<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvBSI5SfVJRJoHL4FPlvuJ_ODkxCA6Ty6-kbyi9c3VVK6fHD5JN0xDvigbXfi6WYwFUosusyoEK-XFE-d0mNKPvvIm2ywUC8435m5-oHQJuXTwav_hewxU5mVNRqgj4omsIanBsTrk98w6/s1600/Donegal+at+W+Bills.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="800" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvBSI5SfVJRJoHL4FPlvuJ_ODkxCA6Ty6-kbyi9c3VVK6fHD5JN0xDvigbXfi6WYwFUosusyoEK-XFE-d0mNKPvvIm2ywUC8435m5-oHQJuXTwav_hewxU5mVNRqgj4omsIanBsTrk98w6/s320/Donegal+at+W+Bills.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The original tweed had been sourced at W Bills, and was a hand-woven half-width cloth. There was two bolts in stock when I first went in, and these quickly sold out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
At the time I made enquiries about getting it rewoven, which was something W Bills was keen on doing, but the weavers could not reorder the same yarns, so their attempts were less than inspiring.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2xdgUZePD7Zrlgd35Q3xarRIaVKzsHb-zjmDHJ7ogxCZnhaKCJkoS43gSpZWPAbhyByP-sFuADb1JIib3LBm4vYzdyJyVPvKHgHedq08dkZr9-eIRjZ2nViOh4IZYXBryk00g7Jy30Ng/s1600/W+Bill+label.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2xdgUZePD7Zrlgd35Q3xarRIaVKzsHb-zjmDHJ7ogxCZnhaKCJkoS43gSpZWPAbhyByP-sFuADb1JIib3LBm4vYzdyJyVPvKHgHedq08dkZr9-eIRjZ2nViOh4IZYXBryk00g7Jy30Ng/s200/W+Bill+label.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Later, when W Bills was sold to Harrisons, I had a meeting with them to discuss ongoing restocking of legacy Doctor Who cloths, and the Donegal was one of those we talked about.<br />
<br />
Ultimately they produced a reweave, which overall was a visual match, but used a thicker yarn and had a notable red fleck which detracted from the simple duo-colour of the original.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUPONctLylc5fyp_Lc7ZKE_n7tIRvMMKN44o9kndJRAgm4eYRn4IdHNJv352DmJxGX2lXmDPHIgLvrqldemmJuX7Sv5VVaip-azHsMCMWF82rB2mIH9zUJirskHIJtt8cHoZutN3H-s-6E/s1600/jacket+on+stand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="542" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUPONctLylc5fyp_Lc7ZKE_n7tIRvMMKN44o9kndJRAgm4eYRn4IdHNJv352DmJxGX2lXmDPHIgLvrqldemmJuX7Sv5VVaip-azHsMCMWF82rB2mIH9zUJirskHIJtt8cHoZutN3H-s-6E/s400/jacket+on+stand.jpg" width="180" /></a>The cloth I have stumbled across is woven from a yarn of a thickness between the screen-used and rewoven tweeds.<br />
<br />
It has some very minor flecks, but in a light colour that do not distract too much from the overall look of the fabric.<br />
<br />
I have made up a couple of jackets now in this new option, and it has proved very popular.<br />
<br />
Personally I would recommend this cover over the current W Bill reweave, as it is closer to the original screen-used fabric.<br />
<br />
I’ll make this new cloth the subject of a <a href="http://www.11thdoctorcostume.com/search/label/Fabric%20Friday" target="_blank">Fabric Friday</a> very soon, so you can see a comparison between this and the two W Bill weaves.<br />

There’s only one Doctor Who item for sale in this month’s Bonhams Entertainment auction, but it is something of a landmark.<br />
<br />
Although this is being marketed principally as a Dalek that appeared in the Twelfth Doctor’s ear, it made it’s first appearance in a Matt Smith episode.<br />
<br />
<br />

<i>During the first of these episodes, the Doctor (Matt Smith), Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darville) were kidnapped by the Daleks and sent to their 'asylum' planet to head off a break-out of the unstable Daleks imprisoned there. It was there that the Doctor met the first of the manifold Clara Oswalds (Jenna Coleman) created during the events leading up to the series 50th Anniversary. In the latter episodes, the next Doctor (Peter Capaldi) - accompanied by Clara and "Missy" (Michelle Gomez) - was summoned to Skaro (the Daleks' home planet) for one last visit to their creator, Davros, who seemed to be on the brink of death. This proved to be a sophisticated ruse to enable Davros to drain the Doctor of his regenerative power, but was insufficient to fool him. As has happened on so many previous occasions, the Doctor turned the tables and defeated him.</i><br />

</i> <i>Most recently, the Dalek appeared in the Cardiff Bay segment of the 2017 "Comic Relief" Television Appeal.</i><br />

Since getting some of the Scaley silk fabric used to make the series 7b waistcoat, I thought I’d have a go at making my own.<br />
<br />
The cut is very simple, and have have a plethora of books to use as a basis.<br />
<br />
My favourite dates from the early 20th century.<br />
<br />

I’ve paired it here with my Hide Shirt, but I know it’s the wrong bow tie - it will have to do for now.<br />

<br />
I tracked down the source of the original buttons used on Matt’s waistcoat, and as usual they aren’t just a simple off the shelf job - that would be too easy!<br />
<br />
An early versions of this waistcoat as seen in <i>The Rings Of Akhaten</i> had plain black plastic buttons, but by the time it appears in <i>Cold War</i>, it has much nicer silk buttons.<br />
<br />

<br />
These are hand-made from Russian braid, which although comes in a range of colours, doesn’t come in the right grade to make buttons this small.<br />

I had to buy a special dyeable Russian braid which is thin enough; get that professionally dyed to the colour of my choice; before getting the buttons hand-made!<br />
<br />

<br />
But I think it was worth the effort, as these buttons lift the finished result and make it something a bit special.<br />

Without doubt one of the nicest, and enigmatic waistcoats Matt wore first appeared on screen in <i>The Rings Of Akaban</i>, though it debuted in the dedicated publicity photos for the previous episode <i>The Bells Of St John</i>, despite it not appearing in that adventure.<br />
I know - confusing!<br />
<br />
It has a wonderfully textured cloth in a fish-scale pattern; is in a colour that compliments the frock coat so elegantly; has cut a that is simple and stylish; and has more variants than you might think.<br />
<br />
But its the cloth I’m focusing on today.<br />
<br />

