See what real scientists think
Are you Frustrated with basic 3-pocket Unisex lab coats that...
- Make you feel claustrophobic when you bend, sit, and reach?
- Scatter your tools everywhere and leave you disorganized?
- Leave your skin exposed to chemicals and contamination?
- Make you feel like you're not a real scientist?
How to make your day better:
Move without restrictions
Pleats in the back and rear keep you nimble and comfy, even when sitting.
Stay organized & efficient
6 custom pockets and 3 loops so everything is ready when you need it.
Protect your vulnerable skin
Long knit cuffs, quick-release snaps and a 2-way collar give max protection.
Finally love your lab coat
Feel the difference in your day when your lab coat doesn't get in the way.
Our data shows most scientists hate their lab coats. Do yours?
Our survey of over 1000 laboratory scientists showed that more than 90% had a problem with their labcoat.
We understand that poorly designed lab coats aren't just an inconvenience – they're a barrier between scientists and groundbreaking research.
Not just about productivity...
Their responses made it clear that simple lab coats from big companies are affecting their daily life. They also told us exactly how to solve these problems...so we did.
We spent 2 years testing prototypes on ourselves and 30 working scientists and educators in diverse labs. Once they said "This is the best lab coat I've ever worn", we crowdfunded production with the science community.
Key features you'll love:
- Long knit cuffs and tapered sleeves to protect your wrists
- 100% medium-weight breathable cotton to comply with most general lab requirements (like organic chemistry lab 101)
- Stainless steel snaps to escape quickly in an accident
- The collar converts from lapel to Howie-style for extra protection
- Fitted profiles for men's and women's figures
- More pockets than any other lab coat!
The types of scientists who love our lab coats are:
- Organic and Synthetic Chemistry - especially Freshman Chemistry Lab
- Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Science
- Microbiology and Molecular Biology
- Neuroscience and Clinical Research
- Genomics and Genetics
- Solid-State Physics and Materials Science
- Manufacturing, Maintenance, and Engineering (Black lab coats)
The Story
Listen to my "Quirks and Quarks" Radio Show Interview 🎧▶️👉
Most lab tools are designed to perform a function and ignore the scientists who have to use them.
I'm a materials scientist. I've spent my career in labs, constantly frustrated by lab coats designed 100 years ago, bench tools with terrible ergonomics, and clunky software UI running on Windows XP.
We were so busy we just accepted it. But these things mattered. Nobody seemed to be fixing them. Until now.
So we built it...This is what 1000 scientists asked us to create. The movement is happening - will you join us?
Why the lab coat project?
We know that you're capable of doing amazing research. You just need the right tools.
The problem is big lab coat companies have convinced institutional buyers that cheap, 3-pocket, rectangular lab coats are good enough for you to do your job...but they actually make you feel like an unprofessional, inefficient blob when you step into the lab.
We believe a great lab coat that stays out of your way will let your inner genius shine.
It's so frustrating to feel constant discomfort and clumsiness in the lab...which is why we collected data from over 1000 scientists and engineers to identify the exact source of each problem.

The Louis and Curie meet the requirements of almost every freshmen and sophomore level general chemistry and organic chemistry lab class. For research, please 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.

You're getting certified American-grown cotton to ensure we don't support forced labor practices common in Chinese cotton used in other lab coats. Our snaps and zippers supplier (YKK) is the most trusted hardware manufacturer in the world. The abundance of pockets, zippers and snaps takes a lot of work to sew. Just compare it to a regular lab coat and you'll see the difference in detail!
