so there it is the 13th Doctors costume
Bit boring isnt it ,to me it is identical to Matts that he regenerated into but all in black ,and i do like doc martins so ill say ok to that new shiny boot but those pants are a bit wierd tight at the ankle wide at thigh big nappy baggy style at crotch and ass its a bit ” cant touch this”, hammer style, first impression it looks like some sort of magicians outfit,isn’t this what collin wanted?
It is some are suggesting akin to pertwees first costume,er no, well ok his was all black’ ish lot of blue in that jacket but his was different material velvet/ satin /cotton etc with the frills a striking cape and velvet smoking jacket with frog closures rolled collar braiding on the cuff accessories including leather gloves and tardis key lifting the costume way above the ordinary and giving it a real sense of style
this is what there referencing to
Now with red lining in Peters coat it bears a resemblance and Peter is a confessed Jon Pertwee fan having wrote to the program and been a avid fan at that time so guess where the idea came from and good on him
but its not,
i don’t think personally it is the all black nature of it i think it is just so plain in its materials or lack of , there’s no detail or texture or variance that’s missing if there was a black silk chord trim to the lapel or a black velvet waistcoat a silk stripe down the outer seem of the trousers something to lift it or even a gold Albert chain with watch and key on it a or a sense of it being his something about it off cuff ,its a little plain uniform at the moment
sounds like i am being hyper critical im not ,we have had a LOT worse ,Sixth and Ninth Doctors costumes ,7th Dr’s xmas jumper covered in ???? ,That ruined a otherwise good look and only JNT liked and wanted and was soon dispatched with in comics books audio TV Movie (just about Everyone)
this is of course coming from the team that gave Dr 8 his new suit
that’s got a sense of style a traveler something old ,how do you go from being able to deliver this from nothing just whats available for a days filming to a very boring set for the 13th Doctor ?
Good news the Doctor does now change his clothes like in the seventies so this is it for now for a year maybe longer but there’s another to be had when the actor wants to strike a new look and gets bored
main plus point ,a pretty simple custom to make just a very uninspiring one to do
