Although strongly associated with Arthur Conan Doyle's famous character, the deerstalker hat's origins can be traced to 19th Century country pursuits in the Scottish Highlands. The deerstalker would have been perfect to keep the keen huntsman or woman warm and dry, whilst also keeping an air of elegance in stylish tweed. While some hats belonged to the first episode set in 19th century London, other hats were worn in other episodes set in the modern era. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Another hat that Holmes wears is the newsboy cap. This was a typical style worn in the 19th and 20th centuries. The newsboy hat looks like a flat cap but has a more round and puffier body. The film takes place in London in the 1890s, so the choice makes sense with the film’s period.
