He lost his RAF uniform with the TARDIS, fallen into the timestream. He had to create Captain Jack Harkness all over again.

How to become this man he had never met? He could imagine the Captain: strong, heroic, probably a pipe-smoker. No, strike that. No pipe, but get the right shoes and braces. Assemble himself from bits and pieces: David Niven, Clark Gable, Gregory Peck. A certain way of walking. A certain way of smiling – but the smile too had been left behind on the TARDIS.

He found the greatcoat in a consignment shop. Good condition.

Clothes make the man.
