    Much too classy to be purple anyway. It was *eggplant*. lololol
     

    The Eggplant Shirt of Sex.. hm.. nah. 

    I missed the more "dramatic" colours of Sherlock´s clothes in S3.. much more subdued ones, camel, bordeaux-red and Cambridge-blue in this one. It fits his characterization, but.. aw. *nostalgic sigh*

    I never knew that in the English language there is the word eggplant at all! In the German language we say " Aubergine", "Eierpflanze" is mainly Austrian dialect.

    I believe aubergine is the French word for eggplant. Americans use the aubergine word for the color, but the veggie is eggplant, so I probably should have said aubergine, rather than eggplant. Would the aubergine shirt of sex sound better?  Probably.  lol

    In Norway we say aubergine as well, but I knew the word eggplant.

    In the UK we say aubergine...but we know it's also called an egg plant.

    Re: The Purple Shirt

    Also, I the shirt had a quick appereance in TSoT, in the first scene regarding John's middle name, when Sherlock walks into the living rom with his mouth full of cigarettes. It could also be the one he's wearing when the three of them look at the wedding invitation and John complains about his middle name being there, but that shirt looks a bit more red, so I'm not sure if it's just the lighting in that scene or if it is the same shirt.

    Yes, this is important stuff.

    The purple shirt is very, very important!


    I managed to get a good 'look alike' shirt for my Halloween cosplay... it was even straining on the buttons on my chest! *giggles*

    I'm pretty sure he has another one, though. Please. Or he will buy a new Purple Shirt of Sex that looks just like the old Purple Shirt of Sex. Yes.
    When his time comes and he dies for real, he will be buried in The Purple Shirt of Sex and his Belstaff coat. Yup.

    I disagree on this. His time will never come.

    For science!

    I just noticed that Sherlock wears the PSS when John asks him to be his best man.

    The Purple Shirt song was great, I had to laugh when she blushed at the mention of Sherlock taking his shirt off

    Re: The Purple Shirt

    Now, people, this is important. I've found PSoS (I need one for a cosplay, so...)
    The problem is that it's expensive (100€ -I can ignore that front well enough, no matter the consequences)...and available in size 6 and 12. Dammit, I needed only a size 10. Or possibly 8. Could have worked.
    *goes sob grossly in a corner*

    for anyone who might be interested, here's the link (website's in French, I'm afraid, but there should be a way to put it in English)

    Thank you, Harriet. Not giving up just yet, though, I still roughly have three weeks to find the one...and one that fits!
