The iconic scarf, worn during Tom Baker’s seven series [Episode 12 (1974-75) through Season 18 (1980-81)] tenure as the 4th Doctor Who, went through several iterations.
Costume designer James Acheson is credited with the original scarf design which when initially completed was 20 feet long.
The scarf worn by Baker for Season 18 and the remainder of his tenure was created by costume designer June Hudson and was supposedly the longest.
There is a whole lot more information about Doctor Who’s scarf at this site:
http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/
The costumes worn by each actor tasked with the role changed as the show progressed and the Doctor was “reincarnated“. The version shown here is based on the costume worn by Tom Baker (1974-81).
A jolly good website about Doctor Who and almost everything connected with the Doctor can be found at:

NB: Yes I know that this is not a furry artwork. Think of it more as inspirational art for your character’s next adventure. Lawrd knows that there are plenty of characters running around here on FA without costumes.

Oh man, Lionus! You KNEW I was a huge Dr Who fan! This is such a treat for me!
I remember watching an interview with Tom Baker once, and he could never understand his success.
"After I was cast as the Doctor, things just began to get odd. For example, I was on the Metro last night and...well...People were looking at me!"

That scarf is so iconic, it was actually parodied, in a book involving time travel, that was itself, a parody of Star Trek, the Next Generation. *Chcuckles* Say that five times fast. If I ever run across the book again, I'll tell you all about it, because it was seriously funny. On the more creative side, I did do this, a couple of years back: http://serin-wraith.deviantart.com/.....pace-216069370
Well if we get all adult about it, 99% of Science Fiction appears silly and childish-- until someone actually goes and does it. For example, Jules Verne postulated a “ship” that used the ‘power of the sun’ to travel under the ocean in 1850.
Ridiculous, right?
Well a hundred-and-four years after Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” was published, US Navy launched its first nuclear-power submarine, the “USS Nautilus”.
I wonder how many people ridiculed or more gently parodied Verne’s “fantasy”?
The Tardis is certainly as iconic as the Doctor’s scarf. Good job, Serath. I look at it and can almost hear that odd grinding noise that the blue call-box makes as it “travels” through time and space.

*laughing* Spot on!

(But personally I much more prefer that to some of the other Doctors’ grumpy or silly expressions/personalities)

*smiles* There were so many things that I could have included: the Tardis, K-9, a Darlak or two … but since this series is about the costumes the characters wore (like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6113267/ ) I limited myself here to just what the Doctor wore on-screen and the show’s background.
Come to think of it however, I could do a costume sheet for K-9.

The writing and acting for the show made up for its limited budget and its 1970’s production style. For example, the special effects for an object-in-space were not computer generated but models hung from black strings in front of a black cloth). Any movement of the models tended to make them slightly bounce.
The show, like the weekly serials in theatres back in the 1930’s, relied on the audience’s willingness to over-look those flaws and join in with the fun -- which as you can see here from the comments, many people did.

I've knit two and a half scarves already (had to unravel the epic Season 18 one a third of the way through because I'd completely screwed up the edges). Wanting a Tom Baker scarf for myself was the whole reason I learned to knit in the first place! Little did I know it was like crack for the fingers and I'd soon be knitting more scarves, and learning to crochet so I could have little plush Daleks... XD
*laughs* Oh that must have been heart-breaking to have to unravel so much of your scarf -- but most Whosians do hold themselves (out of love/fan-loyalty for the Doctor) to surprising levels of accuracy.
For you the Doctor was the inspiration for learning those crafts. <envy>
‘Plush Darlaks‘!? They must have been adorable! Just thinking of them I can hear their voice from my Memory: “Ex-ter-mon-ate!”

Yeah, there's just no point in making The Scarf (of whichever version) if you're not going to do it right.
My 'keeper' Dalek was done in a sort of tie-dye yarn, so it rolls around shrieking "HAL-LU-CIN-ATE!" XD It sits next to my tie-dye crocheted Cthulhu.
It's hard to say whether it's weirder *that* I knit, or *what* I knit...
