I'm fairly sure that Forresters labcoats were custom made. The seams look machined, but not mass produced, nd the fabric appears quite light. Your best bet may be to get a 100% cotton one (not a polycotton blend) and use a bright green dye on it (remember to swap out the buttons, too!). I made these up a while back - get some t-shirt iron-on paper, apply to some white fabric & then glue or stitch to pocket:   Videotape label (as seen in Laserblast ep):   C. |

I do remember someone here making a Dr. F get-up for Halloween... I remember Katie did. I think there was a thread with quite a bit of info on how she did it, but I can't remember where it was. |

Think that was in General Chat but probably a number of pages back. If anyone who isn't as lazy as me wants to look I'm sure they'll find it!

I recall that someone that won one of Dr F's lab coats on eBay posted the information that was on the tag inside the collar. I think it said who the manufacturer was and they said it was a white lab coat dyed green (as mentioned above). I'll try to see if I saved the info, but I would think any similar lab coat would work just fine.

My sister's a cosplayer, and she says that since Dr. F's hair is "springy", the streak itself isn't Opaque, so you wouldn't need an Opaque Streak. She recommends regular colored hairspray from a party store, or possibly hair chalk.

Good job,fozziecub! Did you spank your monkey? Jeezus, man... I was hoping so desperately that you wouldn't drop that gag. "You might want to make a 'Smoke On The Water' joke here, but I urge you to refrain."--Michael J. Nelson, Experiment 912 |
