Colin Bridgerton Wardrobe Statistics 🧵
Hello all, welcome to the Waistcoast edition of the statistical analysis of Colin Bridgerton's wardrobe!
Today we will be looking at every waistcoat Colin wears in the show and how often he wears them.

@eboyanti
If I were Ed, I'd be pulling every Glee Mashup out as evidence that two songs that don't sound anything alike can still mesh well into one song
Still the most shocking thing this show ever did was highkey imply that if Pen married Debling, she and Colin would have an affair and that it was viewed as inevitable, like damn 😳
#PolinWeekRewatch
The show literally went out of it way to show what Whistledown would be if someone like the Cowper's wrote it, it would be mean and vindictive and without basis
Penelope was never cruel in her words, in fact the person she was most cruel to was herself.
@taylorisloved13
It is likely that she spends a lot of her time in the UK now, which has strict laws about paparazzi, thanks to them playing a part in the death of Princess Diana
@katiectalksalot
Because they haven't actually read the book and just regurgitate things told to them whether true or not. They heard pen lost weight and went "must be skinny now" even though the book still states otherwise
@CarineK
So many people don't realize the Fearless isn't her first album so I'm not shocked. They think she exploded on to the scene overnight, ignoring the grind she did to get her name out there with that first record
If Julia Quinn was smart, she and Shonda should pair up to write and publish show!Colin's journal, including all his thought about Penelope lol. I'd buy it
@blessedswifty
Taylor's reaction makes a lot of sense in hindsight now that we know about her ED. Of course, she would be defensive about weight and slime body types at that time.
Colin just shouting "Pen!" in front of all the mamas and shoving those men out of the way lol... i wonder how many people learned they were engaged and looked back at these moment and wenr "well, makes sense"
#PolinWeekRewatch
#they
put out multiple "pr" statements trying to distance themselves from the disgusting hate and fatphobia their fandom spewed for the last two years and it didn't take a day before they were back on that bullshit... just goes to show how performative those statements were
@my_old_scarf
The whole reason his Insta was banned was cause he was telling people exactly when she left and update them every step of the way. Like there's no need for all that if it is just about climate
Also, they do wonders for us deaf and hard-of-hearing fans who can have a hard time learning lyrics by audio alone. Lyric videos are a godsend and every artist should do them
@penbridgert0n
That while messy, drawn out and quiet, Colin's reaction to the Whistledown secret was so incredibly human.
Like he loves her but he's angry, frustrated, jealous, scared and he has to grapple with that. Just like a real person would.
The Queen beefing with Whistledown entirely because of what Pen doesnt do, like it all started cause Pen didnt report on her garden party in s1 cause she wasnt invited lol
#PolinWeekRewatch
@Rach_elle619
Because they think accountability is based on public shaming/their opinion and not the person learning and growing... people are so quick to let one mistake define an entire person even when they've put in the work to amend for and acknowledge those mistakes
@steponmetay
@taylorswift13
She probably doesn't want to look like she is using serious political issues to promote her album.
If she speaks, people might take it that way
@babywhistledwn
"Bad day for them" but we aren't the ones who spend a casting announcement day focusing on an entirely different couple that we claim to hate... like why we in your thoughts at all lol
@sassygayroot
I thank them for their service, especially since it added proof that this wasnt a Taylor only issue and had happened before and TM had still done nothing to fix it
@tslove1389
I wonder if this is part of her grammy strategy, showcase everyone who was involved in the album. Because AofY goes to everyone who worked on an album so this could be Taylor saying dont focus on me and my two wins, look who else worked on this and deserves the award. 1/2
It is sad that 20 years later, Colin Bridgerton is still right. Just because Penelope isnt the ideal standard of beauty, everything she does is villianized
@scnsualpolitics
And all these think piece show is why she was named person of the year. Cause haters can't keep her name out of their mouths and just fuel more talk about her. It isn't just positive discussion that gets you on that list, it is overall discussion
BONUS - san waistcoat part 1
Colin appears sans waistcoat 9 times during s3, in varying stages of undress. Here is every time he appears without a waistcoat, for your viewing pleasure
Top Left: 3x01
Top Right: 3x02
Bottom Left: 3x03
Bottom Right: both 3x04
Colin with his family: i lost count of how many places i went
Colin with Pen: i went to 17 cities this summer
Shes the only one he is willing to be open with at this point 😫😫🥺
#PolinWeekRewatch
Controversial opinion: if you stop liking a ship *just* because the plot around the ship changed in adaptation, then you werent really a fan of the ship.
You liked the tropes, not the characters
@chaoticguitar
What does Colin say in response to Benedict at the beginning? My hearing impairment kicking my butt lol. I think he says “Lady Featherington… “ but after that I’m lost
@RompRomance
I'm guessing all the long episodes are in the back half. The episode with the wedding feels like it should be like 70 mins at least.
I wonder if they did that cause they didn't need to introduce us to pen and colin unlike the others and the wd drama is where it is needed
My polin hyperfixation doesn't seem like it will be going away anytime soon lol. I'm still gonna be consuming all the art, edits, and fics for many more months lol.
Worn 5 times: and here we are! Colin wears this waistcoat a total of 5 separate times in s3, the most of any in the show (so far)
Top Left: 3x01
Top Right: 3x02
Bottom Left: 3x04
Bottom Right: 3x05 and 3x06
That nod Colin gives Penelope remains one of my favorite moments of the whole show. In that moment, he conveys to her that no matter how angry or frustrated he is, he wants to marry her because his love is stronger than all other emotions he might have
#PolinWeekRewatch
@sassygayroot
And then Taylor was like, please I haven't even been playing to my full strength and proceeded to absolutely demolish every album released in the last 5 years sales with Midnights. She said 800k, that's cute. Here is what I can really pull if I try
@trued3vilstan
@NewRoRo_A
The amount of people who tried to discredit her sexual assault just because they didn't like her was astonishing to me. Just because it happened to Taylor, suddenly it was ok/not that serious.
And that concluded the Waistcoat edition of the Colin Bridgerton Wardrobe Statistics!
Please feel free to use this data in any way that you'd like, I was just curious enough to compile it all.
See you next time for the Cravat Edition (coming soonish lol)
@redligion
Everyday it get more and more obvious that some fans treat her like a puppet they can control and when she doesn't do exactly what they want as quickly as they want it (even if it is the proper response to a legal situation), they turn on her
@tslove1389
It is definitely a different campaign than everyone else's which are focused on the main artists front and center, putting the spotlight solely on them. It is a unique way to go about this, let's hope it works. 2/2

@eboyanti
I'm a musical girl, so I loved the performances lol. For a period of time, I was just tuning into iTunes for the songs and not the show haha
