Dr. Horrible’s lab coat has been found!
It seems everyone has been searching high and low for the perfect Dr. Horrible Costume. The hardest thing for people to find has been a replica of Dr. Horrible’s Lab Coat. There are all kinds of lab coats available, but nothing that looks exactly right.
Fortunately, Irongate Gallery has produced an exact replica, available for sale on their website. For around $100, you can order a custom lab coat that includes the goggles and the caduceus (logo) sewn into the front pocket. Check it out!
Irongate Gallery is a costume shop that specializes in hand-tailored reproductions and original costumes for all occasions. Very cool!
I’ve edited our original post on “How to Make a Dr. Horrible Costume” as well. That post gets a ton of hits as the world searches for the perfect Dr. Horrible costume.
It’s so great to finally be able to get an authentic Dr. Horrible lab coat. Thanks, Irongate Gallery!
Edit 11/05/08: Shadow Dale Creations now also offers an authentic Dr. Horrible lab coat for $200. Available in white or red.

Hi, I just looked at their site and they don’t even have a phone number listed anywhere on their site to contact them at. They have an email, but email addresses can work or not work. Also, I can’t find them on Yellowpages.com or Whitepages.com. Some of the links on their site don’t work and there are many grammar errors. I was wondering how reputable this company is? I would hate to pay over $100 on a costume and never receive it. Do you know how well communication goes with this company? Any information would be appreciated.

Those are valid concerns, JustWondering. I just pretended to buy a Joker costume and the next page with the Google Checkout had this contact info:
Irongate Gallery, 864 344-0497, 222 West Cambridge Ave. #1, Greenwood, SC 29646 US
Unfortunately, it looks like their Dr. Horrible costume is sold out due to the Halloween rush. Anyway, hope that helps.

Okay, thanks for that additional information.
I also emailed them to ask if they still made some of the costumes that don’t have working links. They were prompt to reply. They said those links are actually placeholders because they haven’t officially started working on those particular costumes yet. They probably won’t start work on some of that until after Halloween because they are busy right now with trying to get orders shipped before the holiday.
Just thought I’d add that as well in case anyone else is wondering about the links that don’t work yet.

There is a website out of Canada that makes Howie coats and will ship them to the USA with no shipping cost: http://uniformsbyrayhiggins.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=131&category=12
It isn’t exact, but it is pretty darn close.

I noticed that the Irongate version only has an iron on transfer for the caduseus (and the wrong buttons). I just finished a prototype of the pocket embroidery for my own version. Check it out…
