Tales of The Coat
By now I’m sure that you are all aware of my obsession with…er, that is to say…*interest* in the Ninth Doctor’s Coat. Well, over the weekend a couple of interesting things came to light thanks to kind commenter JD. It seems that the reason that The Coat was removed from the Bonhams Auction was that is was not, in fact, The Doctor’s coat. If you take a look at it you will notice that the coat in question is *single-breasted* whereas The Doctor’s coat is *double-breasted*. So, I wonder who is missing a coat? And speaking of The Coat, and again thanks to JD, I offer you TheBadWolf.com, which offers the most authentic and well researched replica of said coat. For the record, The Original Coat is black, but it is so worn as to appear brown in certain lighting. TheBadWolf.com offers the coat in both brown and black to keep folks happy, though. It is available in different sizes, and they ask for extra measurements to get the fit just right. *thud* I’m five feet tall…I wonder if they could do one my size. (Maybe next year when I’ve managed to save up enough money. Or sooner if the exchange rate improves.) Thanks for all of the info, JD!
