Coloured Howie Lab Coats

Our coloured Howie lab coats combine the distinctive high collar and offset wrap-front design of a Howie coat with a choice of garment colours for laboratories, healthcare, education, food production and other professional workplaces. The Howie design provides greater physical coverage across the front of the body and around the neck than a conventional centre-front lab coat.

Choose from a range of coloured Howie coats suitable for individuals, teams and organisations, with selected styles available in multiple sizes and with knitted cuffs. Different colours can also help distinguish departments, teams or working areas, while personalised embroidery is available on selected garments for names, job titles, departments and organisation logos.

Choosing a Howie Lab Coat

Howie lab coats share the characteristic high collar and offset front associated with the Howie design, but individual styles vary in features, colour, cuffs and specialist properties. When choosing a Howie coat, consider the working environment, required coverage, garment length, cuff style and whether specialist features such as anti-static properties are required.

Always check the individual product specification and any clothing or PPE requirements provided by your workplace, laboratory or educational institution.

What Is the Difference Between a Howie Coat and a Standard Lab Coat?

A standard lab coat typically has a conventional centre-front opening and lapel-style collar. A Howie coat instead uses a high collar and offset wrap-front design, providing greater physical coverage across the front of the body and around the neck.

Individual Howie coats can also include features such as knitted cuffs, specialist fabrics or anti-static properties. The appropriate garment depends on your working environment and any clothing or PPE requirements specified by your organisation.
