This is vibrant and well made! Was worth the money.

I have bought three of these for myself and my kids. They do run a little small I feel. Weight and color are perfect

My chemistry students loved me in this lab coat! One of the school colors was red and this made a really bold statement!

I am very pleased with the quality of this coat. The cotton fabric is very substantial without being bulky or uncomfortable. It is well constructed and I know I will be able to wear it for many years. The only thing I would change is the number of button holes on the adjustable tabs on the back of the coat. There are two buttons but only one button hole. I would love to see 3 or 4 button holes to allow for more adjustments. I ordered the 3XL and it is very roomy which I like, and again I would like the ability to have more adjustments to the back. I paired this with a red top hat, black gloves and a glowing jar around my neck. I got so many compliments at the Edwardian themed party I attended. Red always makes a statement.

For only needing this as a costume it kept me warm while running around. I went with a size larger than recommended and it fits me perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to do a Dr. Horrible cosplay or even a mad scientist costume.

No problems with it and it delivered on time.

This is a real garment, not a cheap costume. It buttons up all the way and the size and sleeves fit just right. The red color is great.

This does look great, but please note it is quite warm if you plan to wear it indoors, you need to watch you do not get overheated since it does button up to the neck.

The labcoat is incredible. I know it will be able to take a lot of abuse and last. I cant wait to get another one in black, which is what I originally wanted. However, the red is an amazing color and i am glad i got it.

Great quality, great look. I can't wait to use it.

It is hard to tell the quality with just a picture but this item is indeed well made, I am a big guy so I ordered the XL/2XL and when I received it and trued it on it fit perfectly. The material is a nice weight not light like some cheaper versions very durable. It was a little more then I wanted to pay but it is worth the price, I am very happy with this item

I ordered this for myself for a dr horrible costume. Since I am a 5'8 female this came to the floor. I had to make some alterations to make it work for my needs. The quality is great, decent fabric. Not thin and flimsy at all. I'd recommend this item to anyone looking for a lab coat to use for any reason!

thank you so much.... everything is such high quality.... i recommend this site for all costume play and just plane old amazing formal ware ..... stand out out your next party .... and this particular item is very well made with high quality fabric and fits amazing ..... thank you for all your amazing stuff

I purchased this for myself for a Dr. Horrible cosplay. It fit a bit bigger than expected, but I am a female instead of male. Nothing a little sewing can't fix. I wore this at Alamo City Comic Con with a tank top and shorts underneath, since it was long enough you didn't need to see the pants and was quite comfortable.

Ordered this for DragonCon this year to do Dr. Horrible. This thing is very well made. Comfortable and the perfect color red. Love it. I am even thinking of doing a Vash the Stampede Coslay for DragonCon as well.

I bought this for my Halloween costume but it didn't fit. I bought the large & it was too big but the small was too small. The large fit around my bust but everywhere else it was too big. Too bad, that would have been a great costume for work....

I ordered a small because the dimensions indicated that was the right size for me. It was long, but that is easily fixed. At that price, I was concerned the fabric might be see-through, but it good quality and workmanship. Could not be happier.

So this is my second clothing purchase for my husband from Historical Emporium and, just like last time, the materials are heavy duty and solid. This is something you can wear for many years, not just on Halloween. Unfortunately, just like last time, it is a bit snug in the tummy. He has a 54" waist and I got the 3x/4x which should have worked since the size chart says it should fit chest/torso up to 58". It will button, but a few of the buttons directly on the widest part of his tummy are straining and a little uncomfortable. He will still use it, but may leave a few buttons undone for comfort. Lastly, as seems to be usual with Historical Emporium, it was a bit long. I hemmed the arms and bottom hem and it looks great now, but that is something that may need doing unless you are tall.

This coat is made of high quality heavy material, it is comfortable, and, in mad scientist circles, quite stylish!

This is a quality product, but you need more fidelity in your sizing. I ordered the "3X/4X" size, because I was concerned that something labeled "XL/2X" would be too small. I mean an XL and a 2X are quite different is size. The 3X/4X arrived, and it was gigantic. I mean, the thing was a tent. So I returned it and ordered the XL/2X... Too small. That's just silly, frankly.

Love this coat. I had one a while back from this site, but I accidentally shrunk it trying to wash it, and donated it to a theater show I was in. I just bought a new one, and it's the same high quality as my old one. I don't think I can trust any other supplier. It's durable and made of sturdy fabric. How ever, working in a stuffy haunted house will make you sweat with this thing on.

I've used this for a couple cosplays. It is expensive, but the quality of the material is worth it. I absolutely love this thing! If you don't mind paying good money for good quality, i recommend this. It went perfect for my Junkenstein (Overwatch) cosplay.

