Lab Coats

A lab coat is a knee-length, button-front garment that shields clothing and skin from spills, splashes and stains during practical work. Every lab coat we stock is white, made from a durable cotton-blend fabric, and built to handle daily wear in a school, university or industrial setting.

We carry three lab coats to cover different budgets and use cases. Our Jonsson lab coat is the one we recommend most for school and university labs, running from Small to 3XL in a 230gsm polycotton twill with two waist pockets and a chest pocket. For chemistry classes and any work involving acids or corrosive chemicals, the GFOX acid resistant lab coat adds a water-resistant, acid-resistant treatment over the same poly-cotton base, in sizes 34 to 58. For younger learners, our kids lab coat drops the pockets in favour of a simple press-stud closure, so there's nothing for small hands to catch or unbutton mid-experiment, and it comes in sizes to fit ages 3 to 12.

Whichever lab coat you choose, ordering a full set in a range of sizes is the easiest way to outfit an entire class or lab team at once. All three ship nationwide from our Boksburg warehouse, usually within 2 to 5 business days.
