The Daily Mail has a nice pic on their online version of the story, most other sources seem to be using the same single standard image.

Seems to continue the modern trend for more understated clothing for the Doc, derived generally from the middle of the last century (9th Doc, 30s/40s jacket; 10th Doc vaguely 40s-ish; 11 Doc kind of like a 1950s academic).

Were it not for the bow tie, you could walk down the average British street dressed like this and not attract a second glance. Maybe that’s taking “understated” TOO far?

I suppose making him a “hoody” was out of the question then? Or maybe the headlines – ‘WHO-DY’ would have written themselves..

“Leather patches on a tweed coat – is that the best you can do?”

I thought it was a bit similar to the previous incumbent at first, but it looks Doctorish enough.

I’m quite impressed really – looks very retro, along with the redesigned TARDIS box. I was surprised by the leather elbow patches though!