The fabric has evaded efforts to track it down since its first appearance in the Hide publicity photos that heralded the start of filming on series 7b.<br />
<br />
However, through a chance conversation with fans at this year’s Gallifrey One convention, costume design Howard Bergen finally let slip where he got it from.<br />
<br />

The fabric is silk and wool mix, and is a grey/mauve colour.<br />

Here’s the fabric in close detail, showing up the scale pattern, and it’s slightly erratic weave.<br />

<br />
The material itself was sourced from Hopkins Fabrics, a rather exclusive fabric merchants, who as a rule only sell direct to trade.<br />
<br />
Called (appropriately) Scaley, it comes on a range of 13 colours - but its the Grey/Mauve that was used on Matt’s costume.<br />

After cancelling twice before at the last minute, I like many was kind of hoping Jeremy Wilkin would finally put in an appearance, but all our hopes were dashed as yet again he was a no-show.<br />
<br />
Still, the rest of the line up had some great names always worth meeting, plus some I had not met before and was looking forward to seeing for the first time.<br />
<br />
There was a minor Eleventh Doctor cast reunion, with two actors who both appeared in <i>A Good Man Goes To War</i> and <i>The Wedding Of River Song</i>.<br />

<b>FRANCOISE PASCAL </b>first appeared in <i>Coronation Street</i>, playing Ray Langton's friend, then P<i>lay of the Month </i>for the BBC in <i>Don Quixote </i>with Rex Harrison. She was cast in numerous comedy series such as <i>Happy Ever After</i> with Terry Scott and June Whitfield, as well as <i>My Honourable Mrs</i> with Derek Nimmo. Her most notably comedy part was in <i>Mind Your Language</i>.<br />
<br />
After the usual autograph opportunity as well as a chance to get a professional photo with the guests, there was the ever popular question and answer session.<br />
<br />
It proved to become a lively discussion, bordering on a debate.<br />
<br />

In fact at one point Simon Fisher-Becker said he felt like he was on <i>Question Time</i>!<br />

The discussion opened with Henry Woolf, who by the sounds of things thoroughly enjoyed his time on <i>The Sun Makers</i>, especially the electric wheelchair he was given. He had insisted on practice time with the chair in the BBC rehearsal rooms so he was proficient at its use on set, which I think shows through.<br />
<br />
Georgina Moon had not appeared in <i>Doctor Who</i>, but had notably member of the supporting cast in Gerry Anderson's <i>UFO</i> as a member of the SkyDiver personnel. She particularly remembered her cringeworthy string-vest uniform, that left little to the imagination!<br />

Kelly Hunter talked about her work with her theatre company which brings Shakespeare plays to those with learning difficulties. The format draws the audience into direct contact with the actors, and a range of improvisation ensues.<br />

Next we heard from Francoise Pascal, and the discussion hit upon her time in <i>Mind Your Langauge</i>, a sitcom from the 1970s about a group of foreign characters learning English at evening classes. The series had proved controversial at the time, even more so no, with its accentuated characterisations of black, south Asian and Europeans.<br />

Despite being a series not screen in the UK for many years, Francoise explained how it is shown in a number of countries the characters originate from, proving in a way that although it is seen in the UK as racist, it is not perceived as such in those countries.<br />
The discussion continued with the audience, and the rights and wrongs of such programmes was drawn into question and sharp focus.<br />

Moya Brady drew the conversation to her times working with Russell T Davies on <i>Love And Monsters</i>, which she explained had been about the fans. Sadly it had failed to hit the right note with the audience which had disappointed her, but she thoroughly enjoyed her time working on it. Asked about Peter Kaye, she explained how with a lot of productions, unless you are in scenes together you don't necessarily spend time together off-set, so she hadn't seen much of him.<br />

A lot of Peter Stenson's appearances in <i>Doctor Who </i>were in full body costumes and masks. The first of these was as Voord in <i>The Keys Of Marinus</i>, where he was required to wear a full-body wet suit and head mask. Being skin tight, and under the hot studio lights, it was very uncomfortable and he was soon sweating resulting in the suit getting quite squidgy to wear! At one point he took one of the boots off in sight of the cameras and he poured the collected sweat onto the studio floor, which the gallery saw. The studio doors was opened after that to allow a throughput of cool air, but it had little effect.<br />
<br />
Francis Barber has had an amazing career, working with some incredible actors and is still very busy today. She had just finished work on a series for HBO with Dustin Hoffman shot in Italy, and before that another filming in Mexico.<br />

She revealed that she auditioned for the part of Mrs Slocombe in the upcoming <i>Are You Being Served?</i> revival, but didn't get it. Harking back to earlier discussions, she questioned how on earth such scripts were written then, and how they can't be done now.<br />
<br />
Simon Fisher-Becker chipped in that he had been put forward for Mr Rumbold, but hadn't been called for an actual audition.<br />
<br />
He talked about agents and how they are a necessary evil: good to have when negotiations get tricky; annoying when they get in the way of a good part. His agent is disinterested in convention bookings, so he has a young PA to help him out, who's got 40 bookings this year already, some as far afield as Australia and America. <br />
<br />
Discussion turned to how a lot of actors and catwalk models are pressured into looking or acting a certain way, making for a blandness in characters on screen. <br />
<br />

I raised an interesting point which I heard at a Gerry Anderson convention last year. At a panel containing all the surviving voice artists who played the Tracy brothers, a member of the audience had expressed his appreciation of classic <i>Thunderbirds</i>. However, he had an issue with the latest CGI revival. He is blind, and cannot distinguish the voices for the Tracy brothers from each other - they all have a similarity in tone, accent and style. This had stunned the audience last year, and several of the panel were visibly challenged by the idea today. <br />

It's something we don't necessarily think about, but is an increasing problem - a lack of diversity and a levelling out of types of actors being used.Steven Ricks Tailoringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549983020683092455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123717808605297864.post-82369201462205074512016-02-26T21:30:00.000+00:002016-02-26T21:30:07.541+00:00Eye spy with my little eye - something hidden on eBayIt’s funny what turns up on eBay sometimes.<br />

