ABOUT THE FOURTH DOCTOR:
The Fourth Doctor, portrayed by Tom Baker, is one of the most iconic incarnations of the Doctor in Doctor Who. He appeared from 1974 to 1981, known for his long scarf, curly hair, and eccentric personality. Characterized by a whimsical nature and a mix of warmth and brooding intensity, he often displayed a strong moral compass and a capacity for righteous anger.
1. COAT – Begin your Tom Baker cosplay with his classic brown Pea coat.
2. SCARF – An absolute must-have is this officially licensed by the BBC Fourth Doctor scarf. There is also a larger version available if you want to go truly authentic.
3. WAISTCOAT – Next, you will need a retro-style plaid waistcoat like this one.
4. HAT – Almost as iconic as Baker’s multicolored scarf is his wide-brim hat.
5. NECKERCHIEF – Forget about ties and bowties, the Fourth Doctor knew that the neckerchief was the hottest accessory of his era.
6. PANTS – We recommend ordering a size up when getting your checkered dress pants to get that extra-baggy look.
7. SHOES – For footwear, you will want some slightly clunky looking dress shoes.
8. WIG – Finally, not all of us can be blessed with a frizzy afro like Baker’s so we will have to settle for this very similar wig.
Tom Baker is probably the most recognizable of all The Doctor’s from the classic era of Doctor Who TV.
From the oversized striped scarf to his wide brim hat and fetching pea coat, this is one of the most iconic looks to ever grace the small screen.
