A 100% cotton lab coat designed by 1000+ scientists - to make every day in the lab a little easier.

Introducing The Curie and The Louis from The Lab Coat Project - As seen in major science media outlets

Lab coats are holding scientists back, and together we’re going to fix that. By listening to feedback from 1000+ scientists, we designed these white 100% cotton mens and womens lab coats to solve these frustrations so that you can finally feel professional, confident, and safe every time you suit up.

• The Lab Coat Project was featured in major science media outlets due to our innovative approach of crowdsourcing the design and crowdfunding the development. The problems we uncovered in our survey ran deep, and we knew we had to fix them. We shared our design progress to continue iterating - including testing the prototypes with 30 beta testers in real-world scenarios from chemistry labs to high school science classrooms.
• Most lab coats have a standard 3 pocket design with plastic buttons, bulky cuffs, and a V-shaped collar that leaves your chest exposed. These common lab coats are designed with medical doctors and healthcare workers in mind - not laboratory research. You need different features for safety and productivity, so every detail of these lab coats is built with the STEM workforce in mind. From quick-release steel snaps to long stretchy knit cuffs to a convertible up-down collar, these meet most lab safety standards for general chemistry and biology.
• In April 2024, our first lab coats shipped out to our supporters. Now, they are available to you!

Every feature designed to save you time and make laboratory research easier and more comfortable

THE LOUIS MENS LAB COAT SIZING GUIDE

Please take time to measure to ensure a great fit!

Using a tape measure or a string and ruler, measure the circumference of your body with a big inhale, without pulling it tight. Wear your normal lab clothes and include those in your measurements.

• Choose the smallest size that accommodates all 3 of your measurements
• For a relaxed fit, go up one more size.
• The hidden belt can pull in the waist by up to 8 inches for a more tailored fit if theres extra room.
• The sleeve length measurements above follow the lower inseam from the armpit to the tip of the knit cuff.