<br />
He had been watching a film over the festive period and something rang a bell with him in connection to the custom frock coat I recently made for a client of mine in the US.<br />
<br />
He was watching the 2009 Guy Ritchie version of <i>Sherlock Holmes</i>, and noticed that Jude Law’s costume as Doctor Watson bore more than a passing resemblance to what I had made!<br />

It’s not precisely the W Bill fabric my client choose, but it’s damned close.<br />
The only difference is the horizontal grid-lines are a light blue, but their spacing and background colour certainly look to be a match.<br />
<br />
Not only that, it was used in a very similar way with a stylised, short frock coat and waistcoat, along with a match pair of trousers!<br />

Neither my client or I had seen this before the commission, so that’s an unexpected surprise to say the least.<br />

I was very pleased with how the brown frock turned out for my UK client, but out of the two I’ve done the blue one for my US client is my personal favourite.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0Mohp-r6-J33WqLBhWQa0Mpb3w3UfHmci7jDXQmbjzgbJvcxxsC2Ck_cCcqYtXzUwWOJTkUURIiVoVabth8gSbkvy-o1RBn5tt4taBB35AQ021Q23tG1GagGgNfCeJgRSscNRMuDM_gW/s1600/BLUE+-+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0Mohp-r6-J33WqLBhWQa0Mpb3w3UfHmci7jDXQmbjzgbJvcxxsC2Ck_cCcqYtXzUwWOJTkUURIiVoVabth8gSbkvy-o1RBn5tt4taBB35AQ021Q23tG1GagGgNfCeJgRSscNRMuDM_gW/s400/BLUE+-+front.jpg" width="201" /></a>It's been challenging to make, as the brown grid pattern demands that it is matched and balanced across the seams wherever possible.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirzz2s5-0Z9jyTzKBrcfO5qnCzgLJDWSNognQcNkwgf-JxjAoxo0y2eB4FuxEsQLhWmFqzKkbxUwo8RNxFq2e3Bxl87KLAiUI_-nOZ7EnzI164frvH5CBgmkEhuRCF8CoCR34dprtf2_ee/s1600/BLUE+-+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirzz2s5-0Z9jyTzKBrcfO5qnCzgLJDWSNognQcNkwgf-JxjAoxo0y2eB4FuxEsQLhWmFqzKkbxUwo8RNxFq2e3Bxl87KLAiUI_-nOZ7EnzI164frvH5CBgmkEhuRCF8CoCR34dprtf2_ee/s320/BLUE+-+back.jpg" width="172" /></a><br />
The placement of the lines running parallel to seams have to be carefully pre-planned. If they sit close to the seam it will make he pattern look irregularly spaced; if they fall into the seam there will be a gap in the pattern repeat, which also will look odd.<br />
<br />

The cutting of the breast pocket welt is particularly critical.<br />
<br />
If you look closely I have matched the grid lines vertically AND horizontally, plus also ensuring that the welt has grid lines passing through it both ways. If the grid missed the welt it would look like a separate piece of blue fabric, disjointed form the rest of the coat.<br />
<br />
The waist seam at the front is carefully cut so the spacing of the horizontal lines is not interrupted or distorted.<br />
<br />

Obviously there are areas of the coat that cannot be 100% marched due to the shaping and fitting that darts and seams create, but these discrepancies have been concealed under the arm or towards the back out of sight.<br />
<br />
There was a slight hiccup with the cloth for the coat - something my client didn't know about (until now!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When he spotted the Shetland tweed on the W Bill website it showed a stock of 3.5 metres. From my experience they are good at managing their stock, but before ordering I did get them to check that there was enough for me to make the coat. They came back to me saying there was a measured 3.4 metres, which I asked them to reserves while my client saw a in-hand swatch. Once approved I called to order the tweed, only to discover that only 1.2 metres was left! <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-BXiXkCo6xNbvQpayWxzAKj0NhKQCm5RKnQmsFxUEUbYq7SaTRF3uGB4GLAyJ1ZMso10VD9ZVtp_0EfUgb5H8CoyEy6xYjtzi8NoM0SWMpVrrQaES2YTwSv19Zo-GLtz6MiLT-BevGMiq/s1600/BLUE+-+collar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-BXiXkCo6xNbvQpayWxzAKj0NhKQCm5RKnQmsFxUEUbYq7SaTRF3uGB4GLAyJ1ZMso10VD9ZVtp_0EfUgb5H8CoyEy6xYjtzi8NoM0SWMpVrrQaES2YTwSv19Zo-GLtz6MiLT-BevGMiq/s320/BLUE+-+collar.jpg" width="240" /></a>The cloth was already on re-order and due in within a couple of weeks, so luckily all was not lost. But through the inconvenience I get them to supply 4 metres for the cost of the 3.4 metres I was expecting to pay for.<br />
As a result, there was enough fabric left from cutting the coat so allow for me to make a matching a waistcoat - an opportunity my client jumped at.<br />
<br />

I used the same pattern as the Matt Smith waistcoat from <i>Day Of The Doctor</i>, which naturally goes with the frock coat.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBNX6t8Hg6aSkZEpykDv8Qv6f42NnLaRmaT1d1ZPd_Wt0Ui-vUwvXquO8kvlMpYLV90IVZ6HT5Il_StYxokJrd7LgHssgwY7ZhHmnCKO-DiJEOQB7EwBJHYqTd6v1LPXlQ5t6R-SGs7erO/s1600/BLUE+-+waistcoat+underneath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBNX6t8Hg6aSkZEpykDv8Qv6f42NnLaRmaT1d1ZPd_Wt0Ui-vUwvXquO8kvlMpYLV90IVZ6HT5Il_StYxokJrd7LgHssgwY7ZhHmnCKO-DiJEOQB7EwBJHYqTd6v1LPXlQ5t6R-SGs7erO/s320/BLUE+-+waistcoat+underneath.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
To tie the two garments together, I used the navy blue velvet from the coat's collar to make the welts for the pockets.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSc7Aoz3851SV-tc2X3jJ_3hM_Gn2Q8YHzMVHh5fntXukIKHzsSnFf-FsJKVTBbtCqNXtUajQ34b34iuyh0W6IOuxUYWsCaDbTee0lo1D_usDcrrmcdd0kQ7ZMuQhIaenMmjPlNkPG5PZJ/s1600/BLUE+-+waistcoat+front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSc7Aoz3851SV-tc2X3jJ_3hM_Gn2Q8YHzMVHh5fntXukIKHzsSnFf-FsJKVTBbtCqNXtUajQ34b34iuyh0W6IOuxUYWsCaDbTee0lo1D_usDcrrmcdd0kQ7ZMuQhIaenMmjPlNkPG5PZJ/s200/BLUE+-+waistcoat+front.jpg" width="133" /></a><br />
<br />
This made things a little easier for me, as I didn't need to pattern-match across the welts from the body of the waistcoat!<br />
<br />

