    Super Sleuth Well done, Mysterious Mose! Worthy of a Baker Street Irregular!

    Jeremy Brett's "Holmes" top hat-How Tall?

    Missing Link Thanks for this link: it answers the time period/height question I posed on the top hat thread.

    well heeled The ones with the heels are worthy. More worthy than I am to own them at Ben Silver prices.

    $99 MTM Linen Suit. Could this be true?

    Cheap suit Ditto. Baron's is inexpensive but not 'cheap'.

    Jeremy Brett's "Holmes" top hat-How Tall?

    Monkey see- Boodles, you are a man after my own heart. I do the same, perhaps with cheap wine instead of whisky/whiskey. It is a guilty pleasure of mine to lay out on the dining room table a small 'homage' to the subject of the evening's video. In the case of SH, a replica single breasted...

    Rum=Rubber Bands Welcome to the Lounge, Atinkerer. Pull up a stool. Did this rum taste like rubber bands to the highest power? Regular rum has that flavor to me, neat or on the rocks, which I sometimes drink, to see if it ever tastes better. That makes me an optimist.(And out of Scotch or...

    $99 MTM Linen Suit. Could this be true?

    Too good to be true I am reminded of Sanjay Surri for militaria at bargain prices. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. "Nice things cost money" -Oskar Schindler, 'Schindler's List'

    Jeremy Brett's "Holmes" top hat-How Tall?

    Size Wise Mysterious Mose: Thanks! I will also keep searching and perhaps someone acquainted with the production or costuming may post. I have a 7, 6 and 5.5. The 5.5 looks OK but I agree the 6" looks most accurate. For anyone wandering into this thread at this post, we are talking top...

    Jeremy Brett's "Holmes" top hat-How Tall?

    Suits and toppers I agree Hardwicke's suits are nice. I am not so keen on the Norfolk suits they kit up in to go out of town, but there are many of the episodes where Watson and Holmes are both in gray tweed suits. The bowlers are not so hard to come by, the toppers more so. I hope we get an...

    Jeremy Brett's "Holmes" top hat-How Tall?

    Modesty is not becoming 34 looks and no posts? Come on Sherlock Holmes fans, let me hear from you. How are we going to kit out if we can't agree on the topper height?

    Jeremy Brett-Sherlock Holmes Top Hat-How Tall?

    I started an identical thread in 'hats' but evidently there are no Holmes fans reading it. Here's something useless: How tall was Jeremy Brett's top hat worn in his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes? (The defining characterization, for many of us). In some shots it looks relatively short, perhaps...

    FIX A TOP HAT BRIM?

    Photos I might manage an 'after' photo when my younger daughter is home on Christmas Break (sophomore at Univ of South Carolina-'fighting roosters' as we say in our house). She requires a new digital camera for her Kappa Delta 'historian' job-a flimsy dodge for a new camera, if you ask me.

    Jeremy Brett's "Holmes" top hat-How Tall?

    Here's something useless: How tall was Jeremy Brett's top hat worn in his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes? (The defining characterization, for many of us). In some shots it looks relatively short, perhaps less than 6". Anyone know?

    Slippers

    Styles None of these look like the 'gentlemen's' leather slippers above, although some look like moccasin loafers. Only the moc's seem to have heels, which reatard that 'flip flop' slipper sound. As for scent, the dog will find them and chew them, cloth or leathers.
