Sixth Doctor's coat

Throughout his life, the Sixth Doctor wore a multicoloured coat.

It featured patches of red tartan, red, green, pink and maroon felt, peach wool, a woven back piece, checked collar and yellow and pink lapels, (TV: The Twin Dilemma) with a total of 76 different colour tones overall. (AUDIO: The Middle) The Tenth Doctor told Gabby Gonzalez that the coat was "at the height of sartorial elegance". (COMIC: Laundro-Room of Doom) The Eleventh Doctor told Clara Oswald that his patchwork coat was "made for a spectrum invisible to the human eye", and that he had won an award for it. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand)

The coat was the subject of much ridicule, with people often mocking it, (TV: The Twin Dilemma, AUDIO: The Carrionite Curse) with Mel Bush and Peri Brown each thinking that it resembled "an explosion in a paint factory", (PROSE: Instruments of Darkness; AUDIO: An Eye For Murder) although the Doctor insisted that there were places where his coat was considered the "height of fashion". (PROSE: Palace of the Red Sun)

The coat was the height of fashion on Kolpasha, (PROSE: Instruments of Darkness) which in turn dictated fashion across almost 500 planets. (COMIC: Victims) The Sixth Doctor sometimes mentioned that his coat came from Kolpasha. (PROSE: Business Unusual, Spiral Scratch, AUDIO: Real Time, Year of the Pig, The Carrionite Curse) The Fourth Doctor once tried on a coat like that of the Sixth Doctor's while visiting Kolpasha, remarking, "No-one would ever be seen out in public dressed like this." (COMIC: Victims)

The bright colourful nature of his coat helped the Sixth Doctor fight certain species: Kroton sensory systems were jammed by it (PROSE: Alien Bodies) and Terravores were visually over-stimulated to the point of unconciousness. (AUDIO: The Crimes of Thomas Brewster)