The back of the waistcoat uses the lining fabric from the coat.<br />
<br />

Being made from genuine W Bill Shetland Tweed, the coat has their special label inside. My own is concealed inside the pocket.<br />
<br />

For this coat we stuck to the buttons and buttonhole configuration of the Matt Smith coat, though with the five-button cuff as I did on the brown coat.<br />
<br />

The same top quality brown horn buttons were used on the waistcoat. This picks out the colour of the grid, and the thread used for the buttonholes themselves match too.<br />

As I arrived I bumped into a couple of good friends, Chris and John, who I hadn’t seen for a while, so it was good to catch up with them before going in.<br />
<br />
The guest list wasn’t as full as previous events, but I did still need five autographs, so the buy-four-get-one-free policy was perfect for me. There was a predominance of Eleventh Doctor actors too, which we don’t usually see for some reason. Tenth Planet Events are quite classic series biased - not that I am complaining!<br />

<b>BILL PATERSON</b> played Dr Edwin Bracewell in <i>Victory of the Daleks</i> and <i>The Pandorica Opens</i>.<br />
He has co-starred with many <i>Doctor Who</i> actors during a career. He was the lead character in Sea of Souls, which was produced by Phil Collinson immediately before his move to <i>Doctor Who</i>. During the series he worked with many Who-related guest stars, including: Paul McGann, Michelle Collins, Colin Salmon, Michelle Duncan, Peter Guinness, Christina Cole, Peter Capaldi, Sarah Haynes, Nicholas Gecks, Ellie Haddington, Louis Mahoney, Michael Obiora, Eric Mason, Bhasker Patel and Struan Rodger.<br />
After Souls, he was the senior Crown Prosecutor in the first four series of <i>Law and Order UK</i>. He was thus the boss of Freema Agyeman's character — and eventually surrendered his wig to Peter Davison.<br />

Bill is someone I definitely wanted to meet. He's been appearing in series down the years with his distinctive Scottish accent, from <i>Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy</i> in 1978; through <i>The Singing Detective</i>; and the many documentaries and to adverts he's voiced since. I'm greatly looking forward to his Fraiser in the upcoming <i>Dad's Army</i> movie due out early next year.<br />

It kicked off with Liz Smith talking a lot about her time on Life On Mars. She recalled the attention to detail the producers went to for every aspect of the series. She said there were drawers in the police station containing index cards full of supposed crime info. None of it was seen, but it was there just in case it was needed.<br />
<br />
She also told us a hilarious story about dog poo! The producers had made fake poo - in white as that was what happen to it in the 1970s due to the additives in dog food at that time. I must admit it chimed a chord with me and they were right!<br />
<br />
She also remembered the ‘period’ costumes that had to be made, as true vintage clothes don’t really fit the figures of today.<br />

Turning to Bill Paterson, it quickly emerged this was his first EVER event appearance for anything he had done, so it was a bit of a coup getting him.<br />
<br />
As well as talking a little about Doctor Who, he spoke about his up-coming appearance as Fraser in the Dad’s Army film. He said it was over a year since they had shot it, but the producers were waiting until February to release it as similar films with elderly casts perform better if released during the first three months of a year!<br />

Nina Toussaint-White recalled her first big break, working on EastEnders and seeing the Albert Square at Elstree Studios, a stones throw from where I live.<br />

Simon Fisher-Becker is well known for being a big Doctor Who fan, but he said this was affirmed when he was first on set and seeing the TARDIS. This made him even more of fan rather than a follower.<br />

Jaye Grifffiths was someone I wanted to hear from, but was desperately disappointed with her comments and recollections.<br />
For her acting is just a job and nothing more. It is all about the next job, rather than endlessly looking back at the last. She described acting as more about the people you work with and how you bounce off them rather than the work itself. This meant her memories of programmes she has worked on are all impressions rather than recollections of specific happenings.<br />
<br />
Talking of Doctor Who, she said she was totally unaware of UNIT and the place it holds in the folklore of the series. She did say working with Gemma Redgrave was enormous fun, as was being chased by aliens and commanding UNIT personnel with their big guns!<br />

Addressing the whole line-up, they were asked what had been their worst location shoot. Jaye’s was undoubtedly having to be in the Thames for Bugs. It was freezing cold and filthy but the only footage used was a tight close-up, so she could as well have been in a warm bath rather than a stinking river!<br />

Michael McStay remembered having to film on a rubbish tip close to Heathrow airport, and Bill’s worst was the heat of Karachi for the Channel 4 series, Traffic.<br />

Anneka Wills, vertically, remembered the studio-based tank filming for <i>The Underwater Menace</i>, which has recently been released on DVD.<br />
<br />
She then had the nerve to say what I am sure a lot of us have been thinking, that <i>The Underwater Menace </i>is really just a load of rubbish. She went on to say the release itself wasn’t the best and felt quite rushed and incomplete.<br />
<br />
I have to say I do agree with her.

