Twelfth Doctor's costume revealed

[pokerfan]

Commenting on his costume, Capaldi said: He's woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.

Lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat added: New Doctor, new era, and of course new clothes. Monsters of the universe, the vacation is over - Capaldi is suited and booted and coming to get you!

Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One, commented: Peter Capaldi's Doctor is officially recorded in history today with the unveiling of his new costume. It's sharp, smart and stylish - The Twelfth Time Lord means business.

I really like that costume. I haven't been psyched about a costume since Christopher Eccleston's Doctor's costume. It was different. This is different, but in a good way. Simple, yet effective. It's not over the top and goofy like the last two incarnations of the Doctor.

2. It reminds me of something.

3. Who the hell buttons the top button only on a coat?

6. Buttoning only the top button is cool!

Where is the fez, that's what I want to know!

7. LOL, love the fez. I can't say I'm sad to see the bow tie go

reminded me of Tucker Carlson.

I do like this new costume. I think it's very sleek. And I know a lot of people that only button the top button...it IS cool, darnit!

8. I wonder if there is going to be a fashion revival for mens' clothing.

At the end of "Skyfall", Bond was depicted wearing a suit coat with a much longer skirt than is currently popular. Put that together with the new Doctor's coat, and it makes me wonder if the frock coat is going to make a comeback.

That's be kind of cool. Although the frock coat symbolizes the ultra-conservative Victorian Era, it would make a stylish addition to the revival of the skinny-jeans, skinny-suits Mod look from the '60's that we're seeing these days.

9. Shoes are too damned shiny

nobody that's ever done a day in the Tardis would have shoes that shine like that.

Is this guy a Time Lord or a Ferragamo model?

There, had to get some criticism out of my system before he shows up.

Yes, it's on facebook. But they're worth looking at. Some of the pictures shows Capaldi working in his new costume.
