Conan Doyle wrote in 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery' the following description of Holmes' attire: "travelling-cloak and close-fitting cloth cap," which Sidney Paget, the illustrator in the early Strand Magazine stories, interpreted as an Inverness cape and deerstalker cap. These were often used as travelling clothes in Holmes' day, and Holmes and Watson had travelled to the Boscombe valley.
This outfit has since been made popular by actors such as William Gillette and Basil Rathbone in Sherlock Holmes adaptations.
