It seemed about time for another Who-spiration post!!!! Thus, here I am!
Jon Pertwee, the most suave and gentleman-like of all the doctors, was known as the Dandy Doctor due to his assortment of gentleman-like costumes,
Quoting the first Doctor, describing the second and third doctors:
"A dandy and a clown!"He always had plush jackets, beautifully tailored shirts with ruffles and cravats or bowties in tasteful colour combinations. I borrowed the collage from Mel at The Follybird, whose link and idea this was, in which you can see an assortment that I would gladly wear:
Fabrics seem thick- velvet, a particular favourite and of course, a cape! The trousers, by comparison, seem very plain and your eye is not really drawn to them.
I paid most homage to the outfit in the middle 2 images of the bottom row, where he sports a sort of olive-velvet jacket.
Everything, except the boots (not really visible) was thrifted over the years from various charity-shops. The cordhuroy blazer and trousers originally Per Una at M&S and the frilly-shirt from Laura Ashley.
The jacket colour is pretty-much spot on though not really clear from this photo. I'd love a shirt with ruffly sleeves like his!
To add another layer of warmth I added my Wind-up bird cape (present from CBC) and added a tweed trilby from Primark (yeh, you haven't seen this hat before. Keep quiet, let's not draw attention to another new hat)
Here's the Laura Ashley shirt a bit closer (sorry, it was creased after a day of school and of course, I wore a cardie underneath in this weather! I can't wait to iron this one. What a right pain it will be (that'll mean it shall lie dormant on my spare-bed for months)
I'd like to try another Jon Pertwee outfit at a later date, I have more ideas, but what do you rckon? If you were to put together an outfit inspired by him with your current wardrobe, what would you wear???

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I should really do my Tom Baker at the weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! your cape, jacket and blouse are especially lovely :) x
ReplyDeleteOh Kezzie you look fabulous. This is one of my favourite outfits of yours. I love the victorian style blouse and the rich velvet cord jackets. I love me some Victoriana in wintertime. I didn't really watch Dr Who but I do remember Jon Pertwee as Wurzel Gummage! xxx
ReplyDeleteI loved Jon Pertwee's clothes, particularly the velvet and ruffles. Velvet jackets I can do - there are currently about 4 velvet jackets in the wardrobe here and I believe there is till a wine coloured one in the wardrobe there. You could always try it for one of your JP stints of modelling.I don't think my green cloak would count!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tribute! Jon Pertwee was the doctor I grew up with and I remember his style well, you've done a brilliant job of interpreting him, who doesn't love a ruffle, cape and touch of velvet? x
ReplyDeleteaww I love that grey cardi with the hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my blog I will try and do some more outfit posts xx
I love the outfit, especially with the cape and hat but then again I've been a sucker for women in 'masculine' clothes ever since I first saw Annie Hall. Love the hat...hats are the best!
