Dolce and Gabbana Main-line Dress Shirtin 100% cotton and slim
fit. Although Sherlock wears several different shirts throughout
the series, it appears to be 'THE Purple Shirt', which has captured
people's imaginations - and happens to be the most costly of his
dress shirts too.
"I did have a couple of Spencer Hart shirts, but they were
mostly from the mainline Dolce collection. Again, Benedict is very
slim - we needed that silhouette, so that if he was sitting in the
flat, I didn't want loads of fabric bulging out. Those Dolce shirts
just suited his body - I didn't want anything too unusual or
flamboyant. They were classic with a little lilac pinstripe."
