Yes. In America, we call waistcoats "vests." Absolute nonsense, really, as they are garments which act like a coat, but cover your waist and very little else.
But, being a bunch of Colonials turned Rebels, we have to change some bits of language with the Mother country, or else how else could anyone tell us apart. That's why we call "zed" "zee," instead. <-Trufax.
Oh, and looking at that new costume, the more I realize why it looks so familiar: it's almost exactly how my favorite English professor dressed, when I was a freshmen in college. If only Eleven had thinning white hair that flew out in all directions, it would be perfect.

In short: I approve.
