Today, fans of the English style of clothing can please themselves with a surprisingly original, but at the same time incredibly practical and comfortable accessory. This is the famous Sherlock Holmes hat, the same “double visor” that is associated with the great detective, the hero of the works of Arthur Conan Doyle. Nowadays, this headdress, which was worn by residents of rural England at the end of the century before last and the beginning of the last century, is increasingly gaining popularity, and not only among the British.
The history of the "Sherlock Holmes hat"
In his homeland, England, the headdress that we are used to seeing on Mr. Holmes is called a distalker - this is a deer hunter's hat. It was worn by residents of the provincial regions of the country, especially those who were seriously involved in hunting. And the name “Sherlock Holmes hat” appeared later.
By the way, the author of works about the detective does not even mention such an accessory anywhere. It was “drawn” to Holmes by the first illustrators of the stories - Frederick Dorr Style and Sidney Paget. And it is precisely in those pictures where the detective is depicted traveling through the countryside. But for some reason, this particular hat became an integral attribute of the image of Conan Doyle’s hero.
Features of a deer hunter's hat
So, many of our contemporaries, residents of both the provinces and big cities, would not refuse to buy a Sherlock Holmes hat. What is special about the accessory? First of all, in the original cut: only it has two visors - front and back. Thus, the deer hunter's hat protects not only the head, but also the neck from the sun. And the fold-down “ears” allow you to use it as a cap (if you tie them at the back of your head), and as a hat if you lower them and tie the braid around your neck.
Initially, such hats were made from tweed - a coarse woolen material with a twill (diagonal) weave, and today you can buy a deer hunter's hat from different materials: softer wool, felt and others. A functional accessory for any weather, a great item stylish look- all this can be said about the traditional British Deerstalker hat, or, as it has been called for about a century, the detective's headdress.

Possible answers:
- writer Conan Doyle
- actor Aruthur Wontner
- journalist John Masefield
- illustrator Sidney Paget
Correct answer: D. illustrator Sidney Paget.
The main feature of this hat is two visors, front and back, and two side fold-down “ears”. Visors protect your face and neck from the sun. The hat's ears can either be folded back and tied under the chin to protect the wearer from cold weather and strong winds, or tied at the top to stay out of the way. Such a hat was usually worn in rural areas of England, usually while hunting, including deer. This is where its name came from - the deer hunter's hat. Hat material - twill, twill weave fabric. The checkered pattern of the fabric serves as camouflage. This is the most hunting clothing, often made in the form of a pattern " crow's foot» red-black or orange-black colors for safety reasons when hunting.
Sherlock Holmes, a character from Arthur Conan Doyle's books, is the most recognizable owner of such a hat. It is in this hunting hat that illustrators and filmmakers usually depict him. However, Doyle never mentioned in his stories that Holmes wore such a headdress. True, in the story “Silver,” Dr. Watson describes a detective with a similar hat on his head.
The stereotype of Holmes as wearing a deerstalker's hat goes back to the first illustrators of his stories: Sidney Paget, Frederick Dorr Steele and others. This hat was very fashionable between 1870 and 1890, when sportswear has become a more prominent feature of men's clothing. This cap was worn with Norfolk jackets and loose-fitting knee breeches with a frill under the knee. As a tribute to fashion, the artists dressed the main character appropriately.
For the first time, Holmes wears a hunting hat with two visors in Sidney Paget’s illustration for the story “The Mystery of Boscombe Valley” and then again in the already mentioned story “Silver”. Page, like his other illustrator contemporaries, who drew Holmes in this hat, always placed him in the appropriate environment - for example, they showed the famous detective traveling through the forest or working in the countryside.
