The lab coat is a knee-length heavy cotton (usually white) unlined
coat/jacket, with side seams split to allow access to trousers pockets,
possibly two front pockets with angled openings, and a pocket on the
left chest. You could probably use a raincoat pattern along

When I was a tech writer for one of Hewlett-Packard's computer research
labs, there was a chemistry research lab across the hall. Our
department's vending machine was near our door to that hall, and the
chemists came in to use it a lot. Yes, they wore white lab coats. They
also wore what is
Regular lab coats can be had from many places, easily. I got one for my
hubby one year; his job title was Senior Scientist and I had one
embroidered Senior Mad Scientist above the pocket in the usual place.
However, the shoulder-button type is one I've only seen in

This one it's probably not really what you are looking for but it's closer
than the newer style coats.
I know that House of Vamp (a goth company) does a lab coat dress. Maybe

I've seen in cartoons, and the like, pictures of an old style Laboratory
coat (white, high collar, has a flap front that closes with buttons on the
shoulder - tends to be slightly fitted).
Sounds like you're thinking about what I think of as a chef's jacket
I'd be downright shocked if the American Memory collection at the Library of
Congress didn't have some pictures of doctors/scientists in the 1920s:

It's not quite a chef's jacket. Those tend to have two rows of buttons.
what I think of as the classic has one row, roughly along the nipple
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

Oh, *that* jacket! I don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh. I'd

I think you're referring to a coat with a standing color, buttons across one
shoulder, and then down the side of the chest, right?
For the long-sleeved version (also long in length), try an image search for

Went to http://memory.loc.gov , searched for the word dentist.
The last picture on page 4 of the results has something really close.
