[[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)}})

== 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.
== The Doctor's hats ==
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)}})
In the majority of their lifetimes, [[the Doctor]] wore a hat on a regular or semi-regular basis. The incarnations that showed no particular interest in hats were the [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth]], [[War Doctor|War]], [[Ninth Doctor|Ninth]], [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Twelfth Doctor]]s.
=== First Doctor ===
[[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.
The [[First Doctor]]'s usual hat of choice was an [[Astrakhan]], or what one account called an "oddly shaped fur hat". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and an Unearthly Child (novelisation)|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 and at the start and end of his last adventures with [[Ben Jackson]] and [[Polly Wright]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'', ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'', ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'', ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') However, he also possessed a kind of [[Panama hat]], which he wore in hotter climes. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'') He donned a white Panama hat when he was on the hunt for the [[Dalek]]s' [[taranium]] in [[Egypt]] and while sunbathing on the planet [[Aridius]]. ([[TV]]: "[[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. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Reign of Terror (TV story)|The Reign of Terror]]'')
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)}})
=== Second Doctor ===
[[File:11th Doctor wearing a Fez.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Eleventh Doctor]] in a [[fez]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}})]]
[[File:SecondScottishLook.jpg|thumb|The [[Second Doctor]] in a hat that he happened to find in [[Scotland]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Highlanders (TV story)|The Highlanders]]'')]]
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)}})
Early on, the [[Second Doctor]] was particularly obsessed with 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 (The Power of the Daleks)|Vulcan]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (TV story)|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. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (TV story)|The Power of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Highlanders (TV story)|The Highlanders]]'') In fact, when he arrived in [[Scotland]] in the [[18th century]], he happened across a hat on a field of battle and immediately donned it. Later in the same adventure, he wore a [[British Army]] [[tricorn]] as a disguise.
== Worn by companions ==
Some of the Doctor's [[companion]]s also wore hats on a regular or occasional basis.
On a trip to [[Atlantis]], he briefly returned to the stovepipe but continued to show his penchant for disguise by temporarily donning a gypsy headdress to appear as a merchant. It was here, too, that [[Polly Wright|Polly]] noted his fondness for hats. When he began enthusiastically eating food made of [[plankton]], the Doctor's praise was effusive. When [[Ben Jackson|Ben]] wondered why the Doctor was so excited, Polly replied, "I don't know. I've never seen him go for ''food'' like this before. It's usually hats." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Underwater Menace (TV story)|The Underwater Menace]]'')
[[File:Teazer.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ben Jackson]] in his Royal Navy cap. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Machines (TV story)}})]]
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)}})
After being turned temporary into a [[Androgum]], both he and [[Shockeye of the Quawncing Grig|Shockeye]] wore top hats when they were going to eat. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'')
{{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)}})}}
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)}})
=== Third 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.
Like his predecessor, the [[Third Doctor]] almost immediately donned a hat after his regeneration. He found a [[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. However, he wore it for only a short time and generally was without a hat. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'' onwards)
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)}})
=== Fourth Doctor ===
[[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)}})]]
[[File:Sombrero.jpg|thumb|left|The Fourth Doctor's [[sombrero]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Star Beast (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Star Beast]]'')]]
[[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)}})
Just like his previous selves, the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s initial clothing instincts were to reach for a hat after his regeneration. His outfit was supplied entirely from the [[TARDIS wardrobe]] and he tried on a variety of outfits, most of them with hats. Amongst the rejected hats were a [[Viking]] helmet and a tall [[clown]]'s hat. Finally he settled on a wide-brimmed [[brown]] [[fedora]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'') Unlike in his two previous incarnations however, he used this hat fairly consistently for a period of his life, before replacing it with [[green]] [[felt]] fedora. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'') Over time, he began to use the two hats alternately, until he replaced them both with a [[Burgundy (colour)|burgundy]] felt fedora. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Leisure Hive (TV story)|The Leisure Hive]]'')
On occasion, he substituted his regular hat with another, such as when he donned a [[tam o' shanter]] whilst in [[Scotland]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons (TV story)|Terror of the Zygons]]'') a [[sombrero]] when he thought he was arriving in [[Benidorm]], [[Spain]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Star Beast (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Star Beast]]'') a [[deerstalker]] while visiting Victorian London to go along with his [[Sherlock Holmes]]-styled outfit, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Talons of Weng-Chiang (TV story)|The Talons of Weng-Chiang]]'') and a [[bowler hat]] whilst investigating [[Fang Rock lighthouse]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Horror of Fang Rock (TV story)|Horror of Fang Rock]]'')
== Others ==
[[Tom Cardwell]] wore a [[tin foil hat]], which according to [[Lucie Miller]], was "not a good sign at all". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Blood of the Daleks (audio story)}})
=== Fifth Doctor ===
Like his previous incarnation, the [[Fifth Doctor]] had a regular hat. From his first adventure, he carried with him a roll-up [[Panama hat]] with a hatband of the same colours as the rest of his outfit. ([[TV]]: ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'') He tended to wear it upon first exiting [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] in a new location, but often quickly rolled it up and put it back in his jacket.
