The 12th Doctor, Selling the Crombie coat.
With the reveal of Peter Capaldi’s outfit in Doctor Who, fans all over instantly noticed the comparison to the Jon Pertwee’s, 3rd Doctor, outfit. Fans everywhere were excited to see not only Capaldi’s take as the Doctor, but also the tribute to his Doctor that he watched when he was younger.
Then people started to notice the Crombie coat Capaldi was wearing. Even though he has yet to appear in this outfit fans are already heading to Crombie’s stores in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh to pay 800 pounds for their coats. The more devoted fans are paying upwards of 3000 pounds to get the red silk lining you can see on the inside of Capaldi’s coat.
Sells for their coats increased by at least two fold with over half of the recent purchases made with the more expensive red silk lining. So while fans are still waiting for Doctor Who, they are enjoying the fact that they can at least look like him with his fashionable coat.
