Adult Victorian Detective Costume - Mens Sherlock-Style Investigator Suit

What's Included

• Houndstooth Inverness coat with attached shoulder cape – structured wool-blend fabric, knee-length cut, double-breasted button front
• Deerstalker hat – matching houndstooth pattern with dual brims (front and back) and ear flaps tied at crown

The Adult Victorian Detective Costume is a full-length Inverness coat finished with an integrated shoulder capelet and matching deerstalker hat, both in classic brown-and-tan houndstooth check. The coat's structured tailoring, wide notched lapels and asymmetrical front panels create the iconic consulting-detective silhouette — ideal for murder mystery dinners, literary-themed parties, Book Week teacher costumes and Victorian costume events.

The wool-blend houndstooth fabric holds its shape with visible seaming and double-breasted button closure (4–6 buttons down the center front). The shoulder cape drapes from the coat's shoulder seam, creating the signature Inverness profile, while the deerstalker's dual-brim construction and tied ear flaps complete the 19th-century investigator look.
