A '''hat''' was an article of clothing worn on the top of the head.


== The Doctor's hats ==
== Fashion ==
Throughout the majority of his lifetimes, [[the Doctor]] wore a hat on a regular or semi-regular basis. Only a minority of incarnations — the [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth]], [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]], [[Ninth Doctor|Ninth]] and [[Tenth Doctor]]s — never showed a particular interest in hats.
[[Stella Bopbates]] was famous for designing hats around the year [[200100|200,100]]. [[Rose Tyler]] was asked this on the [[Satellite Five|Game Station]]'s version of ''[[The Weakest Link]]''. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
=== First Doctor ===
[[file:HartnellHeadOn.jpg|thumb|left|The [[First Doctor]] wearing a [[wikipedia:karakul (hat)|karakul]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The War Machines]]'')]]
The [[First Doctor]]'s usual hat of choice was a [[wikipedia:karakul (hat)|karakul]], a triangular hat often associated with [[Afghanistan]], or what one account called an "oddly shaped fur hat". ([[DWN]]: ''[[Doctor Who and an Unearthly Child]]'') It was this hat he was wearing when he met [[Barbara Wright]] and [[Ian Chesterton]], as well as during his first adventure with [[Ben Jackson]] and [[Polly Wright]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'', ''[[The War Machines]]'') However, he was also known to possess a kind of [[wikipedia:Panama hat|Panama hat]], which he wore in hotter climes. For instance, he was seen to don an apparently white Panama when he was on the hunt for the [[Dalek]]s' [[taranium]] in [[Egypt]]. ([[DW]]: "[[Escape Switch]]")


This incarnation was not averse to occasionally playing dress-up. When in [[French Revolution|Revolutionary]] [[France]], he obtained period-appropriate wardrobe. Because the costume was that of a regional official, his hat was particularly elaborate, bearing a strong resemblance to an early [[18th century]] French army officer's hat. ([[DW]]: "[[A Change of Identity]]")
== Worn by the Doctor ==
{{main|The Doctor's hats}}
In many of their lifetimes, [[the Doctor]] wore [[The Doctor's hats|hats]], either as occasional style or as regular attire.


=== Second Doctor ===
The [[First Doctor]] was wearing his favoured hat, an [[Astrakhan]], when he met his first human companions, [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)}}) The [[Second Doctor]] had an early tendency to don and remark upon any hat he came across in the course of an adventure. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Highlanders (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Underwater Menace (TV story)}})
[[file:SecondScottishLook.jpg|thumb|The [[Second Doctor]] in a [[wikipedia:Tam o' Shanter (cap)|Tam o' Shanter]] that he happened to find in [[Scotland]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Highlanders]]'')]]
Early on, the [[Second Doctor]] was particularly obsessed by hats. One of his very first acts after [[regeneration]] was to rummage through a trunk in [[the TARDIS]] to find a [[stovepipe hat]] to wear. He wore the hat throughout his first adventure on [[Vulcan]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks]]'')


He sometimes uttered the phrase, "I would like a hat like that (or this)" if he saw a hat he particularly fancied. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Highlanders]]'') In fact, when he arrived in [[Scotland]] in the [[18th century]], he happened across a [[wikipedia:Tam o' Shanter (cap)|Tam o' Shanter]] on a field of battle, and immediately donned it. Later in the same adventure, he wore a [[British Army]] [[wikipedia:tricorn|tricorn]] as a disguise.
[[File:HandsupDaleks.png|thumb|left|The [[Fourth Doctor]] covers a [[Dalek]]'s [[eyestalk]] with his hat ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Brief History of the Daleks (short story)}})]]
Later, the [[Fourth Doctor]] had a particular hat, a [[fedora]], which he wore quite regularly, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Robot (TV story)}} et al.) and the [[Fifth Doctor|Fifth]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Castrovalva (TV story)}}) and [[Seventh Doctor]]s ([[TV]]: {{cs|Time and the Rani (TV story)}} et al.) both favoured [[panama hat]]s, each to their own style.


