For me it looks as if in the 19th century and earlier "scientists" and "doctors" just wore normal every-day dresses, i.e. real lab coats just were not invented. And at that time black was usual for suits and frock coats (an at this time fashionable dress for males). And hygiene unknown. Pasteur and Lister came a bit later.
Here a NYT article on white doctor coats with a picture from 1950s.
The wikipedia article is not bad too.
And a good other article
with this picture:

"Late 19th century surgery, done according to Lister's methods. There's a carbolic acid sprayer on the stool, but the surgeons are still wearing street clothing."
Thats some nice information.
Always nice to learn something about the past of science...

and this photo (taken from one of the articles above) is a 19th century surgeon's frock coat (probably never washed but at least they still wore something over their street clothes):
HERE's another perspective.....
I think I am gonna get me a coat like that to go to the lab...
and don't forget the shades....
Yes, the shades are indeed needed to finish the look
and I guess there arent good enough?
