Doctor Who Matt Smith Purple Frock Coat fabric options

[Cap Fitzgerald]

I could be wrong, but I remember seeing a picture of Smith saluting when they were filming him hanging off the tardis (before he went up) and you could see a sort of cut off in the lining under his arm. I thought it might be for a pocket but the whole inside is sort of exposed and the lining doesn't show up again. I'll try and find it, just a mo

Zoom in on his left side, and you can see the purple lining just stops at his waist basically

Just looks like the self-wool facing stops at the waist and the normal lining (satin, perhaps) continues on to the bottom. Someone really needs to show the Doctor how to salute... that looks ridiculous.

It's just a frock coat. On a modern coat, the lapel facing fabric would run all the way to the bottom, but on a frock coat it stops at the waist seam and the lining goes to the bottom. It makes it lighter at the bottom, less rigid.

The only weird thing about this coat is the lack of buttons. Everything else is completely run of the mill for that style. Well, and the inside pockets aren't set into the seam, but appear to be giant Troughton-esque patch pockets.

Yeah. You're seeing the facing, not a naked interior.

Do you have any reference images that show this? I'd like to see it before I start cutting Modernboy's frock.

I think it was in a promo video that came out around Bells. He's messing with the sonic and you can see it when he raises his arm and then puts away the sonic.

Is it this one?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

I just got about 100 yards of this tweed so we're ready to start on one... any takers?

 

[lorddick19]

i would love one

 

[thorneyboy]

Count me in

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Price would be $795 (shipped). Shoot me an e-mail or PM if you'd like to order.

 

[dooley23]

I would like one but i dont have the $$$. But do u have the link where u found the right fabric?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

This was sourced from our fabric buyer in Thailand... from Hong Kong, I believe. If you want, we could sell just the fabric for around $40-60 a yard depending on how many yards you want.

 

[dooley23]

O i was just wondering for future reference.

 

[randommann]

Hey Indy Whats your turn around on the coat? I would be very interested!

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Four to six weeks...

 

[randommann]

wonderful! can i sign up for one of these bad boys?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Until these are added to our website, you can me an e-mail to place your order.

 

[jamesmccue]

Sounds like this is going to be awesome

I'm really tempted to order one for my wedding in November. I suppose it's too early in the process for you to have any pics?

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Yeah, probably won't have pics until late August/Early Sep.

 

[jamesmccue]

No worries, my wedding is 1st nov so I guess I would still have enough time for a look at the pics before ordering early September in time for nov 1st. Have you ever had any orders run over the 6 week mark?

In fact, could i be super cheeky and ask if you could post a hi def pic of your fabric? I'm nearly ready to commit to the order but can't quite gauge how the fabric looks in detail. No probs if not bud.

Cheers Indy
