221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes

This T-shirt is a tribute to Holmes, a fictional private detective created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. According to Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson lived at 221B Baker Street from 1881 to 1904. It was a purely fictional address – emphasis on was. Time marches on, Baker Streets are renumbered, and 221Bs are revealed.

Synposis of Sherlock Holmes – This is a classic for a reason. What else can I say? Sherlock Holmes has outlived many generations of its readers and will outlive many more generations while remaining hugely popular.

Knowing the mysteries’ solution doesn’t seem to diminish the excitement at getting to Holmes’ big reveal each time. Holmes and Dr Watson’s characters become character studies, making you long for the little tidbits that provide more insight into their inner workings. I would recommend his books to anyone who enjoys mystery and adventure and any budding sleuths.
