I wouldn’t buy it from any website that doesn’t show pictures of their finished product. Here are some choices:
AbbyShot (no price yet, likely over 300 Canadian Dollars)
Being an official replica this would be good quality and the most accurate route, however it is more expensive and will not be available until sometime next year. Personally I’m going to wait for this one.

iTailor (£99)
Very close although the lining doesn’t go right the way to the edge, would ideally need to be relined. It is apparently a good quality coat though that can be used daily.

If you want an iTailor one here is a guide I posted on Gallifrey Base a few days ago to get it as close to Capaldi’s coat as possible:
Fabric: Navy
Style: 3 button
Lapel: Notch lapel
Bottom: Straight
Pocket: Side pocket (also tick the no breast pocket option above)
Sleeve Button: 5 working buttons
Vent: Centre vent
Overcoat contrast: None
Lining: Maroon lining and piping
Button hole thread: Navy buttons and thread
Monogram: Optional
As for the sizing that’s down to you. Note though that Capaldi’s coat is quite fitted and is not very long, more like a jacket than an overcoat. It might be best to pick the slim fit option in the measurements for the most accurate fit. Also the sleeves are short enough to show a bit of shirt cuff like on a jacket so remember to take that into account.
Also, although the option for a lapel buttonhole is not available on the virtual designer they will apparently add it for no extra charge if you specially ask them to do it. Typical turnaround time seems to be 4 to 6 weeks.
Point of interest, iTailor’s display of navy on the virtual coat buttons and thread is far too light and will actually be a true navy colour on the real thing. If you want to see pictures of a real example the guy in the link below uses an iTailor coat for his cosplay:
