I think Jenny Beavan did them really well. They handled hats well because hats are unpopular with cameramen of course because they cast shadows. Obviously with our version it was very much ultra-modern, given all the technology in the story lines. I knew you were going ask that! It was from a little modern up-to-date shop off Carnaby Street - I cannot remember the name. It was another little find - it had that homely, slightly army-ish feel. Initially with Martin, we went to a big high street department store. I'd never met him before and didn't realise that Martin himself was very stylish - very subtle, but he wears clothes so well.

Popular urban fantasy hero Harry Dresden of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher replaced his trademark duster with an Inverness coat in Cold Days, the 14th book of the series. His suit was Vivienne Westwood. Westwood can be very extreme but this wasn't. Originally I think in the script it was another make, but the suit was just perfect for him and the colour was different and unusual.
