The
self-explanatory full front shot
Every pattern element is faithfully reproduced and exactly positioned,
right down to stitching and joint types. The quality of
workmanship is truly second to none. |
|
The
equally self explanatory full back shot
Every panel on this detailed jacket's back is accurate to the
originals. Tip for the Enthusiast - There's two buttons
on the belt. The Doctor's right button is missing, as
shown here. Feel free to remove yours too of course, but
your jacket will arrive in original mint condition with both
buttons. |

Gratuitous

No description required. Work of art. :-) |

Number
label
Every jacket made is numbered. There's one of the labels.
It reads "DW2005 #XXX" and matches the accompanying
certificate. Obviously anybody can print up a certificate
these days, so these sequential labels rather nicely uniquely
identify every one made. There's two other labels; one
is the tailor's required "made in London, England"
and specialist leather identifier and the other is of course
the Bad Wolf label - vintage styled so as not to spoil the look. |

Joints
and Stitching
This section of the back is a great example of how the several
different styles of joint on the original have all been faithfully
reproduced for EVERY joint on the jacket. No mistakes
and expert construction. |

Carefully
chosen leather
The leather used took some considerable effort to find, and
a lot of trial and error. This was such a critical factor
that it had to be Just Right. The hide used behaves perfectly
- it looks, folds, bags and drapes the same as The Doctor's
on screen (we'll get a video on here at some point), and in
the real world it feels terrific as an obviously top drawer
leather jacket. Some of you might consider this an overboard
level of replication effort, but honestly, there really is no
point in doing something like this unless it's done RIGHT!
And trust me on this - the numerous cheaper leathers we tried
along the road you would NOT have been happy with. |

Inside
and out...
Even the bits you may not see too often are copied accurately
and with the best materials. The sleeves are lined with
a different material to the main body, as per the original.
The vintage style lining may be seen occasionally, and that's
why we even got that right for you too. The material is
properly intended for use as a sleeve lining for jackets, so
it does as it's supposed to and lets you get your arm in and
out without dragging your shirt sleeves up around your elbows. |
|
...yep, even the pockets.
Very pleased with the pocket lining
too. Soft but resilient and again accurate to the originals'
military origins. In real life this means cosy hands and
unscratched cellphone screens. That's lucky, eh? |
