12th Doctor Costume?

[DWF]

Yes, we should be getting some clara-fication on his outfit pretty soon now.

 

[Green Lantern]

I hope so! I can't wait much longer!

Hmm, "film noir" is usually associated with the 1940s. Then again, men's fashion didn't vary that greatly. The shirt collars were taller and tighter and the suits a bit more trim. Suits of the 40s were a bit looser.

Here's a Google link for 20s fashion for men.

Thing is, David Tennant's ensemble pretty well straddled those decades, both with his pinstripe suit and his trenchcoat (though it was longer than the norm for that era). About the only thing he lacked was a fedora. Oh, I'm sure Capaldi would look quite dashing in such a wardrobe, but general audiences would think the costume department was repeating itself.

Sincerely,

I think it could work, I thought DT’s look seemed to straddle 40s/70s IMO. The suit is more spiv than PI though, and the trench coat always looked more 70s to me, so I still think there is the option to go for a more traditional 1940’s look, not that I’d want them to go there.

I fear we may get another Victorian/Edwardian look, but to be honest I’d prefer that to him just being a man in a suit. Hopefully whatever the look it will suit (sorry) his Doctor the way 9/10/11’s looks suited them.

I called Smith’s look way in advance, Capaldi’s doesn’t leap out at me so much, aside from the thing I said earlier, a fancy suit with a grungy T-shirt under it rather than a shirt/tie.

I will be amazed if he has a tie, and/or a hat.

 

[DWF]

I'm hoping for another Edwardian look, something to make him standout rather than normal looking clothes that allow him to fit in.

 

[Sindatur]

I'd like to see him do a fake out and make people think he's going to wear a Colin Baker-like awful coat, and then after a few heads explode, put on his real outfit

The Frilly Pertwee-style clothes could be great for him​

 

[Green Lantern]

Personally, I want the Edwardian/Victorian look again, but closer to McGann than Hartnel. However, I also want a big black gothic coat. I just want a gothic doctor at last. :P

But being realistic, I have the feeling Capaldi might be the first doctor with "top button swag". That could be the modern twist the BBC are talking about!

We should have a costume reveal in the next few days. Filming begins next week (on Monday, I've heard), and the BBC will want to get ahead of the location filming spoilerhounds.

Tom Spillsbury (editor of DWM) has confirmed Peter definitely isn't shooting today, and we might have to wait a while before we see him in costume. But he also said that DWM comes out next week...

Well as mentioned, he will probably be in smith's costume for while during the first episode, depends on what scenes there shooting first. If there outdoor scenes someone will take a pic. Im sure before that happens the BBC will send out some press shots of him in his new costume. So i would guess we will know by the end of January if not sooner.

 

[Samurai8472]

According to some tweets, episode one is being filmed first, Peter Capaldi will still be wearing Matt's outfit, and the Clockwork droids from "Girl In The Fireplace" are back

ooh their filming episode 1 first! They're bucking the trend

Minus the bow tie, of course.

Well with Smith I seem to recall the first sight we got of him was on location with Karen, I'm pretty sure we got a proper publicity shot of Tennant though.

I think it's interesting that they deliberately seemed to do that. Essentially, only Matt Smith could be the bowtie Doctor. Although there was something symbolic about the bowtie hitting the floor as well.

 

[Starkers]

Well Matt isn't the only Doctor to wear a bowtie. Seemed to just be a metaphor for change, much like Five unrevelling Four's scarf.

First official picture from the filming. No costume picture yet.

Except they are in costumes, just not new costumes...

 

[Saul]

New hairstyle too.

Clockwork droids? Cool!

 

[Lonemagpie]

He seems happy enough to be at work on the first day of the new job...

If people only knew how much this guy LOVED the show when he was younger you'd understand his smile.

This is like a dream come true for him

He has been a fan since the very beggining, meaning he saw the Hartnell and Troughton episodes that are still missing.

He tried to sieze control over the Doctor Who fanclub throughout the early 1970s.

Decided to make a fanclub by himself, which was joined only by two people. And one of said people was his brother. The other was some guy who sent 20 pence to join.

Annoyed the hell out of DWM and BBC up until the mid-1980s.*

Went through a punk phase, formed a band, wrote lyrics influenced by Doctor Who and dropped acid with bandmate Craig Ferguson.*

Got into acting for the sake of becoming the Doctor.
Has been auditioning repeteadly since the 1980s to get the role. So far, he lost again McCoy, McGann, Eccleston, Tennant and Smith.

Almost left acting altogether back in 2005, as he felt his roles weren't good enough and if it was not for him ranting to Armando Ianucci (producer of The Thick of It/In The Loop) during a dinner in Armando's house which was recorded, he wouldn't have landed the role.*

Went against Hugh Laurie to play House. Lost.*

Built a Dalek for a school project at 15.

Damn, if nothing else, he's persistent.

Honestly, I'm glad Hugh Laurie won it. He was amazing in that role.

Samurai8472, what's you're source for the above facts? Not that I don't trust you, but I always question sources.
