WEARSHERLOCK: A blog that revolves around the wardrobe and props department of the BBC show 'Sherlock', featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Mark Gatiss.
This blog showcases the clothes and props seen in the show as well as providing links as to where to buy them. We often host Sherlock related giveaways. You can check our current giveaway status here. We are not affiliated with the BBC.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH BAFTA 2012 FASHION RUN-DOWN
SUIT
On the red white and blue carpet Benedict wore a bespoke Spencer Hart single breasted shawl lapel suit in Midnight Blue. His pocket square was a simple and classically styled white Marcella (finely ribbed). His dress shirt was a white Marcella collar.
ACCESSORIES
Benedict’s tie was a skinny knitted silk style tied in a Half Windsor knot. His shoes were highly polished black Oxfords with balmoral lacing. Unfortunately we were unable to find any shots of Benedict’s watch or cuff links (if he wore any) but as soon as we do we’ll update.
Benedict usually wears Spencer Hart suits to red carpet events (he did so at the 2012 Oscars too) and coincidentally all of the suits he wears in Sherlock are tailored by Spencer Hart also. You can follow them on Twitter here. (They always let the Sherlock fandom know when they have Benedict in store!)

If you will be attending the Baker St Babe’s GRAND APRIL MEET UP this weekend we will be there with signs you can pose with and cameras to photograph you with! We’re hoping to get lots of you in costume for the montage :)
Don’t forget, our DeviantART project/contest will be starting soon to run alongside this one with a whole set of new prizes.

‘SAVE UNDERSHAW’ SHERLOCK COMMUNITY MONTAGE - Update!
Four days into the montage project and we’ve already received over 70 entries! That is fantastic! We’re thrilled, as are the Undershaw Trust staff, at the Sherlock Holmes fandom’s efforts so far. But, we still need more of you to enter, so if you’ve got a webcam, a camera phone, or even a fancy DLSR nearby, please take a moment to take part. If you don’t know how to do so click here. If you can’t enter for any reason, please consider reblogging this post to spread the word to your followers. You have until May 6th to enter. If you’re planning on entering, or perhaps planning a group shoot, please let us know as we’d love to hear about it!
The images above show some of our favourite entries so far but remember, it won’t be our decision to choose the winner of the Wearsherlock goodie-bag, it will be the co-founder of the Undershaw Preservation trust Lynn Gale.
Our next update will be an early mock up of the montage which will show roughly how the final print will look. It will available to purchase as soon as the project is over (all profits going to the Trust and the future of Undershaw). The goodie-bag winner and print will be revealed on May 6th.
Thank you to everyone who has taken part so far and to all of you who are planning on doing so! We need to save Arthur Conan Doyle’s home and we are a fandom that can get things done, so let’s do it!
THE ‘SAVE UNDERSHAW’ SHERLOCK COMMUNITY MONTAGE
If you’re a fan of Sherlock Holmes in any one of his many incarnations then you’ll probably know about The Undershaw Preservation Trust, the trust that is working incredibly hard to keep Arthur Conan Doyle’s home (where he wrote many of the Sherlock stories) from being developed. Their patron is Mark Gatiss (actor who plays Mycroft in the BBC series) and you can watch his touching video about the trust at their site here.
There are many things you can already do to help spread awareness of the cause.
But now, in addition to the trust’s Save Undershaw sign campaign, we here at wearsherlock are adding our voice to help “Save Undershaw” go viral and we need you to add yours!
All that is required for you to enter is to take a photograph of yourself (on webcam, or your phone, or anything that can take a picture!) holding a sign that says “Save Undershaw”. You can take a photo with a group of friends or colleagues, even your pets can join in! Be creative and have fun.
At the end of the project (6th May) all the photos will be put together into a montage and then be sold as a print. If you enter, your face will go down in Sherlock Holmes history! All the profits will go towards the campaign and the future of Undershaw.
There will also be a special prize for one lucky entrant! The Co-Founder of the Trust (Lynn Gale) will select her favourite photograph and the winner will receive a wearsherlock GOODIE BAG!
There are several ways you can submit your photograph. You can:
Please try to include some information about the Trust in your posts to Tumblr and Twitter by perhaps linking to their site/Twitter or by reblogging this post.
That’s it! Get snapping! Please note, we can’t make the montage unless it has at least 100 photographs so please SPREAD THE WORD.
There isn’t long left to save Undershaw, so let’s work together to make it happen!
The pictures in the photoset above show some of the wearsherlock team.
The group images can be found at the Save Undershaw website!
