It’s too bad most lab coats are at least 50% polyester. They are definitely still tie-dyeable at even just 35% cotton but it’ll come out pastel.

I call that "office friendly."

i love making garments meant to be worn during potentially flammable activities out of materials that are basically just solid fuel, very cool

I tried it and the lab coat is slightly colored now, but the tie-dye pattern didn't really show up.

Uh, so in my lab the have to be 100 percent cotton. Because of flammability.

Oh dang, lucky! (If tie dye is your thing, that is.)

In high school, one of my science teachers had a tie-dyed lab coat.
