There is no question, though, that despite this, Holmes remains one of the few characters that can instantly be recognized by his silhouette. Another hat that Holmes wears is the newsboy cap. This was a typical style worn in the 19th and 20th centuries. The newsboy hat looks like a flat cap but has a more round and puffier body. The film takes place in London in the 1890s, so the choice makes sense with the film’s period.