This is the first of the two finished custom frock coats I have made this month.<br />
<br />
We have used the very same pattern as the Matt Smith frock coat, keep ing the lines nice and clean, but with a couple of twists here and there.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu6Usw7UargZ0tfthNjdHkU50EOwDNvJTUXX3E_Tu8a5uH1mQZkIWgWH04DLoKz7k6iav5KobdfyhrY-GqvF7q2_jgvGG9ASXoheymM6_hvtRzGdW4TnJZGXCguld_ThGWDQW4gTYCd6T_/s1600/BROWN+-+back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu6Usw7UargZ0tfthNjdHkU50EOwDNvJTUXX3E_Tu8a5uH1mQZkIWgWH04DLoKz7k6iav5KobdfyhrY-GqvF7q2_jgvGG9ASXoheymM6_hvtRzGdW4TnJZGXCguld_ThGWDQW4gTYCd6T_/s320/BROWN+-+back.jpg" width="162" /></a><br />
<br />
The Matt Smith coat has an unusual arrangement of buttonholes: there are three either side at the front, as if to button the coat up - but with no buttons opposite to match up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSQYCztfXZ7C5bcjiEjsJPTjjFLslwMVfmrr_Wm70YPjwGiXAlGic5uqCN6yr99MELsAEQ80d4BYDElt9Cw0rMxalW2NnRlBAJfk1WuRfYFFBTH3ryYo6blKW5PfLIxG-ReG56yK3u_a1/s1600/BROWN+-+buttoning.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSQYCztfXZ7C5bcjiEjsJPTjjFLslwMVfmrr_Wm70YPjwGiXAlGic5uqCN6yr99MELsAEQ80d4BYDElt9Cw0rMxalW2NnRlBAJfk1WuRfYFFBTH3ryYo6blKW5PfLIxG-ReG56yK3u_a1/s320/BROWN+-+buttoning.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
In fact, the arrangement of three on BOTH sides would suggest a double-breasting, but the coat is simply not cut for that. So I have added buttons, in a double-breasted style.<br />
<br />
Matt’s coat also has an array of lapel buttonholes - three on either side too.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5IFTSWegbQs7NXyaRrl1aFovbbpPy_bbH2U77Fj9XBx2SPsmS-n-UklnUPYo6an01tuyo_KWo1oEVUSCJIFHLLcyw9MNosATSU9oz2znIYKxV6GnZ8RVkQCrbjX7pbFdWuA15_gOvEaS9/s1600/d4-5e-013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5IFTSWegbQs7NXyaRrl1aFovbbpPy_bbH2U77Fj9XBx2SPsmS-n-UklnUPYo6an01tuyo_KWo1oEVUSCJIFHLLcyw9MNosATSU9oz2znIYKxV6GnZ8RVkQCrbjX7pbFdWuA15_gOvEaS9/s200/d4-5e-013.jpg" width="105" /></a><br />
This arrangement apes the season 16 coat first worn by Tom Baker in the <i>Power Of Kroll</i>, and by adding the buttons it is a further nod to that coat too.<br />
<br />

The Matt Smith coat has a corduroy collar in a deep purple. For this coat I used the very same chocolate brown velvet I used to make my Tom Baker coat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As we have included buttons on the front, it goes to follow that buttons are added to the back too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, the I have made the cuffs with five buttons.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmYk_lGivOUoyCOjgEY1TvssXQER7-BS7jDfVV27c06I2WWBbrvVXvsjCASvXzAlinVSZ7tJAEmudG5SJbok67rNFBJ4X3CCcqgQsr0Ff3gQkicFXOnwt3-HdpxCwkSEfJjzPtARqOOvmK/s1600/BROWN+-+cuffs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmYk_lGivOUoyCOjgEY1TvssXQER7-BS7jDfVV27c06I2WWBbrvVXvsjCASvXzAlinVSZ7tJAEmudG5SJbok67rNFBJ4X3CCcqgQsr0Ff3gQkicFXOnwt3-HdpxCwkSEfJjzPtARqOOvmK/s200/BROWN+-+cuffs.jpg" width="150" /></a>I noticed that each coat Matt wore had one more than before - the Donegal has two; the Shetland has three; the cashmere has four - so I have made this the next in line with five.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Dabba8zeBCpkvonqw3Z_3Yyxh1soHbDPv23XRodO3n8am14VO-SFwXv-HZ-zUUws_qgE59GAWuUhpr1u1sfiZJ5RbrURxa2EGkyKVJ1lQ6turP0R4aAgsjAtWDPsL-qwOa1RIUA5t5-X/s1600/BROWN+-+lining.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Dabba8zeBCpkvonqw3Z_3Yyxh1soHbDPv23XRodO3n8am14VO-SFwXv-HZ-zUUws_qgE59GAWuUhpr1u1sfiZJ5RbrURxa2EGkyKVJ1lQ6turP0R4aAgsjAtWDPsL-qwOa1RIUA5t5-X/s320/BROWN+-+lining.jpg" width="225" /></a><br />
But the big secret about the coat is the lining. For this I have used something very special and unique.<br />
<br />
It is a blue colourway of the stunning red-flame lining used in the Ultimate Sixth Doctor Frock Coat.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I have used this cloth, so it makes the finishing something a little eye catching.<br />
<br />
I hope the client likes it!Steven Ricks Tailoringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549983020683092455noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123717808605297864.post-56602065597967671902015-11-03T20:29:00.000+00:002015-11-10T20:37:10.965+00:00Custom Frock Coats - fabric selectionOnce in a while, amongst all the tweed jackets, Crombie coats and knitted waistcoats, I get the occasional commission that piques my interest and gives me the chance to be a bit more creative than usual.<br />

I have already made one or two frock coats to patterns I use, but using cloth at the choice of the client, and these have inspired my latest commissions.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xim3edP8PS5cpwK4unnzr9513hVQuHCBozSw7od5uX5GOKOX0si5_xIIlm0LHgVHgydi2AQydhxB29CSLd40w_2uFJorjNpzUdzkD6IOo_-0Esu6O-_6O0A43whyClZfAhT6vEJYL6d_/s1600/The+Rings+of+Akhaten-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xim3edP8PS5cpwK4unnzr9513hVQuHCBozSw7od5uX5GOKOX0si5_xIIlm0LHgVHgydi2AQydhxB29CSLd40w_2uFJorjNpzUdzkD6IOo_-0Esu6O-_6O0A43whyClZfAhT6vEJYL6d_/s400/The+Rings+of+Akhaten-1.jpg" width="185" /></a>Since series 7b, the stylish lines of a simple frock coat have become very popular. Barely a month goes by without me getting one or two requests for a cashmere coat. If it wasn't for the lack of available fabric I'd be making it more often!<br />
<br />
But this month had not one, but two serious enquires for Matt Smith style frock coat, each in starkly different tweed fabrics. By contrast, one client is in the UK, the other in the US.<br />
<br />
Both were attacked by those simple lines, lack of outer pockets, and the fitted drape of a more thoughtfully cut garment.<br />
<br />
My UK-based client wants his in a dark brown tweed - something with some texture and visual movement to it.<br />
<br />