On a trip to [[Atlantis]], he continued to show his penchant for disguise, and temporarily wore a gypsy headdress to appear as a merchant. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Underwater Menace]]'')
On noticing the Fifth Doctor actually kept a hat on his [[hatstand]] in [[the TARDIS]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] noted that he couldn't remember the last time he actually wore a hat. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Gates of Hell (audio story)}})


However, he seemed to "grow out of" hats as he matured, mostly abandoning hats altogether after Atlantis. Some accounts, however, insisted that he continued wearing the stovepipe hat on a very regular basis, even up to the time that he travelled with [[Zoe Heriot]]. ([[TVC]]: Most stories; [[DWAN]]: Most stories)
[[File:11th Doctor wearing a Fez.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Eleventh Doctor]] in a [[fez]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}})]]
:''It's unclear why [[World Distributors (Manchester), Ltd|World Distributors]] and [[Polystyle Publications, Ltd.|Polystyle]] continued to portray him with a stovepipe, when he actually only wore a stovepipe in ''[[The Power of the Daleks]]''.''
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] would later find renewed enthusiasm in hats, which he would regularly pick up and don in an adventure, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)}}, {{cs|Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)}}) like the Second Doctor. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Daleks (TV story)}} et al.) The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] also expressed fondness for [[fez]]zes, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kerblam! (TV story)}}) a particular favourite for the Eleventh Doctor. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}}, {{cs|A Christmas Carol (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})
=== Third Doctor ===
Like his predecessor, the [[Third Doctor]] almost immediately donned a hat after his regeneration cycle ended. He found a [[wikipedia:trilby|trilby]] amongst a physician's clothes at the [[Ashbridge Cottage Hospital]]. When he tried it on, and looked in a mirror, he seemed to give it a look of approval. ([[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'') However, he only briefly wore it and generally was without a hat for the rest of his life.
=== Fourth Doctor ===
[[file:Sombrero.jpg|thumb|left|The Fourth Doctor's [[sombrero]]. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Star Beast]]'')]]
Just like his previous selves, the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s initial clothing instincts were to reach for a hat after his regeneration.  However, his outfit was supplied entirely from [[the TARDIS]]' wardrobe.  He tried on a number of different outfits, most of them with hats.  Amongst the rejected hats were a [[Viking]] helmet and a tall [[clown]]'s hat. Eventually he settled on a fairly wide-brimmed [[wikipedia:fedora|fedora]].  Unlike the two incarnations before him, however, he fairly consistently used this fedora, or ones very like it, throughout his life.


On occasion, he substituted another hat, such as when he, too, donned a [[wikipedia:Tam o' Shanter (hat)|Tam o' Shanter]] whilst in [[Scotland]],  ([[DW]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons]]'') or when he wore a [[sombrero]] when he thought he was arriving in [[Benidorm]], [[Spain]]. ([[DWM]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Star Beast]]'')
== Worn by companions ==
Some of the Doctor's [[companion]]s also wore hats on a regular or occasional basis.


=== Fifth Doctor ===
[[File:Teazer.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ben Jackson]] in his Royal Navy cap. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Machines (TV story)}})]]
Like the incarnation before him, the [[Fifth Doctor]] had a regular hat, which he wore throughout his life. From his first adventure, he carried with him a roll-up [[wikipedia:Panama hat|Panama hat]], with a hat band of the same colours as the rest of his outfit. He tended to wear it upon first exiting [[the TARDIS]] in a new location, but often quickly rolled it up and put it back in his jacket.
Those companions attached to [[UNIT]] or other armed forces wore hats as a part of their uniforms. [[Ben Jackson]]'s sailor's cap, for instance, identified him as a member of the crew of the [[HMS Teazer|HMS ''Teazer'']]. UNIT officers, like [[the Brigadier]] and [[Captain]] [[Mike Yates]], most often wore a rigid, green-and-red officer's cap, similar to the [[British Army]]. [[Surgeon-Lieutenant]] [[Harry Sullivan]]'s black, white and gold hat — otherwise quite similar to the standard Army issue — betrayed his secondment from the [[Royal Navy]]. [[Sergeant]] [[John Benton]] most often wore a beret in the field. Indeed, UNIT soldiers and officers alike wore [[beret]]s in the field. Over the years, the standard-issue UNIT field beret changed from chocolate brown ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}) to khaki green ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) to [[United Nations]] blue ([[TV]]: {{cs|Battlefield (TV story)}}) to red. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Planet of the Dead (TV story)}})
=== Seventh Doctor ===
Like the Fifth Doctor, the [[Seventh Doctor]] also had a [[wikipedia:Panama hat|Panama hat]], though it was of a different design to that worn by his fifth self. Of all the Docotr's incarnations, however, the Seventh tended to wear his hat on almost all occasions.  He was very rarely seen without it.


