Looking for a vintage lab coat for Hugo Strange costume

[paulv70]

I'd like to make a Hugo Strange costume and need help finding an old fashioned lab coat.

It looks similar to the Dr. Horrible one, cept the flap is on the other side:

If anyone can help me identify/find one I'd really appreciate it.

It's called a Howie lab coat. I had one made years ago -long before Dr. Horrible became so popular. Don't ask me for a pattern, it was made from scatch made by using sketches of what I needed at the time, and yes, my mother made it for me.

I had found some websites that have these overseas, England still uses them, but when I inquired about them, I had no response.

I made a simple old school mad scientist lab coat a few years ago by simply taking a white sport coat I found at a thrift store, chopping the collar up and flipping the lapel open and adding buttons down the side.

It's not a perfect solution, or a 100% accurate lab coat, but it gets the idea across pretty well and it was VERY cheap.

This guy makes them, and they are good quality, but on the pricey side.

You might be better off to just have one custom made.

Thanks for the tips guys.

BAK55 - Thank you! I just did a quick search for Howie Lab Coat and found a bunch of them.

Looking to do this costume for DragonCon this year. I have a lead on the lab coat but does anyone have any full length shots of the whole outfit? Specifically what style pants and shoes. Also is it leather gloves or black latex ones? And finally anyone know where I can get a copy of the Arkham logo to make a transfer for the coat?

Thanks

Coat is modded from the neo coat pattern which was used for Ming as well.
