Interesting materials


Now I don't like everything David Tennant does stylistically. He has a tendency, for instance, to wear his clothes (jackets especially) a bit large for elegance (which is forgivable when he's the Doctor. One has enough trouble saving the universe without restrictions on arm movements...) but generally he's one of the best young examples out there, especially for mixing casual and formal.

That said, I find myself wondering and wondering what his suit is made of. I've heard it suggested that it's a very lightweight wool, and that makes sense, I suppose, but at the same time, the look and rumple just isn't quite right. I've thought about cotton, but then the colors seem wrong, and I've thought about linen/cotton, but then the rumple seems off... it's strange. It seems like a very natural material, synthetics certainly don't rumple that way...

It's curious. I suppose this makes me odd. Oh well.
