I'm a new Doctor Who fan (since 2010), but I started to watch Classic Who which happened to be the 2nd doctor serials. I found I was best suited to the 2nd Doctor cosplay, as I am an older cosplayer (and Patrick Troughton was the first Doctor I watched). I basically found clothes around I had or purchased and put together the costume--in fact the jacket I wear for the costume is actually my real coat I wear in the fall/winter time. I've improved the pants, and got my hands on a recorder. The 2nd Doctor was the first Doctor to have a sonic screwdriver, which looked a lot like a pen or light pen, so I have one of those for him too. Despite the simplicity of the costume, I always get a good reaction at the conventions I've attended.
