I am thinking we are missing out by not starting a business to sell Sherlock related fashion gear in trendy fitted styles. I am thinking a fitted ladies blouse version of the Purple Shirt, our own knockoff Belstaff ladies overcoat, a ladies deerstalker cap for Ascot, the retro pink suit, the green pegnoir, an Irene inspired knockoff Jacques Azagury little black dress and a Donovan inspired pencil skirt with matching knee pads.

I sew, and I've made it my personal mission to make a copy of Sherlock's coat for myself.  Finding the fabric is going to be the hard part--I haven't found any close enough for less than $40 a yard.  That kind of coat can take 6-8 yards of fabric.  Maybe I'll start a thread when I get around to it.

I just entered as well.  Thanks for posting!

Hello, littlebird! Welcome. You'll have fun here.
I used to live outside NYC, but am now in the Midwest. However, we have our Kindles in common. You'll find it handy when you're looking up a quote in the canon. Hope you're going to London.

I am actually going to Tokyo.  Reading Sherlock Homes will be a nice contrast with that city.  I think I'm going to go to London next year.  I've been there twice pre-Sherlock, and to think I've never been to Baker Street!

Hello all, I'm from New Jersey in the USA.  I work in NYC every day.  I am relatively new to Sherlock fandom and am working my way through the canon.  I downloaded all of the stories to my Kindle to read on my upcoming trip.  I'd love to meet some local Sherlockians to hang out with!
