Hello all, long time lurker first time poster here. I am currently trying to throw together the best 10th doctor costume I can without breaking the bank- as with all here I suppose. I've got the 50th anniversary tie, a decent blue suit tie, both pairs of converse, sonic, etc. But I lack the center piece-the suit. So, my question is where can I get an accurate suit without killing my wallet?
From what I know my options for fabric are
Brown
Magnoli
Baron
Primrodo (unavailable)
Jo-Ann's Potting (unavailable)
Blue
Magnoli
Baron
Then my options for tailoring are
Magnoli
Baron
Someone I know
So, all you veteran RPFers- which fabrics are the best? Who does the best tailoring? Can you give me as much detail as possible? Is it even worth it to try to buy an Ebay replica?
I thought the Magnoli brown pictured on the model was a bit off but on the mannequin it looked pretty much spot on.
Similarly, I thought the Magnoli custom rust pinstripes on teal looked really bright on the model, but really good on the mannequin (maybe a tad darker would be better).
As for Baron, the brown looks pretty good but the blue looked really strange too me. The pinstripes were very noticeable and almost made the suit look purply.
So. Thoughts? What is the best option? Discuss
Thanks!
