I'm trying to look for a brown trench coat just like the 10th Doctor in the UK.

I can't find a single one :(

I never would have thought a trech coat would be so hard to find. A brown "10th Doctor" type is almost impossible.

It looks so cool and I'm with out a winter coat after my last one fell appart after many years and I'm basically in love with that one.

Any help please?

Thanks. But that ebay one is a little too "open all hours" rather than geek chic :(

More spiv than Ronnie Barker. That's what camel-coloured coats are, though.

Couldn't see anything with wider lapels, but Google's fairly rubbish for narrowing down clothing because of the generic words and different descriptions used.

Have you tried emailing the Beeb?

They don't know how to get one.

Apparently, bar the trainers, it was created from scratch. I assume it was created from cotton or wool, needles,buttons and a few other threads as well:glance:

The inside lining is apparently what they stuff in sofa's. You could allways start a torrid affair with the costume designer to make her/him nick you one.

On the other hand, I've seen photo's of peeps at conventions in tenth Doctor outfits so they must be avaliable somewhere.

If all else fails and you still want to look like David Tennant, why not kidnap Billie Pipper and have her follow you everywhere?

That's not a bad idea -- ask in costume and fancy dress shops.

Me too. I think that's the one I've settled on. It's lovely, long and cheeper than all the other ones I've found and they aren't as good anyway. Perfect for Autumn.

Plus Doctor Who fans arew damn scary people.


Oddly enough someone suggested that black coat as part of a 8th Doctor costume in a thread about if he should have a new outfit in the audio's...
