deerstalker cap
Earflap hunting headwear
A deerstalker cap is a close-fitting hat with brims front and back and earflaps that can be tied up over the crown or down under the chin.
Originally worn for hunting in rural Britain, it became iconic through illustrations of Sherlock Holmes: He wore the classic deerstalker and carried a magnifying glass.
Often shortened to deerstalker.
