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 apparently the other essential costuming accessory for
chemists (and probably mad scientists)--badly stained hands.

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.
