Two breakdown.

[wulfae]

Having been introduced to the series when I was but a tiny tot watching them in black and white on PBS, I guess I've always known about Doctor Who. Wasn't much of a fan until the new series came out, where all the hints about the history of the Doctor made me determined to see all the other episodes.

Happy to be the first to comment what a fantastic breakdown this is! So glad you finally got around to it with Van's help to fill in the breakdown gap. Very thorough and informative- a great help to me since I know one of these days I'd like to put together a Two for the collection.

The only points I'd add is that the morning frock he wears is also sometimes called a 'cutaway' frock. If you're under a 40" chest I've seen several at Junk For Joy in burbank for less than $100. http://www.junkforjoy.com/

You can also buy cutaway morning frocks for those with more modern measurements here:

Brooks Brothers in Downtown LA would be a good source for houndstooth check material for the pants. http://brooksbrothers.com/
I also recommend this gentelman again for those without sewing skills who are looking to have the high-waist style pants made once they find thier chosen fabric:

I've also come across red suspenders in various thrift stores (new) so they are out there but not with the white leather button straps- that might require some modifying.

THANK YOU again for posting this!

:) I'm glad you approve.

One day I'm TOTALLY going to LA. Possibly just for these shops, they sound amazing.

I think the difference between the availability of red suspenders might have something to do with countries... Doesn't Uncle Sam have red suspenders or something?

I shall edit the post to add in these links tomorrow.