He has left it totally up to me to source the cloth so I sent him a choice of swatches from W Bills and a number of quality cloth houses in London's Soho.<br />
He's gave me a brief for the lining, which I have already found a perfect match for - a jacquard weave in a silver paisley design but to make the coat a little bit special I also included some of the custom woven linings I have in stock.<br />
<br />
Ultimately it was one of these he went for - I’ll keep it a surprise as to which.<br />
<br />
My US-based client on the other hand has seen a very specific Shetland tweed from W Bills, and wants me to use that.<br />
<br />

Sourcing the tweed from W Bills was easy for me, as I have contacts within the company. This way I was able to reserve the remaining 3.5 metres (just enough to make the frock coat) while I sent a swatch the US for approval.<br />
<br />
For his lining he found a fabric in the US which he sent over to me to use. Unfortunately this proved to be unstable for lining the coat, so I sourced a very nice quality blue twill fabric.<br />
<br />

Getting the cloth for the other coat was a little more tricky as the choice ended up being from one of the Soho fabric shops, which tend to only get one-off bolts which once gone cannot be restocked. With this in mind I was instructed to buy additional material to cover either a second coat or a pair of trousers and a waistcoat.<br />
Luckily there was enough to cover everything my client wants, so that was a relief.<br />
<br />
Once I had all the fabric I needed, I turned attention to cutting and making-up.<br />
<br />

This is a very rare item, a genuine TARDIS door sign, used during the filming of Series 5 of <i>Doctor Who</i>, the first to feature Matt Smith as the Doctor. The sign, having been used for filming was damaged en route to a filming location and was then replaced. The damage is apparent. One corner has broken off altogether (although is present and has been reattached by plastic film applied to the rear of the sign). Some of the letters have also come adrift and are missing.<br />

The photographs show the worst of the damage.<br />
The discarded sign was rescued by Tristan Peatfield, who worked as Stand-by Art Director and then Production Designer on that series (between the departure of Ed Thomas and the arrival of Michael Pickwoad). <br />

I am selling it on Tristan's behalf, in aid of the charity that he and his partner Kim established in the name of their daughter Isabella, who was the youngest British victim of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster.<br />

The Isabella Peatfield fund raises money to support children's projects in Sri Lanka, where Isabella died. http://www.isabellapeatfield.com/<br />

<b>Questions and answers about this item</b><br />
Q: <i>I would like to know if there will be a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) or some other documentation illustrating the authenticity and history of the "DOCTOR WHO GENUINE ON-SCREEN USED TARDIS SIGN SERIES 5 (MATT SMITH) included with the item? Thank you. </i><br />
A: <i>I can arrange for this if needed.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i> Q: <i>Hello, I was curious, do you know what episodes, specifically, this sign was seen in or could have been seen in? I understand it was Series 5, Matt Smith's first season, and with the range of assistants you listed it could have been anything before the Christmas special, but I was wondering if you could help me narrow that down. If not, that is perfectly fine. It's a wonderful item either way, but I was considering bidding on it as a gift for someone and it would be better if I could at least give an episode, a range of episodes, or say "this is the sign from most of Series 5" if that is indeed the case. Thank you. </i><br />
A: <i>Hi, I have asked Tristan this very question, but I'm afraid he just doesn't remember. It will have been earlier rather than later in Series 5, I believe.</i>Steven Ricks Tailoringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07549983020683092455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123717808605297864.post-14700208102838687162015-09-04T18:34:00.001+01:002015-09-25T09:07:20.097+01:00Prop Store London auction - 23rd September 2015So, after a number of lack-lustre auctions, it finally looks like Bonhams has a genuine challenger to their Entertainment Memorabilia sales.<br />

<a href="http://www.propstore.com/" target="_blank">PropStore.com </a>have been selling high-end props and costumes for sometime now, including the occasional <i>Doctor Who </i>piece.<br />
<br />
But this month they are holding a live auction at the BFI IMAX cinema in Waterloo - for all intents and purposes a Bonhams style auction.<br />
<br />
there‘s some amazing stuff on offer, from Mr Spock’s costume from classic <i>Star Trek</i>, to costumes from <i>Back To The Future</i>, the <i>Alien</i> and <i>Star Wars </i>films.<br />
<br />
And unlike the last couple of years of Bonhams auctions, there are is a good spread of quality items on offer to attract the interest of the dedicated Doctor Who fans out there.<br />

This week I’m going a little further back to series 6 for the Paul Smith shirt first used in <i>The Impossible Astronaut</i>.<br />
<br />
There was much debate as to what the true colour of the shirt was, with some seeing it as purple/violet; others seeing it as blue; some thought it was a grey colour.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ironically in a way all of these are almost correct, as the shirt by Paul Smith was available in a number of colourways, including a grey and blueish purple colour.<br />
<br />
It’s very difficult to scan and keep the true colour, so I have had to colour correct theres images, which I’ve done to the best I can.<br />

<br />
It’s quite a subtle cloth. If you look real closely you can see there are woven diamond shapes in the tie spaces between the stripes, something that rarely shows up on screen.<br />

<br />

<br />
It’s about time I put things right and added to the collection.<br />
<br />
Series 7b saw Matt Smith ’s wardrobe flourish from the relatively restrictive roster of a couple of tweed jackets, shirts and bow ties as worn at his series five debut to a plethora of shirts, bow ties and waistcoats.<br />
<br />
Now he seemed to be wearing a new bow tie or shirt for every adventure, rarely wearing the same garment more than once.<br />
<br />
One of the shirts that made a solo appearance was for the episode <i>Hide</i>.<br />
<br />

This was the first adventure to be filmed that had Clara as the Doctor’s companion, and was the first time he wore his brand new cashmere frock coat.<br />
<br />
The first shirt worn with it was hand-made using cloth sourced from a well known London fabric store.<br />
<br />
The cut of the shirt was very similar to the series six shirts, with a tabbed collar.<br />
<br />

