The Howie lab coat is named after the Howie style, which originated from the guidelines set by the UK Department of Health in the 1970s. This design includes a closed neck, long sleeves with elasticated cuffs, and a secure front closure, typically using snaps or buttons, to provide better protection against hazardous materials in laboratory and clinical settings. It was developed to enhance safety by minimizing the exposure of the wearer's skin and clothing to contaminants.
