I grew up watching Troughton and Pertwee, but loved Bakers incarnation
I always wanted the scarf and finally talked my wife into knitting it for me, it wouldnt be accurate to call it a labour of love, she hated every minute of it lol
The colours..... did some research and it seems when the original footage got transfered tfrom Pal to NTSC some of the colour got washed out in the process.

So i could have an as seen in the episodes scarf, or the brighter publicity shots version. I actually like the muted colours but went for the brighter one. Like the ones below

I used the season 12 pattern
I went for the frock coat seen in seeds of doom, horror of fang rock etc. Its not quite screen accurate but its recognisable to most people.
The boots are modified pirate boots and again not perfect, but they work with the rest of the costume.
Ive added a few shirts and other pants as well as brown brogue shoes for days when the boots are a bit OTT.
I have some white poets shirts that are almost right, but the lady who makes them for me is doing me a pair of much more accurate ones with cloth ties in the neck and cuffs as per the deadly assassin costume
Ive also made an accurate belt since this was taken
For a proper DW costuming event i shave the beard off, and tuck my hair up under the hat, have taken 1st prize in two events to date.
But if anyone knows of a good wig, Pls PM me. Just cant seem to find one, and i have a larger head (needed the XL indiana jones hat)
Im the same height as Tom, and have as he describes his own "teeth like tombstones" all i need is the hair lol

Color Shifting
First one must understand that Dr Who was a British TV show that was filmed
in the PAL color tv format. When it was sold in the US it was converted to NTSC.
This conversion is not always good on the color and results in color shifts and
washed out colors. One can see this by compairing snapshots with screenshots