<br />
Earlier this year they relocated to Poland Street on the north side of Soho, much closer to all the other fabric stores from where a lot of the cloth for <i>Doctor Who</i> is sourced.<br />
<br />
It is a lightweight and very soft cotton fabric, with the design woven as opposed to printed.<br />

Last week on Fabric Friday I showed you the recently rewoven Donegal Tweed now on offer from Harrisons (the company who bought out W Bills).<br />
<br />
I showed had although it was not totally perfect, I think it passed the distance test.<br />
<br />
I mentioned that I was working on making a tweed jacket out of this new cloth, and would show you the results alongside my own jacket made from the screen-used fabric.<br />
<br />
Well, true to my word here are some shots to show the two side-by-side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-nCG0ub9FjdmveJj243nhe7X6HY6-MdArz8mZGCqpw3mAWCrdwvtQY6TATLJv7JwEkmmGMPIiT_IDk3p1os55oJkDolWctqwSKmrpDhuslnafl0tp0D77KjxbQ7ngD_5IR8ab9M99NdIG/s1600/full+side+by+side.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-nCG0ub9FjdmveJj243nhe7X6HY6-MdArz8mZGCqpw3mAWCrdwvtQY6TATLJv7JwEkmmGMPIiT_IDk3p1os55oJkDolWctqwSKmrpDhuslnafl0tp0D77KjxbQ7ngD_5IR8ab9M99NdIG/s400/full+side+by+side.jpg" width="272" /></a></div>
The first thing I should mention is my jacket (on the left) is a chest 42, and the new jacket (on the right) is only a chest 35! So this is a like-for-like on the fabric only - the cut of the jackets will look a little different compared to each other.<br />
<br />
The next Donegal I have to make will be a chest 44 - so from one end of the scale to the other.<br />
<br />
Overall I think the reweave compares well, with the visual read of the fabric very close to the original.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The new fabric has a warmer shade to it, compared to the screen-used cloth, which is greener.<br />
<br />

Getting closer, its only now the red flecks start to show up, but they are not to frequent for it to notice too dominantly.<br />
<br />
You can’t get around that they are there, but frankly compared to a lot of other cloths I have sourced, this is by far the least intrusive available.<br />
<br />
It’s nice to be making this jacket again, as I haven’t made one for several years.<br />
The cut is a classic lounge jacket shape, and the cloth is a joy to work with.<br />

<br />
First up is the reweaving of an old favourite.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifOSojs9LyGTpuT2_YogEuoIcA-JNLjELp-JJUAC0x18xRRopjdQ85deLz4cwgx864LOxENvJeWEJT-tQqgN6jGXa1A0OAA3FDAtVVv2-yaA-yVz-RVU0vnAHSqj3HlGD_ssrq1gwKzcTr/s1600/Doctor_Who_5x06_Still_005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifOSojs9LyGTpuT2_YogEuoIcA-JNLjELp-JJUAC0x18xRRopjdQ85deLz4cwgx864LOxENvJeWEJT-tQqgN6jGXa1A0OAA3FDAtVVv2-yaA-yVz-RVU0vnAHSqj3HlGD_ssrq1gwKzcTr/s320/Doctor_Who_5x06_Still_005.jpg" width="174" /></a>Matt Smith’s main tweed jacket for his first season was made from a hand-woven Donegal fabric sourced at W Bills.<br />
<br />
At the time there were two bolts of the cloth available, and both of these were used to make a number of jackets for use throughout series five.<br />
<br />
The tweed had been woven sometime in 2007, so by the time it was used it was already a few years old.<br />
<br />
Only 36 inches wide, the fabric quickly sold out once its notoriety as being a <i>Doctor Who </i>cloth became known, alongside the Shetland tweed which was used for <i>A Christmas Carol </i>onwards.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8F-N9coObl6kwQu96f12kOIE1f2PPTsFU86qBdACvX2O2rWcZlxyI_OJAc688IByjgIDp3LvtAijN5pm8J4O1_Tvxgy3qHq-PC3-q7AwdRo3R_hZl-gAqORF9-JyGez_oGUQaCWcPjSIz/s1600/Donegal+detial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8F-N9coObl6kwQu96f12kOIE1f2PPTsFU86qBdACvX2O2rWcZlxyI_OJAc688IByjgIDp3LvtAijN5pm8J4O1_Tvxgy3qHq-PC3-q7AwdRo3R_hZl-gAqORF9-JyGez_oGUQaCWcPjSIz/s320/Donegal+detial.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Unlike the Shetland tweed, which has since been rewoven no less than three times, the Donegal proved to be more troublesome.<br />
<br />
Woven from only two colours of yarn (unlike the six used on the Shetland) finding a match for both was not as easy as it sounds. If one yarn is off, then half the design isn’t right.<br />
<br />
When I returned to W Bills to discuss the restocking of the Donegal, I was shown some samples the weavers had produced using the available yarns. None were remotely acceptable, either being too light or too dark or simply combining to produce the wrong colour.<br />
<br />
Ultimately W Bills gave up the quest to restock, so it fell by the wayside and has remained unavailable since.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYixh0ttMXNOef2iE4-GcOaRFcXFQiy9Zu_ZuQPA-dv-tyzrYYMgm57EgBiOpydLjJc6CekoB5_WENy0HhHY53vgYurVxk92hyphenhyphennksa5SnPpVHSJvsiYtmJhsVGs2W1n26yGh5p3xsqG-9u/s1600/Shetland+weave3+detial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYixh0ttMXNOef2iE4-GcOaRFcXFQiy9Zu_ZuQPA-dv-tyzrYYMgm57EgBiOpydLjJc6CekoB5_WENy0HhHY53vgYurVxk92hyphenhyphennksa5SnPpVHSJvsiYtmJhsVGs2W1n26yGh5p3xsqG-9u/s200/Shetland+weave3+detial.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
However, once Harrisons took over W Bills, they were much more proactive at maintaining stocks of popular fabrics, and took on board the interest in the Shetland tweed, which has since been rewoven. This comes under the <a href="http://eleventhdoctorcostume.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/fabric-friday-shetland-tweed-reweaves.html">WEAVE 3</a> that I covered on a previous Fabric Friday.<br />
<br />
I took the opportunity to talk to them about the Cashmere for Matt’s frock coat, which they researched but were unable to come up with a satisfactory result.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc0Mm4_fTUP50FkElEvp-6LBD4p5LzBZR0HvexBq_CpqLvmOUIhwM_JZYoXUAsHzzG_OX04j4mM-8Y-Ypr7A_5S4wODge6zATVg55Soxvd-bKPpbr8SyeKSK565PTTHFaZ5X2NLT3xHE6V/s1600/Donegal+REWEAVE+with+ruler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc0Mm4_fTUP50FkElEvp-6LBD4p5LzBZR0HvexBq_CpqLvmOUIhwM_JZYoXUAsHzzG_OX04j4mM-8Y-Ypr7A_5S4wODge6zATVg55Soxvd-bKPpbr8SyeKSK565PTTHFaZ5X2NLT3xHE6V/s400/Donegal+REWEAVE+with+ruler.jpg" width="280" /></a>I also gave them a swatch of the original Donegal, and using that they have now produced a rewoven fabric, abet a close but not perfect match.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>These images are directly scanned from fabric. They have then been colour-matched back to the material to give the best visual representation of the fabric.</i></blockquote>
First impressions is that the fabric is the best I have seen to date - and it is first impressions that count.<br />
<br />
I have seen others which are close, but either use yarns that are far too thin or too thick or have an excessive number of nepps (the lumps on the yarn that give it character) in contrasting colours such as red, blue or green.<br />
<br />

