It's the Doctor as Holmes - it comes full circle on so many levels (the influence, the era's love of pastiche, a foreshadowing of Tom's future role in Hound of the Baskervilles) and it just looks good on him. I've always wondered how, if it did come back, it would look on another Doctor? Any other Doctor that could pull it off?
Part of me, weirdly, imagines Six. I mean, he does have Holmes' arrogance and pride.

12 he has Holme’s power of deduction and alieness as well as being tall and lanky like Holmes and 4 are. I could see him wearing it in a story with the Paternoster Gang. It would be cool if he paired it with a Victorian steampunk version of the sonic sunglasses!

Not so weird, I think. Have a look at the outfit without the overcoat:  It rings very true to the Sixth Doctor in many ways. The waistcoat especially. I really like the cut of the jacket actually, that looks rather snug. It almost seems to conjure up that Jules Verne-like gentleman scientist figure from certain angles. On Sixie, I think you might get a roguish, safecracker sort of vibe without the Inverness coat. With it, he'd probably look like a member of the Royal Society of London returning from an expedition to the country. For other incarnations... Would it work for the more rugged Capaldi or Hurt? |

Its a bit like 4th usual outfit. Any Doctor after could wear it.

Three would carry it off with ease. Hat, cloak, commanding personality, "mighty nose".  He was UNIT's Holmes, the consulting scientific advisor, waiting for cases in his lab rather than Baker St, and the Brig. is his Watson.
In fact hat & cloak is how he started, albeit with a very different style of hat. (I think he looks great in 'Spearhead', they should have kept the hat!)

You meant to say they should've kept the Cloth Cap! Regards mark687 |

But I was thinking of the broad-brimmed hat.  That scene in the hospital, where he's in the full getup for the first time, looks in the mirror, adjust the hat and imo thinks: 'Maybe this regeneration isn't so bad after all?' The (Time) Lord of Style has landed! ( Such a contrast with Two: 'Fancypants!' ' Scarecrow!'  ) |

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Aside from the deerstalker, it isn’t much different to 11’s later getup.

That aligns with my thoughts rather well. I think, also, curls suit the deerstalker rather well - maybe it adds a bohemian touch that fits Holmes. 3's bouffant is maybe a little too big to work with it, outside of maybe S7.
In so far as others, I've mulled on how ia female version would look - I'm struggling to see 13 in it, if only because the cloak is a little bulky around the shoulders and she's someone who really throws her arms and hands out a lot. RuthDoc maybe, but I feel like a purple coat would work better than a red one. An elegant, subdued purple.

I could definitely see that for the Ruth!Doctor. Something in the shade and tones of what Romana wears in The Androids of Tara, perhaps.  That overcoat feels almost as prominent as the Fourth Doctor's scarf. You could see him walking down the gaslit streets in the fog, like this stalking owl, and almost instantaneously recognise the outline. I do like how simply it says: "I've been abroad," as he wears it, but... Yeah, it'd be too overpowering for someone without the reserved, boxy shoulders needed to keep it sweeping along. The deerstalker itself, though, feels very much like a Thirteenth Doctor touch. Something she'd wear as a conversation starter. I think it'd be much more likely for her to show up in something that could be worn by Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice or Ioan Grufford in Hornblower. The Romantic leading man's apparel. Sensible pants with a hip-length, manoeuvrable coat, something practical that could be worn for cross-country. The Teresa Moreno look:  |
