Very cool! I wish I could have seen that. I've heard a lot about it.

Another quick update... as we continue to get through the initial burst of production and pre-orders, we are creating a short series of making-of videos, particularly about the Napoleon busts. For now, we're posting them on our Patreon, but I will share more here once everything is complete. But here's a short video to entice people to our patreon. (which supports the podcast in addition to the production of the Sherlockian Relics)

Thank you!
We're getting through the rest of the pre-orders this week, then I'll post that they're fully ready. I'll also probably make a new thread for Vol2 on the this forum to show more of the making-of.

I'll be starting a Vol 2 thread shortly, but in the meantime here's a video of what we've produced...

Haha, what an awesome thread! Back in the early 90s, I was obsessed with this show. Even took to dressing in period-correct clothing on occasion. (Black deerstalker, spats and cane included.)

Noooooooooo. If they existed, they would be locked away in a vault forever.No images of the period-correct clothes tho??
I did have to run around half of London looking for an inverness coat though. (This was before the internet... so finding those kinds of things wasn't easy.)

Ha! Very cool. I can hear the Sherlock theme song playing as you ran through foggy old London Town on the Adventure of the Missing Inverness Coat. Funnily enough, we spoke to Esther Dean, the costume designer for the original series just last night. She was saying something similar about the difficulty of finding fabrics and certain items pre-internet.
Not sure I could justify the cost, the I still want to get my hands on a walking stick like Jeremy's.
Wow, that's surprising, considering what kind of costume archive the BBC must have! You'd think that if there's one thing British production houses would have access to, it'd be Victorian clothing and props!
I searched like crazy, and did find a Scottish gentleman's shop (probably on Saville Row...) that had some, but they were only knee-length and heavy brown tweed, whereas I wanted one in black. I eventually found one in white cotton in (of all places) a western shop in the (famous, but now gone) Kensington Market (where all the 80s and 90s Goths got their clothes, lol). I'm guessing it was intended to be a duster, but the cape was properly long, so I bought it and dyed it black. It eventually got destroyed when an insane neighbor blew a hole in my front door with a shotgun (not kidding and not fun), so I took it apart and used it as a pattern to make a new one! Still have the coat part, but not the cape.

Sherlock was Granada TV, but yeah they did have access to a lot, though she did design her own costumes and tried to use period fabric. That story came up when we spoke out the Russian scenes in the Golden Pince-Nez.
Wowsa! Based on that story, my suggestion of it being an adventure isn't that far off!
