Hat and Coat

You keep listing the hat and coat as a good thing, but the fashion-conscious Holmes would never commit such a sartorial faux pas; the deerstalker is traditionally a rural outdoorsman's cap, not the appropriate headgear for the properly dressed urban gentleman. Indeed, Paget and the other contemporaneous illustrators who portrayed Holmes as wearing a deerstalker always placed him in the proper setting for such attire, traveling cross-country or operating in a rural outdoor setting. 5  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

However, it is a trademark of Sherlock Holmes and many fans love it. We are all able to list what we think are the best and worst things of each actor, and this is one that is common among us Sherlock Holmes fans. We all have our opinions. ;) Do you find this valuable?

I can't remember thinking that it felt inappropriate for Sherlock to wear the hat and coat. Do you find this valuable?
