Doctor Who - Lie of the Land (and a bit of Extremis)

So I'm looking to get the coat worn by the Twelfth Doctor in the Series 10 episodes "Lie of the Land" and the flashback sequences in "Extremis" in the far future. For those who don't know what this looks like, here it is:

The coat has a similar front style to his usual coat, but the back has almost like a frock coat structure. It is made of a distressed grey linen with what I believe is a black lining, and the buttons are unique as well. Any tips on where to get something like this would be helpful.

Also, there's something I noticed about his shirt in this episode - especially where the bottom of the waistcoat splits. I have no idea whether it's the bottom of the shirt or if the trouser waistband is higher than the belt, but just above the belt buckle, the material appears to be black. The above picture shows it clearly, but here's another picture to illustrate:

If anybody can clear this little mystery up, that would be extremely helpful as well :) Thanks guys!
 
coat was custom made, by costume designer like all others, fabric is out there but i can't say unfortunatley, as for the black thing no one knows what it is.
 
I thought as much with the coat, but it's a shame about the black material. That's going to bug me for ages now XD

Does anyone know if anyone offers a decent replica or is working towards one?

Do you have any photos of the back of his coat?

This is the only photo I can get of the back of the coat at the moment - taken from the Doctor Who YouTube channel

I can't seem to identify if the coat has exterior pockets or not. Can anyone confirm this?

So, after close inspection of the first picture, I have come to the conclusion that this coat does not have any exterior pockets. Interior pockets, however, are unknown.

I also found this picture which confirms the presence of the black lining - it's still unknown to me whether the lining extends to the edge of the coat like his previous coats or not:

Update time - this coat reappeared in the latest episode, "World Enough and Time" in the kitchen scene near the beginning of the episode:

There are a couple of shots which nicely sow off the lack of exterior pockets, and also the seams at the back of the coat which, if I'm not mistaken, are very similar to a frock coat.
