Provenance:
According to the vendor, this hat came from the personal collection of Ken Trew.

Ken Trew (1936-2014) was a costume designer for Doctor Who, credited on twenty-six episodes of the Classic Series and most notably designing the Seventh Doctor's original costume in a 1987 watercolour sketch. The extensive use of paisley expanded from the hat band to the Doctor's scarf and tie, with the outfit was completed by a cardigan and umbrella each emblazoned with the conspicuous red question mark.
