Cheap Lab Coat (for use in chem labs)

[Schmackledorf]

I realize this might be a somewhat unusual request, but I'm looking for a cheap lab coat that still protects me fairly well so I can use it in my upper-level chemistry labs at college. For starters, I've never used a lab coat before, so I don't know what constitutes a decent one, and I also don't know what constitutes an inexpensive one. I need a lab coat that at least covers my arms and torso, but would like it if it also covered my jeans to some degree as well. Thanks a lot for anyone's help with this!

Have you tried ebay?

Definitely do not buy at your school store as it will almost always be more expensive. I think my school sells them for $30-40.
Also make sure it fits the requirements of your lab class. My school requires that the coat must be knee-length and white in color for certain classes. Other lab classes require that you have a blue one and that knee length does not matter. So just make sure you know what you are looking for exactly.
