A pretty cool coat eh?? I have a long coat with a collar which I try to pretend is like Sherlock's but it's not that much like it really...it still makes me feel like Sherlock when I'm walking around though - especially when I turn the collar up...hehehe

I have a kind-of one. It’s got a big collar which is always going up. And it’s medium in length. (I wanted it as long as it could be without looking silly!) It's called my Sherlock coat and i used to have a blue scarf, some kid stole it! =/ So i have to get a new one!

My grey dufflecoat remotely resembles THE coat. I wear it with a blue Kashmir scarf and a Baker Street badge pinned to the collar. Fortunately the weather here allows me to do so...but for how long?

I've been scouring EVERYWHERE for A Sherlock badge - I collect badges. You got it from the internet, I bet. If not where did you get it?

And our weather is pretty unpredictable. It may be snowy in the north but in the south there’s a draught so it’s pretty mad but I would wear the scarf anyway, with pride!

The badge is just an ordinary tourist's badge I brought from London:

I’m going too get one. My dad hates London. So I’ve never really been. Just passed it the odd time!

Blue scarf has got to be next on the shopping list...and black leather gloves!

Young Sherlock Holmes · April 10, 2012 6:51 pm

I have black leather gloves, well my mum does... Next Halloween party I'm going to die my hair black and be Sherlock! Ha! =) I have the coat, shoes, gloves, I have curly hair. It’s just medium - not as short. But I just need a scarf! -.-

I don't have a Sherlock coat because they are made by Belstaff and cost more than £1,000. I'm not sure if they are still making them. Also it's a man's coat. When Irene had to wear Sherlock's in Scandal they had to take it in so it wouldn't look ridiculous.

I am a girl and found a "look a like" =) though I would just buy a boys/man's and get my mum to take it in! =) =) =)

I have a black long coat with what we here call a "chimney collar" (don't know if that's correct in English) and it looks a bit like Sherlock's. Though it's for woman, of course. I think real Irene would have liked it.
I also own a long blue scarf, pretty similar to Sherlock's scarf, and two couples of leather gloves (brown and black). By the way, I've been wearing my scarves the Sherlock way since I was a child.
The funny thing is I bought all that stuff long before I even knew about the show...

Irene Adler · April 10, 2012 9:50 pm

I forgot, I also have a blue silk dressing gown...

Young Sherlock Holmes · April 10, 2012 9:58 pm

ha ha that's cool! You can find female equivalents if you look around. I'm getting a new scarf now, I need it! then I'll have the complete look! =)

So, I bought one of those Sherlock replica coats off the internet - the ones where they custom make it to your size. I love it so much!!

tobeornot221b · October 22, 2012 12:55 pm

Oh, that coat looks a bit gorgeous! May the temperatures fall soon...

Mattlocked · October 22, 2012 4:23 pm

Oh, got a second one? lol
Still no pic with you inside of it.... That pic I know already. BORING!

Boss, very jealous here. Can't tell it if has the red buttonhole. If not, I am a good seamstress and can do it for you. Just send me the coat. And I'll return it to you, really.
