the hips even for my pear shape.)

M / None

Best lab coat

Love my lab coats! I purchased two and use them for all my lab work. They fit great. I love all the pockets and the thickness of the fabric. I recommend this coat!

L / Text + Logo

Best lab coat ever

This lab coat is absolutely perfect. I wish I invested in this before. It fits perfect, the design is genius, it is the revolution in lab coat design that we need. I feel so safe and I can work and reach comfortably FINALLY.

S / Logo only

Exactly what I was hoping for

The cotton fabric is comfortable yet still crisp, so it holds its shape but isn’t scratchy and annoying like those typical loaner coats in the lab that are polyester. I’m really enjoying the higher quality of the snap fasteners too, the larger metal pieces feel more substantial and durable so getting in and out of the coat is easier and never feels like the closures are going to come away with the fabric. Also the pockets are generous and functional.

The design of this coat is tapered and more fitted, so aside from being functional and comfortable it also just LOOKS better. I would say the fit is on the leaner side, so consider sizing up if you want some extra room or will wear this over bulkier base clothes like a hoodie.

Overall I’m really happy this lab coat! I chose to get it embroidered too - the stitching quality is nice and elevates the coat even more.

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.
