Wild Bill Hickok

Ted was going to go to a New Year's Eve party in 1999 dressed as Wild Bill Hickok, until the Eighth Doctor stole the costume from Ted's locker and adopted it as his regular outfit. (TV: Doctor Who)

The Doctor continued to wear the costume or similar ones. Julius Otago thought that he was trying for a Lord Byron look which he said would be tragic if it didn't impress the ladies. After correcting him, the Doctor informed Julius that he hadn't had any complaints. (COMIC: Children of the Revolution)

In an alternative timeline, the Fourth Doctor correctly identified it as a Wild Bill Hickok outfit. The Eighth Doctor commented that most people believed that he was a Lord Byron costume. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)

Behind the scenes