First off, perceptional internet research exhibits that "The Historical Emporium" carries the most authentic old fashioned apparel products. The Historical Emporium had my "Mad Scientist Howie Lab Coat" shipped the next morning, and almost immediately provided a shipping tracking number. 100% The Lab Coat itself is 99% what I expected. I like that it is long- similar to a trench-coat. However the buttons are NOT made of metal like stated in the item description on the website, and my hypothesis is that the neck collar is NOT "reinforced". My conclusion is that I am 99% satisfied, I would have loved metal buttons and a more reinforced neck collar. I do appreciate the Historical Emporium and will continue to still do business. I also look forward to submitting customer product photos in regard to the monthly contest. Cordially, MaD JaKe

The sleeves were a little long, but then, I'm 5' 7". It fit perfectly everywhere else, and I just rolled the sleeves up a bit. When I get time I may have them hemmed up a bit. But since I was wearing the elbow-length industrial gauntlets over it, the sleeves weren't a problem. This thing looks terrific - I may have to buy them in other colors, but when you wear the white one everyone immediately knows you're a scientist/doctor (I got it for a steampunk mad scientist costume). It's a fairly heavy material, but it's loose enough for good airflow, and I didn't get overheated in it. It was exactly what I needed and wanted, and my costume was quite popular. Thanks!

This is a great quality costume lab coat for the money. It isn't perfect but it is the best I have found for less than $200. The fabric is quite heavy and nice, flows well, and should be easy to age. My only real complaint is the collar is not tight enough when buttoned and flares out like a cone instead of standing up vertically. I will probably move the collar button to try to fix that. The sleeves are big and flared as shown in the photos but that isn't a major issue. The coat does run big so be careful with the sizing. I am a 42 and the M/Lg coat is big on me. This will be perfect for a Dr. Vannacutt House on Haunted Hill party!

I am 5'9 and around 205 lbs. The L/XL coat was too large and so I returned it for the M/L which fits perfect. I had zero trouble making the return and the turn-around time was less than a full week from return shipping to receiving the replacement.

It is a great fit and I love the heavy weight cotton fabric.

I ordered this for Halloween. It was a hit. Everywhere I went people loved it. Very well made. The material is a nice weight. I got the M/L. I am 6'0" 180 pounds. I took the tightest button adjustment and it fits great.

I was looking for a lab coat to cosplay my Hugo Strange with for Halloween I looked all over the internet and this was one of the ONLY options Luckily it was near perfect and its accurately portrayed retro vibe was an awesome plus, would defientely recommend Historical Emporium if anyone is looking for a good lab coat for whatever reason!!!

It is incredible. To be honest, I wear it while I'm cooking! Yes, a little mad alchemy in the kitchen. It's so much fun! Thank you

This is a fabulous item. This is the second version of this coat I have purchased. This is for a plague doctor. I also own a white version to be a mad (well, slightly peeved) scientist. Both fit wonderfully and are comfortable to wear for an extended time. The only negative is the buttons can be a little difficult to work sometimes due to placement. It is a great purchase that will last many years (my white coat is around 5 years old and in near-perfect shape).

Superb quality fabric and excellently adhered buttons. It is indeed larger than expected and sizing down is a good idea. This is a commercial-quality coat that has so far done a fantastic job of repelling the blood and fluids of political prisoners and coronavirus-infected degenerates.

Do not confuse this with halloween costume crap - it will stand up to close scrutiny - all the buttons are working buttons. It is stage quality. Bought this for an Uncle Fester halloween costume for 2 reasons: it appeared to be well-made and it wasn't a monks robe (which every other dealer tried to pass off as Fester's coat). Alright, this wasn't going to be Fester's coat either, but it looked much closer than anything else I could find. It was perfect! I ordered a XXXL because I wanted to stuff a pillow under it and the fit was still a little loose - at 5' 10" the length was all the way to the floor without tripping over it. Add some makeup and a trick light bulb and, poof - Uncle Fester! Helps to start out with a bald head because skull caps are a pita. I also bought a pair of German made welder goggles with 3 different pairs of lens shades - only ones I could find that actually had metal rims, everything in the steam punk world was plastic. Take off the makeup, add the goggles and some wild hair (or not) and let the mad loose. The coat is made from a good cloth and stitched well so it should last for years, unless you really are a scientist, mad or otherwise, and expect to use it daily. I could see using this for a Mortician as well as the Uncle Fester and Mad Scientist costumes. I just ask myself, "What would Christopher Lloyd do with this coat?"

Really, no joke. It is almost too big which for me is a pleasant surprise, I ordered a size larger out of habit expecting to have to send it back for being too short, or not being able to put my arms through the sleeves, instead a well made and accurate sized garment arrived in record time. I am quite pleased.

I am a MS chemistry student in California and was looking to replace my cheap white lean coat for something more aligned with my personality. I wear this while teaching a general chemistry lab class for non-science undergraduate students. I have gotten a lot of really positive responses from colleagues and my students. The fitting is nice and the quality of the material is worth the price. I only wish that it had small slits in the sides at waist level so I could get into my pockets without having to flap open the front.

