Doctor Who: The Main Inspiration Behind Each Doctor's Costume

13. The First Doctor

The very first incarnation of our beloved Time Lord wore a relatively "normal" costume when compared to some of the wildly eccentric looks seen later on, with a late Victorian-era style that perfectly matched his stern and no-nonsense personality.

The First Doctor's attire was provided by a theatrical costuming company called Nathans, making star William Hartnell one of the only Doctors whose entire outfit came from an outside source. His trousers were tapered to ensure the correct fit, and various accessories - a monocle, a cane, etc. - were added from time to time.

In addition, something that many fans might not be aware of is the fact that Hartnell wore a long white wig for the duration of his tenure, which made him look several years older than he actually was.