=== Eighth Doctor ===
{{video|The Doctor Meets Tegan - Doctor Who - Logopolis - BBC|thumb|[[Tegan Jovanka]] stumbles into [[the TARDIS]] in her [[stewardess]] uniform. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Logopolis (TV story)}})}}
The [[Eighth Doctor]] did not typically wear a hat, but he did very rarely dabble with one, if he felt it was period- and/or place-appropriate.  For instance, he once emerged from [[the TARDIS]] wearing a [[fez]] when he believed he had materialised in [[Egypt]]. ([[DWM]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'') When visiting the [[Sioux]] Nation, he briefly wore a hat similar to that used by the [[United States Calvalry]]. ([[DWM]]: ''[[Bad Blood (comic story)|Bad Blood]]'')
Although not in the military, a couple of companions nevertheless had headwear that was a part of a uniform. [[Tegan Jovanka]] had a triangular cloth cap as a part of her stewardess' uniform, but she largely abandoned its use after meeting the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Adric]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Logopolis (TV story)}}) Likewise, while [[Nyssa|Nyssa of Traken]] was "in uniform" as a [[Trakenite]] royal, she wore a tiara. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Keeper of Traken (TV story)}})


=== Eleventh Doctor ===
These exceptions aside, most companions simply didn't wear hats on anything like a regular basis. A few wore the ''occasional'' hat strictly as a fashion accessory, often whimsical.
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] was fond of a variety of hats.


While in the [[National Museum]], the Eleventh Doctor found a [[fez]] which he became very fond of. The fez was later removed by [[Amy Pond|Amy Pond and]] destroyed by [[River Song]]. He sought another fez after this. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Big Bang|The Big Bang,]] ''[[DW]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
In both her incarnations, [[Romana]] was fond of wearing hats. [[Romana I]] wore a [[flat cap]] on her first visit to [[Earth]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Stones of Blood (TV story)}}) and an elaborate purple-and-green hat that was "what everyone... [was] wearing" on [[Tara (planet)|Tara]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Androids of Tara (TV story)}}) [[Romana II]] briefly toyed with wearing the Fourth Doctor's fedora after her [[regeneration]]. She later wore a [[boater]] when [[punt]]ing in [[Cambridge]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}) and a straw sun hat whilst on a beach. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Leisure Hive (TV story)}})


The Eleventh Doctor acquired a [[Stetson]] hat from [[Craig Owens]].([[DW]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'') He was last seen wearing it inside the'' [[Teselecta]]''. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song]]'').
[[File:SJS hat.jpg|thumb|left|[[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] wearing a hat while visiting the [[National Institute for Advanced Scientific Research]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Robot (TV story)}})]]
[[Liz Shaw]] generally didn't go in for hats, but did once wear a white, broad-brimmed hat to drive [[Bessie]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}) Likewise, [[Sarah Jane Smith]] was mostly hat-less but did wear a casual spring hat whilst investigating the [[National Institute for Advanced Scientific Research]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Robot (TV story)}})


The Eleventh Doctor owned a top hat, which he wore at Amy and [[Rory Williams|Rory]]'s wedding, after having been poisoned by River ([[DW]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler]]'') and again to conceal a device that allowed him to lure the [[Squall]] back into their dimension of origin ([[NSA]]: ''[[Paradox Lost]]'').
