How many times does Conan Doyle refer to Sherlock Holmes wearing a deerstalker hat in his 4 novels and 56 short stories?

Conan Doyle never specifically refers to Holmes wearing a deerstalker, although in 'Silver Blaze' we are told that he wears an 'ear-flapped travelling-cap'. Sidney Paget, who illustrated the stories for The Strand magazine, interpreted this as a deerstalker, an image which has remained to the present day.

In 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery,' Conan Doyle wrote that Holmes wore a 'close-fitting cloth cap' that Sidney Paget interpreted as a deerstalker.

What do you associate Sherlock Holmes always having or wearing?
Well, other than his sidekick Watson, I always associate Sherlock Holmes with having a pipe, magnifying glass, and wearing a deerstalker hat. :)His iconic costume was a deerstalker hat and an Inverness cape, however he was rarely drawn wearing them (By Sidney Paget)
What do you call the hat that Sherlock homes Where is?
Because of the early Sherlock Holmes movies, the hat most commonly associated with him is the "deerstalker".In the stories, the hat is never clearly identified, but it is described in one story as a "close-fitting cloth cap" and in another as "his ear-flapped travelling cap". A deerstalker fits both those descriptions, and would have been a common choice of cap in the setting (in both stories, he's in a rural area and out of doors much of the time).However, the Holmes described in Conan-Doyle's stories would never wear such a hat at all times; it's a hat such as might be worn outdoors in the country, not one that anyone of the era would wear in downtown London. Contemporary illustrators drawing Holmes in the city would usually depict him in a top hat or bowler, both of which would have been considered appropriate urban headgear.
What was the name of the hat Sherlock Holmes wore?
Conan Doyles' hero detective wears a deerstalker.While Holmes wore a Deerstalker in one story, he was equally inclined to top hats and, in disguise, even sailor's caps.*Additional Note: Holmes' so-called "classic look" of the deerstalker cap and Inverness capecoat were strictly for traveling and country wear. The famous deerstalker is even referred to as a "cloth traveling cap." While in London, where Holmes spent most of his time, he carried himself as a gentleman, and could usually be found in a top hat and coat while about town.
Who wrote 56 stories about Sherlock Holmes?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually wrote 60 stories about Sherlock Holmes.
Other than the deerstalker cap what is the type hat did Sherlock Holmes wear?
Holmes only wore the deerstalker hat on a few occasions in locations that would actually warrant a reason for wearing such attire. While in London, however, he normally wore hats that were more appropriate to the setting (likely top hats), just like any other gentleman would.
