About this deal
Just spent literally all my money at LFCC and will be living out of my overdraft for the foreseeable. Eccleston doesn’t wear a jacket underneath the coat, opting only for a thin jumper, hence it looks looser on him than a jacket would. Although it’s possible to weather leather with abrasion and other techniques it’s incredibly difficult to make it look realistic as it’ll lack the wrinkling and other details that can only really be created with actual heavy use. It is actually superior to the original lining in a couple of ways, firstly the wool on my dyed lining is higher quality.
At first glance the coat looks to be very much the same as the previous coats aside from the material, it even has the red cuff button. This 10th doctor coat has been inspired by all-time favorite BBC drama series “Doctor Who” in which David Tennant played the fictional character of Tenth Doctor in four popular series and was spotted donning this classy outwear. In addition to the military additions such as the buttons and shoulder straps to denote rank, the yoke is positioned lower down and the rear is constructed differently with a central vertical seam. Some replicas which are actually made with pre-patinated leather end up looking very artificial as the hide is distressed prior to making the jacket rather than forming naturally in the areas of higher wear. Black 7/8 inch wide rim buttons (apparently Bakelite) are used on the front, cuffs, and under the lapels (making 10 of these used in total), on the back is a single 1 inch thin rim plastic button on the wearer's left side (right side button is missing).
Back in 2013 as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, Topps Cards in the US released a number of special costume cards. The inter-chevron angle is acute and the horizontal pattern repeat is approximately 2 inches (so 1 inch per “stripe”). Featuring the classic trench-coat style made famous in the series, this camel brown coat is full-length and ready for all of your adventures through time and space.
Pig Slaves wore this costume in the fourth episode of the third season, titled “Daleks in Manhattan.Although these are both fictional characters, their outfits are pretty normal European civilian clothes of the era, save for all the guns and equipment they’ve strapped on top.
