A Sherlock Holmes cape is a long detective cloak with a collar or shoulder cape, recognizable by the silhouette of the English detective. Choose between brown checkered with a hat, plain grey with a shoulder cape, or black with a turned-over collar, available for men and also for women in the case of the black cape. A cape is slipped over your clothes in one motion, so you can quickly put together your detective outfit for Carnival or a themed party.
Shoulder cape, shoulder capelet, or turned-over collar
- The classic detective look is a brown cape with a fine woven check and a separate shoulder cape that falls over your arms as an extra layer.
- The brown checkered model comes with the detective hat with flaps on the sides and a bow on top.
- A plain grey detective cape with a stand-up collar and a shoulder capelet with rounded points gives the silhouette of an Inverness cape, but without the check.
- The black cape has a rounded, turned-over collar and is plain without any print, making it suitable for a dark, understated detective.
- The grey and black capes fasten with straps that you tie into a bow at the neck.
How do you choose between a separate cape and a cape with a hat?
If you want the hat included, choose the brown checkered Sherlock Holmes cape, which comes in size M-L for men and leaves room for a shirt or jacket underneath. Both the grey and black capes fall below the knee, and with the grey one you receive only the cape, without a hat, pipe, or magnifying glass. If you prefer a complete outfit all at once instead of separate pieces, choose a Sherlock Holmes costume.
Pipe and magnifying glass for your detective cape
With a pipe in your mouth and a magnifying glass in your hand, you will immediately become a recognizable detective during Carnival with your Sherlock Holmes cloak. The black cape also fits over a spy suit, turning the detective into a mysterious agent.
Ordering your Sherlock Holmes cape
The hat and color make the biggest difference here: brown checkered for the classic detective, grey or black if you are putting together the rest of the look yourself. Order before 11:59 p.m. to have your Sherlock cape delivered the next day. Pick your model and put it on for your next party.
