It's UP!

And it's very sadly not mine. Much woe there.

This coat, actually: http://www.badgercomics.com/subproduct_info.php/Apparel_Other/DOCTOR_WHO_TENTH_DOCTORS_COAT_SM/ukv/1/products_id/AUG091415 From AbbyShot. I look good in brown. :)

I don't do brown, and am 5'1", so I would probably look asinine.

Now what I have had my eye on from them for some time is the GIG Shrug.

Heh. I can't do blue or pink, and black is a stretch. *grins* I'm 5'6" (5'8" in really tall boots), so I could prolly do the length ok or have it hemmed, but I'm a bit on the small side, and the smallest size is a men's small. Hrm. *wonders how it would alter*

I don't think I could pull off the GIG Shrug. It's cute, though.

*wonders how it would alter*

If you had someone you trusted to do sleeve alterations properly (i.e., by pulling the stitching out of the shoulders and hoisting up the sleeves), I would think it could do just fine. AbbyShot's quality is reportedly high-grade. And I can't imagine hemming would be any sort of a problem at all.

I imagine I'd have to have it taken in as well. I have a good tailor (he's Italian and lovely), but he's expensive for a reason. I imagine the alterations would add another hundred to the price of the coat. *ponders*

If you're seriously considering doing this, you might want to talk to him about what doing those sorts of alterations might cost, especially since it'll be done in microsuede or some other slightly odd fabric if they're trying to be accurate. The original is made out of upholstery-grade material.

He's amazing and I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem (he can do leather!), but yeah - prolly a good idea to email the company and find out some specs on the materials first.
