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!

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.

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.

Birthday Gift and she loves it!

I bought this for my lab mate and she loves it and it looks fantastic on her! You just don't realize how bad previous lab coats were until you try this one.

S / None

A true high quality modern lab coat

You know those synthetic paper thin lab coats made for 35 cents and look it? This isn't one of them. High quality, thick material, COTTON not polyester. Solid weight and the silhouette displays nicely even when the pockets are full. Two things I wish the company would iterate: (1) make an organic cotton version and (2) add good sized (not micro) pockets on the interior of the coat. Even without #1 and #2, this coat is spectacular. Truly a science-based work of art-- someone from the science/clinical sphere was definitely involved in its creation, which is why it checks all the right boxes. Shipping was lightening fast. I got the white female lab coat fyi.

L / None

Best lab coat ever

I am always cold. Holding this coat you can tell that it is well made by the weight. As a woman, I am accustomed to a lack of pockets. Not only does the Curie have pockets, there are pockets inside of pockets! Little touches like a pen loop on the arm or inside the chest pocket make this my favorite lab coat of all time. It is also less expensive than other coats I have purchased that were not half as nice. Love the coat. 10/10, have recommended to others.

S / None

Nice coat, need thicker fabric

I can only wear white clothing underneath as it shows, so a thicker fabric would be really helpful

L / None

Super Comfortable!

I was worried that this coat would feel too heavy in the lab (I tend to run warm and sweat easily), but despite its sturdy construction, it’s been light, breathable, and comfortable. When looking at sizing, I fell in between measurements for the M and L. I decided to order a L, and I’m glad I did. At 5’2” I run a bit broad in the shoulders. My only criticism with the fit is that it’s a bit narrow through the back and shoulders for my frame even with the expanding pleat structure. So sometimes I get some resistance particularly when reaching upwards. Aside from this, I’ve been very happy with my purchase and hope this review helps a fellow scientist to find the right fit.

results from the lab coat project survey in 2023 show that more than 90 percent of scientists had at least one problem with their lab coat

You're not alone: We found most scientists hate their lab coats

Our survey of over 1000 laboratory scientists showed that more than 90% had a problem with their lab coat.

We understand that poorly designed lab coats aren't just an inconvenience – they're a barrier between you and groundbreaking research.

Quote: Being swallowed by a giant lab coat makes you feel like you are dressing up in a costume. It creates a strange imposter syndrome that whispers in your ear...You're not a real scientist. Sourced from The Lab Coat Project Survey in 2023

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.
