The second of John's new coats in Sherlock Series Two, this
debuts during the climax of A Scandal in Belgravia, but sees
greater use in The Hounds of Baskerville. The coat is from the Folk
spring / summer 2011 collection and is no longer available to buy.
The fabric is sourced from Japan, but sadly isn't waterproof -
which is presumably why John appears so uncomfortable in the rain
when he meets Mycroft outside Speedys Café. Notable details include
a buckled storm flap on the chest and a drawstring at the waist,
modified here from the standard green to white. The coat was
affectionately known by cast and crew as 'The Scarecrow Coat.'
Folk is a relatively new clothing company, founded in 2001 by
Cathal McAteer. It has a total of six stores, four in London, one
in Amsterdam, and the other in Munich.
