Anatomy of a Deerstalker

The double peak shades the eyes and the back of the neck; the earflaps fold down for cold and wind on the moor and tie on top in mild weather; tweed cloth sheds light rain and blends with country dress. Holmes made it famous in illustration rather than in the novels' text, but the design's practicality is genuine country engineering.

The Classic Cap Specialist

Deerstalkers are rarely a store's main line, so they are best bought from a classic cap specialist whose trade is exactly these British styles - sized, cloth-true and accompanied by the rest of the traditional cap wardrobe. This page's listing is that specialist, and the related Gatsby, chauffeur and pork pie pages in this directory draw on the same shop.

Common Questions

Why does a deerstalker have two peaks?

The front peak shades the eyes and the rear peak shades the neck - practical design for country sports - while the earflaps tie down for cold weather or up on top in mild weather.

Is the deerstalker really a Sherlock Holmes hat?

It became the character's signature through the classic illustrations; the specialist here lists Sherlock Holmes and deerstalker caps as named ranges within its British made classic caps.

What other caps does this store sell?

Baker boy styles, Gatsby, county, felt, Bretagne clipper and chauffeur caps and leather caps, plus hats from fedora, trilby and bowler to Panama, safari and outback.
