Re: John Lewis launches Sherlock coat
Oo! Lovely coat made of a great fabric sold by an excellent company. Price is reasonable too for the quality. Clever John Lewis!

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

Re: John Lewis launches Sherlock coat
I suspect that they must have done this with BBC approval to be able to use the Sherlock name the way they have. I suppose, since Belstaff aren't making the coat anymore (at least at the moment) and because it was so expensive to start with (£1,300+) that this is a more affordable version for people who might want this version. It looks like a pretty much classic trench/greatcoat.

BBC don't own the name Sherlock & there is no advertising to suggest anything to do with the show. So they don't need anyone's approval which is why they have called it such. A classic rip-off style if you ask me.
They don't even have a red buttonhole; but then if they did, they would be in trouble.

Re: John Lewis launches Sherlock coat
Ugh...not really very Sherlocky if you ask me...I've got one on order from one of those companies off eBay. It costs around £120 but they're a much better replica and you can have it made to your exact specifications.

Re: John Lewis launches Sherlock coat
I found a very Sherlock-ish coat in a department store the other day, but a more feminine version. I almost bought it right there and then but my self-control got the better of me.
