Surprisingly, Arthur Conan Doyle never mentions a deerstalker hat in his Sherlock Holmes stories, though he describes Holmes s  sharp, eager face framed in his ear-flapped travelling cap in  Silver Blaze. It was the original illustrator, Sidney Paget, who added this detail to scenes of mens hats baseball Holmes in the country (it would have been inappropriate to wear a deerstalker in town, where a top hat or homburg would have been more likely choices). The curved meerschaum pipe associated with Holmes was not in the Doyle stories, either: it was the choice of actor mens hats summer William Gillette and stuck with the character.

Well, he has the name of being a dangerous man. He is about the most daredevil rider in England second in the Grand National a few years back. He is one of those men who have overshot their true generation. He should have been a buck in the days of the Regency a boxer, an athlete, a plunger on the turf, a lover of fair ladies, and, by all account, so far down Queer Street that he may never find his way back again.

Is it their father who has mens hats trucker come for them? Or is it, as the babysitter suggests, the Specialist? And is this what we find terrifying in the story: the disappearance of the father, his replacement by a simulacrum, almost identical, someone who pretends to love them but who is fundamentally a stranger?

It is also something thrown off from the foetus, amoeba like, the thing without any sex of its own . It is pre sexual. The symbolic resonance of the snake as a representation of the lamella is obvious. What haunts Samantha and Claire is the fear that their father has become fundamentally different because of his libido, somehow alien to them; he has vanished into the woods to meet his lover, and he has been bitten by the snake; it will kill him  or worse yet, it will change him.

It is represented in mens hats for summer a range of literary guises from Poe s maelstrom to the horror at the end of Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness to Lovecraft s elder god Cthulhu, a creature who presents such a dangerous vision of the universe that he cannot be seen without causing madness: The Specialist s Hat terrifies us in much the same way that Lovecraft terrifies us: it hints at an encounter with something which is beyond the realm of our experience  death  and yet which is simultaneously so deeply embedded in our own nature that it is always already there .