<br />
That said, this new cloth does have a few coloured nepps, but nowhere near as many as I have seen on alternative cloths.<br />

<br />
I think the cloth passes the test for its overall appearance and feel, though at extreme close-up it maybe falls down a bit.<br />
<br />
All this taken into account, I have investing in a length to see how it turns out as a jacket.<br />
<br />
It’s nice to have the fabric available again after so many years of being out of stock.<br />

If you’re looking to do a series six costume, specifically as seen in <i>The Angels Take Manhattan</i>, then something one of my readers has sent me will be of interest to you.<br />
<br />
The red braces worn with Matt’s G-Star RAW jeans are quite distinctive, with black leather ends to the straps on which the silver clips are attached.<br />
<br />
The have a semi-circular flap of leather over the top of the attachment, which isn’t a common design feature.<br />

It would appear that Stacy Adams currently stock braces in the right colour with this design of clip.<br />
For US$29.99 you can’t go wrong - and they are screen accurate!<br />

Grab a set while you can!!<br />

<br />
I get people contacting me all the time to ask about <i>Doctor Who</i> costumes. Can I make them this.; how much is it for that. Some email me, others contact me through social media.<br />
<br />
But today one came through on Google Hangout, which isn’t common. The upshot of their question was could they pop down the road to see me in Seattle Washington as they had heard about my <i>Doctor Who </i>costumes on <i>Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me</i>.<br />
<br />
Now, if you know a little about me you’d know I am UK based, living a little north of London and nowhere near Seattle.<br />
The thing that did catch my ear was hearing about me on <i>Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me</i>. Had someone reviewed or name checked my work? Wow. If so I didn’t know about it and was keen to find out more.<br />

I found their page on the net and it is a Saturday morning show on NPR Radio and WEBZ in Chicago.<br />
<br />
On Saturday 20th September 2014 their guest was Rick Steves, a Seattle based (ah - <i>that’s</i> where the confusion comes from) travel journalist. As part of the show they run a comical quiz entitled <i>Not My Job</i>, where the guest has to answer questions about other people with similar names to their’s.<br />
I had heard an edition where Scarlett Johansson was asked three questions about Gerry Anderson’s <i>Captain Scarlet</i>!<br />
<br />
Rick was questioned about three Steve Ricks’s. One was a composer who makes mix-tapes to listen to while you’re stoned; another was a name check in a book called <i>The Mammoth Book of Killers at Large</i>; and yours truly!<br />
<br />
I leave you to hear for yourself.<br />
The fun can be found 5 minutes 50 seconds into in <b><i>Not My Job: Travel Guru Rick Steves Gets Quizzed on Steve Ricks</i></b>.<br />

<br />

<br />
This is the same establishment that has custom-made the white, long-collared shirts worn by Peter Capaldi.<br />
<br />
I recently went back to visit them to see how things were going.<br />
<br />
By all accounts the shirts have been flying off the shelves, both the <a href="http://www.buddshirts.co.uk/blue-end-on-end-shirt.html" target="_blank">Blue End On End</a> shirt (as worn by Matt Smith) and and the white shirts with custom shaped collars (as worn by Peter Capaldi).<br />
<br />
So much so the blue shirts are now running low on stock using the screen-accurate fabric.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmdHn2VjmHExM6fAFS3r-bsRJHV316r5Ww9xOiN-7W_5UAaPYhYT-aaqkFF9x5780AU6QTnJTXuXv6iuC37KmLOzGJ1RMtgFr-FCbZ9LlBw9ysbOiRwOoCYQkBDLuLX0YFdeqSgwKsbLm/s1600/limited+sizing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmdHn2VjmHExM6fAFS3r-bsRJHV316r5Ww9xOiN-7W_5UAaPYhYT-aaqkFF9x5780AU6QTnJTXuXv6iuC37KmLOzGJ1RMtgFr-FCbZ9LlBw9ysbOiRwOoCYQkBDLuLX0YFdeqSgwKsbLm/s1600/limited+sizing.jpg" height="126" width="200" /></a>Budds are currently looking to source a replacement fabric, but finding a 100% match for the blue has been proving difficult.<br />
<br />
In the meantime only collar sizes 16, 16.5 and 17 are available - while stocks last!<br />

<br />

They soon released all twelve Doctors, and have kept the idea alive by doing a few of the peripheral characters as well.<br />
<br />
Now they are going back over a few of The Doctors, creating some of the alternative costume variations seen down the years.<br />
<br />

*EXTREMELY RARE* pair of used ALL SAINTS SPITALFIELDS 'LAYER BOOTS' as worn by 11th Doctor Matt Smith during DOCTOR WHO Series 5 (2010).<br />

However, these boots are getting on for five years old! Whilst every attempt to maintain them has been made, nevertheless there is some very slight cracking to the leather on the right boot and the soles are a bit worn. I have tried to take pictures which accurately reflect the wear on the boots. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!<br />
<br />
Thank you and good luck!<br />
