Man, that's old shit. I'm wearing a pink rugby, Carhartt doublee knee work pants, Zhanko duck print socks, and Quoody mules. I also wore an outfit I dubbed "70s French cocaine dealer" Motherfucking plague doctors left in the dust.
On a serious note, most people in white coats aren't doctors anymore, they're midlevels. Or female physicians since they're mistaken for nurses a lot though less common.
Fact isn't as fun as fiction. They actually looked like uncircumcised dicks sticking off their face. That protrusion was to protect them from breathing in bad air "miasma" and filled with herbs. Also had absolutely no effect against the black plague since it was spread by flea bites. Being covered head to toe might have mitigated it more than the silly mask.
Sorry to kill the fun, just bothers me that this got so warped by pop culture into some cool ass crow mask.
Cool is a matter of opinion, I still like the uncircumcized beakie boys
Coming soon to a Florida (unfortunately) near you! The return of the plague doctor!
