How do I convince my lab manager or advisor?

Let us help you advocate for yourself and your lab mates! We've prepared this 1-page PDF you can print out and take to your next lab meeting.

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).

Does it meet my lab requirements?

These meet the requirements of almost every freshmen and sophomore level 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.

Why is it so expensive?

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!

We heard your stories

Your feedback made it clear that simple lab coats from big companies are affecting your daily life. You 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.

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.

Here's how to make every day in your lab a little better:

Select the style that most closely matches your body type or gender and measure yourself against the size charts to find your best fit.
If you want to embroider your name or logo, type in or upload files right on the product page with a live preview.
Checkout with any of several payment methods instantly, or fill out a quote request form if you need a group order (10+) or to pay with a purchase order.

So jump to the Louis or Curie pages to checkout now so you can stop the daily frustrations in the lab and start doing the amazing research you've always been capable of.
