I believe they were self fabric covered. That's what my eyes tell me.
I couldn't get my hands on a kit on time to finish my costume so I resorted to use color coordinated buttons.

Some friends were doing a cosplay photo shoot so I decided to break out the Eighth Doctor gear. The waistcoast is still a placeholder while the final one is being worked on, but it still fits the part.

Been looking to put together an 8th costume. We are going to hit TimeGate next year and the whole family is Whoving out for it.

Thanks! It's a 36 but the cut is a bit weird. I don't know how to describe it, the sleeves are enormous in terms of arm room (Is that what you would call it?) and it's a bit baggy somehow ( I normally wear a 38) but I think with a bit of tailoring this could be perfect. (I can't sew to save my life so this was a godsend)

It's very nice. I need one a bit bigger, or I need to slim down.
preferably the latter.

Fantastic. I hope to get the chance to meet him one day. Maybe he'll be the Doctor they bring to the New York Comic Con this year (there always seems to be one).

Call me a stickler, but has anyone looked into the undershirt? The collar seems so small compared to your average dress shirt, so I've been wondering if it actually is a tuxedo shirt like his original costume. I don't own one to compare it with and I've never seen one unbuttoned so it's hard, IMO, to tell. In either case I've got a nice version of this costume going so if anyone needs more help finding parts, look for "Puttees" when you do your searches for gaiters, mine are PERFECT, but I found them specifically listed under that title. I also bought a buckle separate from an actual belt, so does anyone know the TYPE of belt I'd need to fasten it too? When looking for an actual name for it, most sites just call it a "insert name of buckle here" belt.
