Our recreation of the Project H.O.U.N.D design seen in Sherlock series 2 is now available on a mug at our store! Please note that the resolution of the design seen on the preview mugs at the shop is much lower than the print you’ll receive. The mug that you’ll get will look exactly like the one above. (That little white speck is a reflection by the way!)

If you like the Project H.O.U.N.D design you can also buy it on a screen accurate t-shirt/hoodie from our Red Bubble store here!

Whilst Googling ourselves the other day (shh, we all do it) we found a rather lovely review of our blog. We were all smiles and happy tears until we read the reviewer’s comment that Wear Sherlock is more of a costuming blog and that we didn’t really post a lot of props - this couldn’t be further from the truth! It may take a while to sift through our many pages to find older props but they are there, over sixty of them in fact! So to celebrate the fact that we adore the props in Sherlock just as much as we do the costumes here’s a little compilation of our personal favourites from Sherlock Series 1 and 2! (Click the names in this list to be taken to our post about them).

• Irene’s Vertu phone S2E01
  How could Irene’s £17,000 phone not make the list? (A phone that Sherlock somehow found the funds to duplicate may we add!) It’s currently on show in Harrods if you’d like to go and see it for yourself.

• Sherlock’s framed Periodic Table print S2E01
  It has a childish and colourful charm that is just so not Sherlock. Displayed proudly framed on his bedroom wall we can only imagine it being something left over from his childhood that he just couldn’t throw away!

• 221b’s United Kingdom and Ireland Ali Miller teacup S2E01/03
  Perhaps the most coveted Sherlock prop of all. One part of a stylish tea set that oddly compliments 221b’s light up kettle. Random fact: Stephen Fry owns the set too!

• Moriarty’s penknife S2E03
  Not sure why Moriarty wanted to leave such an elegant penknife lodged into one of the flat’s apples but it certainly made an impression.
  
  
• Grimms’ Fairy Tales book S2E03
  One of the breadcrumbs left by The Fall’s good old fashioned villain for Sherlock to follow. Also, an extremely rare book indeed.
  
  
• The shock blanketS1E01
  Instead of placing that overused quote here (you know the one) we’re just going to say if any Sherlock fan is unfortunate enough to find themselves in the back of an ambulance use the opportunity to quote said quote - it will surely lighten the mood.
  
  
• Mycroft’s cigarette lighter S2E01
  Because even if Mycroft doesn’t smoke (or frequent cafes) he still needs an imported, rare, designer lighter because.. he’s Mycroft.
  
  
• Sherlock’s Judo diploma S2E01
  When we first posted Sherlock’s First Dan diploma it spurred a huge uproar as when translated it isn’t actually addressed to him but somebody else entirely. Perhaps it’s a memento.. 
  
  
• Irene and Sherlock’s riding crop S1E01/S2E01
  You read that right. The riding crop Sherlock owns in Series one (that he flogs that unfortunate corpse with) is exactly the same as Irene’s in Series two. We’re saying nothing.

Also, check our props tag to see those that didn’t make this list!

The wait is finally over and the Wear Sherlock fandom mug store is now open! The store offers HIGH QUALITY dishwasher and microwave safe mugs that ship WORLDWIDE and even have a 30 day money back guarantee!

Currently available are the #periodicmug and #ramcmug designs. The periodic table was seen in Series 2 on Sherlock’s bedroom wall. (Our post about it can be found here). John’s RAMC mug has been in the show since the first few minutes of A Study in Pink - no John cosplay is complete without it! Our designs are screen-accurate meaning that what you see on the show is what you’ll get on your mug but please note these are recreations and are 100% unofficial. 

Don’t forget to sign up to our mug newsletter by entering your e-mail address into the box on the store’s sidebar. Once you’ve signed up you’ll be kept up to date with all future mug designs that are added including limited edition prints (like the Project H.O.U.N.D mug) along with future discount codes. 

If you need any help check out the Customer Service page and feel free to send us a message here if you get really stuck - we’ll be happy to help you. (Leaving your message un-anonymously helps!)

Thank you for all your feedback on the store so far!
We hope you enjoy your mugs!

So, to clear up any confusion here is the story of those striped mugs that turn up pretty much everywhere in the Sherlock fandom. Back in July 2011 we were lucky enough to visit the set of Sherlock Series 2 whilst they were filming The Reichenbach Fall. Whilst on set a selection of photographs were taken and posted on the owner of Wear Sherlock’s (personal) blog and they were quickly spread around. But none as much as the grainy photographs taken gone midnight of two innocent striped mugs labelled with sticky tape so that Cumberbatch and Freeman didn’t forget which was theirs. Shame they couldn’t actually drink any of it, seeing as they were handcuffed together..

We’d happily recreate both of these silly mugs for our upcoming mug store if people would like to own one as to be honest we find it hard to say no to you guys. But just how will you explain to your friends/family that you have a mug with somebody else’s name on? We’ll leave that up to you ;)

Great news! Our first test batch of mugs (soon to be sold in our upcoming mug store) have arrived and they’re beautiful! Well, we think they are anyway. Not long now until the shop will be open for business! 

These two designs #RAMCmug and #PERIODICmug will always be available to purchase in the store but occasionally we’ll bring out limited edition designs such as the project H.O.U.N.D mug and some top secret ‘costume mugs’ that are currently under construction. You’ll be able to vote on which designs you like best and hopefully Series 3 of Sherlock will introduce new ones too! 

Now we’ll let you get back to your Sherlock tea ;)
