Hello, fellow Whovians!
So after finding out that Peter Capaldi, the Doctor himself, would be filming on location on Monday, I decided to bite the bullet and take another trip down to Cardiff!
As before, no spoilers, but here are some pictures of the filming!
Peter, being the kind person he is, after doing some scenes, came up to fans and started signing and doing photos. This gave me a chance to get up-close photos of his new Black velvet coat!
I’ll start with the not so obvious. This coat is cut way differently to the previous coats we’ve had. Based on the length, and back construction, it is in fact a frock coat! From the pictures you can see how beautiful made the back of this coat is.
As it is a frock coat, you have a similar construction to Matt Smith’s series 7B frock coat! So that means it has wonderful princess seams, and on Peter’s coat, those seams even line up with the sleeve seam!
There are also pleats on each side of the lower back, and, unusually, no back vent overlap!
Again, similar to Matt Smith’s frock coat, the front facing only extends downward to the waist seam.
It also has A LOT of flare!
The buttons are also quite unusual, and I’m already on the hunt for them!
I must say, though I did not like this coat initially, I am liking it even more after seeing it i person. I look forward to seeing it onscreen!
Oh, and obviously i had to get a photo with Peter himself! :-)
Thanks here goes to Alex Beard, my consultant tailor who helped with the technical terms! His knowledge of tailoring and the 10 Doctor suits is unmatched! Check out his websites, badwolfcostumes.com and 10thdoctorsuit.blogspot.com for more exciting stuff!