=== Seventh Doctor ===
[[File:Seventh Doctor Remembrance of the Daleks.jpg|thumb|right|The Seventh Doctor's Panama hat ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')]]
Like the Fifth Doctor, the [[Seventh Doctor]] also wore a Panama hat, though it was of a different design, with a red Paisley hatband. He wore it regularly, even when indoors. He initially wore an extensively battered hat, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' - ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'') but replaced it with a much less damaged example prior to his encounter with the [[Dalek]]s in [[1963]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') He typically removed it from his head to greet others or in respect of someone recently deceased. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' - ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') When he took to wearing a darker jacket, he also changed his hatband into a subtly darker one. ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'')
Whilst in the vault underneath [[Windsor Castle]] in [[1988]], he briefly donned a [[fez]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')
After his [[regeneration]] in [[San Francisco]] on [[31 December]] [[1999]], the amnesiac [[Eighth Doctor]] ransacked the lockers of the hospital staff for a new outfit. He decided against the Stetson that went with the "[[Wild Bill Hickok]]" costume which he chose to steal. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')
The Doctor once emerged from the TARDIS wearing a fez when he believed that he had materialised in [[Egypt]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Nightmare Game]]'')
On another occasion, when visiting the [[Lakota Sioux]] Nation in [[1875]], he wore a [[Stetson]] which was given to him by [[Samuel Clemens]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bad Blood (comic story)|Bad Blood]]'')
=== Tenth Doctor ===
The [[Tenth Doctor]] showed little interest in hats. He did once, near the end of his life, briefly sport a fez that fell out of a [[time fissure]], before it was snatched off of his head by [[Eleventh Doctor|his future self]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
Soon afterwards, he also wore a straw hat, along with sunglasses and a [[lei]], implying he had just finished a relaxing time at a beach. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') He also donned a [[sombrero]] on the beaches of [[Centuria]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Power of the Cybermen (comic story)|The Power of the Cybermen]]'')
=== Eleventh Doctor ===
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] wore a variety of hats, seeking to acquire unique ones. Much like he did during his [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]], he possessed a rather obsessive desire to wear a hat; he would get distracted by a hat he liked even while running away from enemies. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[The Curse of the Black Spot (TV story)|The Curse of the Black Spot]]'') He considered damaging a hat to be offensive. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]'') Unfortunately for him, [[River Song]] did not share his taste in hats, at least twice shooting them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
[[File:11th Doctor wearing a Fez.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Eleventh Doctor]] tries out his fez. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')]]
While in the [[National Museum]], he found a fez of which he became instantly fond of. He would claim, like his bow ties, that "fezzes are cool". The fez was later removed by [[Amy Pond]] and destroyed by [[River Song]]. Undeterred, he noted to himself that it would be easy to buy another one. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') He wore another fez while acting as an extra in a film which [[Rory Williams|Rory]] and [[Amy Pond|Amy]] were watching, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'') and even acquired one previously owned by his old pal [[Albert Einstein]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death Is the Only Answer (TV story)|Death Is the Only Answer]]'') He later wore one on a Christmas trip with [[Kazran Sardick]] and [[Abigail Pettigrew]] to Egypt ([[TV]]: ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'') and had one in [[2013]] [[London]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'') When he and [[Clara Oswald]] investigated the [[National Gallery]], he spotted a fez inside a display case and immediately put it on. When Clara noticed, she commented that one day, he was going to be able to just walk past a fez. The Doctor declared that was never going to happen. He later used it to test the safety of a [[time fissure]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') His obsession with obtaining a fez even lead the Doctor to place on order for one to ''[[Kerb!am]]''. ([[TV]]: ''[[Kerblam! (TV story)|Kerblam!]]'')
[[File:Stetson.jpg|thumb|The Eleventh Doctor relaxes in Utah with his Stetson. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')]]
The Doctor also showed a fondness for [[Stetson]]s, being given one by [[Craig Owens]] as a gift for his trip to [[Utah]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'') He wore his gift during his investigation to find out [[The First Question|why the Silence wanted him dead]]. The ''[[Teselecta]]'' copied the Stetson along with his form while impersonating him. The copied Stetson was shot off the copy's head by River. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]''/''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') On another occasion, the Doctor borrowed a Stetson that had been damaged by a shot fired by [[Kahler-Tek|the Gunslinger]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]'')
The Doctor also owned a [[top hat]], which he wore at Amy and [[Rory Williams|Rory]]'s wedding, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') after having been poisoned by River in [[Nazi]] [[Germany]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') and again to conceal a device that allowed him to lure the [[Squall]] back into their dimension of origin. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paradox Lost (novel)|Paradox Lost]]'') He also wore one as part of his Victorian Era clothing while brooding over the loss of Amy and Rory. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'')
While posing as [[Sherlock Holmes]], he also wore a [[deerstalker]] hat similar to the one his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]] had during a previous visit to Victorian London. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'') Later, the Doctor wore a [[bowler hat]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Crimson Horror (TV story)|The Crimson Horror]]'')
=== Twelfth Doctor ===
[[File:Twelve fedora.jpg|thumb|left|The Twelfth Doctor dons a fedora. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Gangland (comic story)|Gangland]]'')]]
The [[Twelfth Doctor]] did not usually wear a hat, but at [[Clara Oswald|Clara]]'s insistence donned a fedora when visiting [[Las Vegas]] in the 1960s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Gangland (comic story)|Gangland]]'') He also wore a top hat when visiting the [[Frost fair]]s with [[Bill Potts]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Thin Ice (TV story)|Thin Ice]]'')
=== Thirteenth Doctor ===
[[Graham O'Brien]] described the [[Cyber-helmet]] as a hat. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}})
The Thirteenth Doctor did not regularly wear hats, but she did briefly try on a [[fez]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Kerblam! (TV story)|Kerblam!]]'') She also briefly donned the [[witchfinder general]] hat belonging to [[James I|King James]]' previous [[witchfinder]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witchfinders (TV story)|The Witchfinders]]'')
== The companions' hats ==
[[Lucifer (Lucifer)|Lucifer]] wore a [[brown]] [[parka]] and [[black]] hat. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Mission: Find Lilith (webcast)}})
[[File:Teazer.jpg|thumb|[[Ben Jackson]] in his Royal Navy cap. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'')]]
