Wouldn't it be just as easy to alter a regular jacket - extend the one side over the other and add the facings? It wouldn't be much different from changing a center back seam to a center side seam. These lab coats are much closer fitting than the current ones, and I don't remember if there are pockets in them or not.
I seem to remember a picture of several people in iron lungs in one room. The nurses are smiling at the camera and the smiling doctors are wearing the lab coats you are talking about. The people in the iron lungs are not smiling. I'm sure that famous picture (from Life Magazine IIRC) would be somewhere online.
