The Detective’s Coat and the Doctor’s Jacket, Tailored to You No fictional partnership has a more recognizable wardrobe than the consulting detective and his companion. The detective’s long corduroy frock coat reads as restless intellect: a Victorian silhouette rebuilt for a man always in motion. The doctor’s shooting jacket is its practical counterpart, cotton twill built for action rather than display. Between them they define a whole register of dress, tweedy, textured, and purposeful, that no thin costume version ever captures. The two pieces - The Detective’s Frock Coat: The [Sherlock Holmes frock coat](https://baronboutique.com/sherlock-holmes-frock-coat/) inspired by the 2009 film, in rugged big-wale corduroy with a frock-style back, canvas front, and a single-breasted three-button clo… - The Doctor’s Shooting Jacket: The [John Watson shooting jacket](https://baronboutique.com/bbc-sherlock-watson-shooting-jacket/) inspired by the BBC series, a structured black cotton-twill jacket built for action, with the practical, understated line … - More Victorian Frock Coats: If it is the Victorian silhouette you are after rather than the specific characters, the full range of frock coats, classic wool, velvet, and linen, lives in the [Frock Coats collection](https://baronboutique.com/menswea… Choose the piece, cloth, and color Pick the coat or the jacket and its cloth, color, and, for the corduroy coat, the wale, on the product page, and enter your measurements there.

It ships worldwide with tracking Your finished piece ships by FedEx, DHL, or UPS with full tracking, about four to six weeks from measurement confirmation including the test-garment stage. The test garment is yours to keep. ## Questions & Answers **Q:** What is in the Baker Street collection? **A:** Two pieces that define the consulting-detective wardrobe: the detective’s long corduroy frock coat, inspired by the 2009 film, and the doctor’s black cotton-twill shooting jacket, inspired by the BBC series. Both are made to your exact measurements in real cloth, with a free test garment before the final fabric is cut. If you want another piece from the detective’s world that is not listed, we can build it from reference images. **Q:** Can you make the Sherlock Holmes coat from the 2009 film? **A:** Yes. It is built in rugged big-wale corduroy with the signature frock-style back and a hand-basted canvas front for structure, single-breasted with a three-button closure. It is offered in 11 corduroy colors, from oxblood and deep greens to classic tan, and you can choose a wide or thin wale to refine the character. It is made to your measurements, and a free test coat confirms the silhouette before the corduroy is cut. **Q:** Do you make the doctor’s shooting jacket from the BBC series? **A:** Yes. The John Watson shooting jacket is a structured black cotton-twill jacket built for movement, with the understated, practical line that suits the character. Because it is cut to your measurements as a genuine tailored jacket, it also works as a distinctive everyday jacket well beyond a cosplay setting. It includes the same free test garment as every order. **Q:** What is a frock coat, and how is the detective’s coat different from a plain overcoat? **A:** A frock coat is a knee-length coat with a horizontal waist seam that gives it a fitted body and a full skirt, the standard day coat of the Victorian era. The detective’s coat uses that frock-style back but in a rugged big-wale corduroy rather than formal wool, which is what gives it its restless, characterful look, distinct from both a plain straight-hanging overcoat and a formal wool frock coat. If you want the formal versions, they are in the Frock Coats collection. **Q:** Can I wear these pieces day to day, or only for cosplay? **A:** Both. Because they are real tailored garments in corduroy and cotton twill rather than costume fabric, both read as distinctive everyday outerwear as much as character pieces. The corduroy frock coat in a subdued color like tan or deep green works as a striking statement coat, and the shooting jacket wears like any well-cut casual jacket. They are equally at home at a reenactment, a steampunk or period event, or on the street. **Q:** Are the garments made to my measurements, and is there a fit guarantee? **A:** Yes to both. Each piece is made to your measurements with no standard sizes, and before we cut your final cloth we send a free test garment in cotton so the fit is confirmed on your body first. You try it on at home, check the fit, and send any adjustments, which we apply before cutting the final piece. The test garment is yours to keep. **Q:** Can you make another detective or Victorian piece that is not listed, such as a long wool coat or an Inverness cape? **A:** Yes. If you want a specific detective or Victorian garment that is not currently listed, for example a long single-breasted wool coat, an Inverness cape, or a tweed Ulster, contact us with reference images and a description. We accept custom requests for coats, capes, and jackets, assess the construction, and provide a quote before any work begins. **Q:** How long does an order take, and do you ship to the UK and worldwide? **A:** Production typically takes four to six weeks from measurement confirmation, including the free test-garment stage, and we ship worldwide by FedEx, DHL, or UPS with full tracking, including throughout the UK where these pieces are especially popular. Most orders arrive within a few business days of dispatch. For an event with a fixed date, order with a comfortable margin so there is time for the test garment and any adjustments. ## Products - [John Watson Black Shooting Jacket BBC Sherlock Holmes](https://baronboutique.com/okf/products/screen-inspired/victorian-detective/bbc-sherlock-watson-shooting-jacket.md) - [Sherlock Holmes Coat (2009 film)](https://baronboutique.com/okf/products/menswear/mens-coats-and-overcoats/sherlock-holmes-frock-coat.md) **Related terms:** Sherlock Holmes coat, Victorian detective costume, Watson jacket, Baker Street style, period detective coats ## Related - [Screen Inspired Category Index](https://baronboutique.com/okf/categories/screen-inspired.md) - [Browse all Victorian Detective products](https://baronboutique.com/okf/products/screen-inspired/victorian-detective/index.md)
