Detective costume Bram Sherlock Holmes

The Bram Sherlock Holmes detective costume is a detective look in grey-brown houndstooth, consisting of a long coat with a shoulder cape, a vest and a hat.

Why does the detective wear a hat with two flaps?

Sherlock Holmes is the London detective from the classic detective stories, and in illustrations and film adaptations he often wears a checked coat with a cape and a hat with a brim at the front and back. That hat was originally a hunting hat for the countryside, and precisely because of that it became the trademark of the character. Together with a magnifying glass and a pipe, everyone at the party will immediately know who you are playing.

Wearing the detective costume during carnival

During a parade or in a crowded party hall, you wear the coat buttoned up, so that the shoulder cape falls nicely over your back and the silhouette remains recognizable from afar. A wine-red or dark tie and neat black shoes complete the look without having to change anything about the costume. Take a magnifying glass as a prop, then you have something to play with all evening while questioning a suspect.

Order the detective costume in your size and go looking for the culprit yourself during carnival.
