The Game is Still Afoot.

The Deerstalker. This is not the hat of an urban detective.

But don’t blame Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

It was the famed illustrator Sidney Paget who was a fan of the stylish “fore and aft,” and sketched Sherlock in it for the Strand Magazine in 1881.

It just sort of fit.

The aptly named Deerstalker (No. 2914) was an outdoorsman’s hat.

For the high winds of the Wicklow Mountains. Or the biting cold of Soldier Field.

The drop-down side flaps protect your ears while the fore-and-aft brims shield that glaring autumnal sun. Practical. Comfortable. Hardly criminal. 100% Irish wool.

Sizes: S, M, L, XL.

Color: Checkered Houndstooth.
