Deerstalker
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2016) |
A deerstalker is a type of cap that is typically worn in rural areas, often for hunting, especially deer stalking. Because of the cap's popular association with the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes,[1] it has become stereotypical headgear for a detective, especially in comical drawings or cartoons along with farcical plays and films.[2]
