My Full Review of the Baron Boutique David Tennant Suit - Lots of pics

The cuffs of the sleeves measure 13 inches. My wrists are roughly 7. That leaves a lot of extra room.
 
My tailor wanted $125 per jacket to take in and shorten the sleeves and fix the flare at the bottom back of the jacket. She used to quote me great prices, but the last few haven't been so good. I'm pretty sure I've gone through all of the tailors in Long Beach, though, so I guess I'm stuck. At least she knows how to sew.
 
Actually, the drive up to LA is one of my least favorite things, and my car doesn't care for it either. :lol If I ever really need to find somebody new I might change my mind, though.
 
Hi there. Great photos of your Baron's suit, it looks fantastic. :)

I've been thinking about dressing up as the Doctor for NY Comic Con this year, and have been trying to decide how to go about getting a suit. After reading this thread, I think I've decided on getting the fabric from Magnoli and sending it to Baron's for tailoring. The thing is, I'm a girl, so I'm a little concerned about how the suit would fit me. Jedi, since you own a Baron's suit and know how it fits, I was just wondering if you might have any insight on this?
 
Well, I'm a guy, so I don't know how well I'd be able to make that assessment, but I can say to simply email them, let them know you're a girl and you'd like the suit altered for a more female form... They'd want different measurements, but I'm sure they'd be willing to accommodate you.

It might be possible to send one of your own suits to them and have them copy the fit. I know that Magnoli offers that service.
 
Hey I'm thinking about getting a baron suit and was wondering if you have had any problems with the silkscreen pinstripes flaking like a t-shirt or of there holding up pretty good?
 
I have the blue Baron suit. I absolutely love it. The cut and fit are amazing! The only complaint I have is that I feel the red silk screened stripes stand out a little too much from the blue. There are a lot of scenes and pics in Doctor Who where I wouldn't even know there were red stripes on the suit unless I knew beforehand, and with the baron fabric there is no mistaking that at any distance. Definately would recomend ordering the re-weave fabric and sending it to Baron for the tailoring.
 
Wish i could afford the re-weave. I'm probably going for the brown though and from what I've seen in peoples pictures it looks good.
 
I'm interested in getting a suit from Baron, but I think I read a review a while ago that the brown suit fabric is actually a dark shade of blue or something? Am I wrong? Is it an accurate brown now?
 
No, i think you mean one of their older fabrics which was nearly black (see TennantSuit.blogspot - Comparing fabrics for more details). The brown is the same as shown in the pictures in the review at the start of this thread.

Yeah, what Bromie said. It's a very nice brown and no mistake about it.
 
I'm still on the fence about buying this suit...I still have to decide on a Scream robe purchase, but I can wear the suit more often (duh) so its a no brainer which to spend my money on.
Can you order the reweave fabric from Magnoli's site??
 
Hello I was wanting to order the fabric from
Magnoli an send it to
Baron but magnoli has raised the price to 60 a yard should I just buy the baron suit? Is there any way to make the pinstripes darker
Any help is appreciated
 
Im seriously considering buying this (mostly becuase your review sold me on the excellent quality) but one thing that your review doesn't show is the fit.

Does anyone have any photos of people wearing it?

Here's a quick picture of me wearing it at work. I just now took it with my phone, so please excuse the quality.
The tie, if you're interested, is the Swirly Tie that Magnoli offers.
