Lab coats
Where can I get black or white lab coats? Killing to many t-shirts and pants to grease.

Do an online seach for a retailer selling "scrubs." They usually sell lab coats too.

The uniform company I use has them. Ask an auto shop you use to get some from their uniform company. They are not too expensive. Don't get white, for obvious reasons...lol

Are you working on Corvettes or Mercedes?
Not a bad idea to keep one tucked away somewhere in the car in case something goes wrong. I used to keep an old flightsuit, but a lab coat would be better. At home, I have a couple pairs of old dockers and sweatshirts for messy jobs.

Our chemists use disposable coats. Don't know where they come from. One of the scientific supply companies most likely. They are more expensive than anyone else.
Here is a link to a cheaper one.

I have seen heavy duty disposable jumpsuit/coveralls at flea markets and bought a pair to keep in my car in case of road emergencies rather than get grease on a good suit. I think I paid less than $5 for a set.

Why a white lab coat?? It will show every dirty spot. They also have a row of buttons down the front that scratches paint.
Why not coveralls???

Go to a military surplus store and get some cover-alls. The are not to much money.

You'll look like the Icecream Man...but they are great. Lightweight & dissposable. I think you can get them by the case at Grainger.

I feel like a sausage with coveralls on. Something about trying to fit a 6' 2" and 225lb man does not work.
