A mature search for style. Fashion and menswear for all men.

Getting the new Dr Who look - Timeless style?

Tuesday, 28 January 2014

So Peter Capaldi's new Dr Who is apparently ditching the tweed and woolly scarves and going for a mod-style red silk-lined navy Crombie with dark blue trousers, white shirt (buttoned at collar, of course), navy waistcoat and black Doc Martens (maybe more skinhead than mod?). As an honorary member of the Grey Fox Club, an older man of style, Capaldi gets our approval. He'll help the gradual rediscovery of the powerful grey pound by the fashion industry. [Edit - since posting this the BBC has changed its description of the shoes to 'sturdy black shoes'. I'm told that those in the image below are Loake, not Doc Martens. I already had a photo of Loake boots below.]

Will we be seeing many Dr Who lookalikes on our streets? Here's how you can be one too.

The main feature is the red lined Crombie - a coat much favoured by everyone from City gents to skinheads and mods. It's interesting how a former symbol of capitalist power can also have been adopted by rebel youth movements and, of course, rebel time lords.
