Old Hollywood "Mad Scientist" type gown / coat

[Edward]

Folks, I'm trying to find something along these lines, preferable in the UK, for a costume event next month:

Don't seem to be having much luck with this one.... Just a traditional, old school mad scientist surgical gown in white with the button fastening on the front. Any ideas where I could get one, fast? The only palce I've found so far (where I turned up this one) seems to be trade only.

Howie lab coat

This one has press studs, rather than buttons-

But you could always sew buttons on top!

You need large, black rubber gloves and black goggles.

Thanks, BT, much appreciated.... oddly enough, the gloves etc were dead easy to find, it's the coat was the hard part... Eventually, I'll have a button-up one custom made, but this is great for now. Thanks again.

"...oddly enough" is meaningless, coming from you, Edward.

When I was sitting at home studying of a Saturday night back in my student days, my parents used to tell me I'd turn out "odd". Sometimes I wish I'd listened.... lol

You could try & find a coat like this one that Dr. Steel has.

These gloves too.

I think they are more of a vinal instead of a cloth though.

Cheers!

You could rip it off of this 6 foot tall Halloween mannequin: http://buyinflatables.com/GEM-prodimages/G-27730.jpg

Several orders placed.... I'll post photos here when the completed outfit arrives...

I need to get the poppers replaced with buttons, but pretty pleased with the look otherwise.

Good one!

Reminds me of this bloke.

Costumes on the cheap.

If you guys want something like that in the future, you can always go to a fabric store and enquire. Cloth for that outfit, (cheap cotton) would cost maybe a few dollars a yard, probably $20 bucks or so total, and choose froom a great selection of buttons.

Fabric stores always have many different seamstresses that work from home, that could make something like this for you. They work a hell of a lot cheaper than tailors. And usualy they're quality is extremly decent.

Edward very "Mad" indeed. Good job putting that all together. :eusa_clap

Cheers!
