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.

They have since been given disproportional importance by later actors. Please see a limited selection of Sidney Paget drawings linked below.