I was really impressed with the quality of the material, not mention how comfortable it is as well. This is a perfect coat for the mad scientist costume you want. I wore this to my local comic con and it went over way better than I imagined it would. My only nitpick was how long the coat was. I put it on and it went all the way down to almost a half inch from the floor. But fortunately, it was an easy alterations fix. Worth every penny for the mad scientist in anyone.

This is a great lightweight well made coat. As a shorter round guy the M/L fit me well with the only adjustment needed was the sleeves (stitch witchery fixed it). I actually used this as more of a dark wizard cloak and it worked well. I do wish it had pockets but very minor gripe as i was able to access my own short pockets underneath when needed. The lightweight is great for summer events. Delivery was fast.

it is a very nice nice material and not to thick. i got the medium cause I read other reviews that said to get that for a size 42. it just barly fits me but that's ok cause I am losing weight. The look though is impeccable you will be surprised hwo good you look in it and I'm not a person to brag on myself. I do recommend wearing light clothes under it though

I love everything I've ever gotten from Historical Emporium, and this coat is no exception. It's durable, well-made, and designed to be comfortable for folks with a more generous figure. My wardrobe is slowly becoming all vintage/cowboy/steampunk because I can get good looking, good quality clothing here that fits and is comfortable to wear - usually for a lower price than ordinary clothes bought through some major outlets.

I purchased my Howie Lab Coat with the intention of using it as part of a Halloween costume. It is so comfortable that I sometimes just wear it around the house for fun.

Absolutely loved this product, it arrived literally within a few days, and I used it for my historical tours here in Old Town San Diego as a mortician. It goes great with my leather steampunk belt bag that I got from here as well. Sadly when my car got broken into 2 days ago, this coat was stolen. I will definitely be getting another one as soon as I can. So if car thieves would rather have this coat than my GPS device, then I'm sure you'd like it too.

Great looking coat and the quality of it is excellent,really looking forward to wearing it to my local Night club

It is always nice to find "exotic" costumes that fit the typically larger American. Not only that, but it is not a cheap looking lab coat. It wears well, and seems to be professionally built. Comfortably thin, but not THAT thin. This is not a cheaply made costume. The Mad Doctor is IN!

There's always a risk involved when ordering stuff online, and even if the item description isn't totally misleading, it still doesn't give a good idea of what you're actually ordering. Basically, you get a (brown in my case) lab coat made of cotton. However, the material is somewhat thin and drapes the body more like an hospital gown than an actual coat. The picture used to depict the product is, to my eye, somewhat misleading as the material appears to be sturdy like if it was thick cotton. I'm actually comparing the picture and my coat and they don't look the same. I was planning to use this coat for a mad scientist costume but I'll need to add an apron or some kind of accessory if I don't want to look too ridiculous (i.e. like an hospital patient with a brown gown and weird goggles). Consequently, the $75 price tag is pricey for what you get. I must say though that shipping was pretty fast and Historical Emporium customer service was impeccable. In the end, my 2 stars rating is based on this: -1 star for the misleading picture, -1 star for the hefty price (for what you actually get) and -1 star for the cheap material.

Well made, sizing was good, nice fit and finish, heavy cotton similar to demim weight so should be pretty durable, would have been nice if it was lined, but I suppose that would cost more. Only reason did not give 5 stars is the adjuster strap in the back, it seems to have been added in as more of an afterthought, kinda basic.

Great coat. Perfect for all sorts of events and dress up parties. A great fit and durable. May buy another one in black.

My grandson and I ordered this and he was thrilled with it. It is exactly what he wanted.

I purchased this coat for a Plague Doctor costume that I put together, The coat is a little on the slim side but worked out great for me, I am 6ft 195lbs. I waxed the canvas to give it a stiff and aged look with melted paraffin and beeswax. I really like this coat and can't wait to find another excuse to use it.

This garment has a great look to it. The fabric is light and breathable. The sizing was spot on. The buttons are a litle difficult to use without a mirror, due to location. The lab coat has no pockets. Perhaps that is by design, and historically accurate. Still, I would prefer it to have two side pockets (not front pockets). It opens at the waist easily enough to allow access to any pants pockets worn underneath. The sleeves are quite large. When paired with large gloves or gauntlets, they are manageable. Without gauntlets, the sleeves get in the way when trying to do just about everything (unless you have long arms). Overall, this is a great purchase.

We have a Halloween event for employees and their families every year. This year needed a spectacular Dr Frankenstein. This lab coat made it just that - spectacular! So much better than the other junk you find out there. The quality is fantastic! The look is perfect! Sizing is a bit tough to fit everyone, but works just fine for me although a little snug in the middle (probably my problem more than the item). Better suited for the mad scientist who gets to the gym regularly, instead of staying at the lab doing research. So if you keep ahead of the monsters by jogging - perfect!
