Quality of sewing is not very impressive, not well finished and pretty cheap quality. Not impressed with the manufacturing so it would be hesitant to purchase anything else.

I really like this lab coat. Nice, heavier fabric, sturdy buttons and overall solid workmanship. What keeps it from a five star review are two things - both related to the collar. First, I have now given up on Historical Emporium collared tops because everything I have ever ordered with a collar is at least two sizes too large around the neck. This lab coat is unfortunately no exception to that pattern. I wear a 16.5 in collared shirts, so I do not have a toothpick neck, and ordered a M/L size for this coat. Great fit everywhere except at the collar, which is at least an inch and a half big on me. The second ding is the collar height. It's way too tall. This is a style choice that I should have noticed before ordering, but I assumed/hoped that the collar would be the same height as every other Howie coat sold elsewhere. It's not. Ironically, if the collar height were lower, the collar sizing issues I mentioned earlier wouldn't be a problem because the garment collar would only come up to the base of the neck, like a mock turtleneck, instead of mid-neck like this one.

This is not the first one of these I've bought. The ones I have for myself have held up over several years of occasional use. This was for my niece's "white coat" ceremony, now that she has proven herself in the family ranks of super geniuses.

I am 5’7”, 195lbs. I ordered the med/lrg. It is big. I knew it would be long after reading the reviews and expect it to be loose but it is BIG. I feel like a child in my dad’s shirt. I’ll attempt to talk my partner into some alterations for a better fit. All that said, this is a nice lab coat. Heavy fabric, much better than a costume piece. It does have a chemical/plastic smell, I believe from packaging or storage. If adequate measurement were added I’d give this 5 stars. Overall nice product.

I order the lab coat for an event and it was great.

The material is great, the construction is sturdy, and the design is perfect! I was a little nervous about the price point but it is well worth it 10/10

I decided on a mad scientist costume for our Halloween party, but was disappointed with the quality of the costumes I found. I risked spending a little more on this lab coat and was very pleased with the material and construction. This was my first order from Historical Emporium, but unlikely to be my last.

This coat was a little big on me and required some refitting on the edges, even after ordering a small. If you are also a small guy, make sure to consider that. It looked great and was perfect for halloween and will be used for many years!

6'2" and 220 lbs here. The Medium/Large fit really nice except for some short sleeves. Cosplay has gloves so this is actually a plus. The XL/2X fit like a circus tent - definitely for a plus size fella or someone who wants to do their own tailoring. Everything else is as expected. Super thick fabric.

Made of a nice strong durable material!

I just purchased 3 for an opera. Quality fabric and design. Well made and I was desperate for a quick delivery which they did. Actors love the costumes. Highly recommended. Julie

Very well made and something not seen before which prompted my creative mind. Your vision of accessories is outstanding and leaves one to expand to suit personal taste. Material and construction quality is beyond reproach. The purchase procedure and delivery was flawless. Many thanks, Rick

I have 2 of these in black and white. They have added a great touch to my plague doctor/mad scientist costumes. Product is good quality and looks great. I’ll continue to order from HE for all of my Halloween costume needs.

I am very very happy with my purchase.

I was looking for a legitimate Mad Scientist outfit for a cosplay photoshoot and You guys did not disappoint. Great outfit for my character. I purchased the lab coat and the black gauntlet gloves. It was well received.
