About the Costume

The 2016 special episode of the BBC’s Sherlock, The Abominable Bride, featured Louise Brealey’s Molly Hooper disguising herself as a man to be taken more seriously in Victorian London society.

Radio Times recently featured a tweet by Brealey about Daniel Radcliffe:

Daniel Radcliffe. Lovely man. Taught me the German for nipple. Also I wore an old suit of his as Hooper!

This got people digging, and Radio Times believes it is most likely a suit Dan Radcliffe wore as Arthur Kipps in the 2012 adaptation of Susan Hill’s 1983 novel The Woman in Black. After doing some sleuthing here at Recycled Movie Costumes, we are inclined to agree, though we cannot confirm that the entire suit was reused.

In The Woman in Black, Radcliffe wears an 1890s-style three-piece suit (comprised of a coat, waistcoat, and trousers) that derives its style from the sack suit of the 1860s and 70s. The coat itself appears to have been reused, though it is difficult to see, as Radcliffe’s jacket is either paired with a heavier coat over the suit or his character wears only his shirt and waistcoat without the jacket. 

However, the seams in the coat’s lapels do appear to line up with those worn by Hooper in Sherlock, as does the placement of the slanted left breast pocket. The pieces’ colors appear somewhat different, but both productions almost certainly had vastly different lighting and post-color grading.

This is not the only costume that we have found from Sherlock. You can find a couple more sightings here!

Costume Commentary

  1. Just in case anyone felt the urgent need to do any further digging: The most commonly, colloquially used German term for nipple is – wait for it – ‘Nippel’! Well. Where would be the fun in that. If you’re going to be more official and/or well behaved, which a gent like Daniel Radcliffe surely is used to being, you might go with ‘Brustwarze’ (breast-wart, literally) and I can just hear him pronounce it with atrociously over-rolling ‘R’s, preposterously sharpened ‘T’s/’Z’s and wantonly ejected vowels… Of course all the urban, locally and generationally influenced terms shall remain the subject of another digression/excursion. *tips-hat-and-trods-off*
