How about The "Raffles" stories by E.W.Hornung, since you have just read the Sherlock Holmes ones?

"One of the things that Raffles has in common with Holmes is a mastery of disguise"
"As Holmes has Dr. Watson to chronicle his adventures, Raffles has Harry "Bunny" Manders"

A bit of background to the series, courtesy of Wikipedia [Warning: if you're not familiar with the stories, there are some minor "spoilers" here!]

Spoiler:
A.J. Raffles is a character created in the 1890s by E. W. Hornung, a brother-in-law to Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Raffles is, in many ways, a deliberate inversion of Holmes — he is a "gentleman thief," living in "The Albany", a very upscale address in London, playing cricket for the "Gentlemen of England" and supporting himself by carrying out ingenious burglaries. He is called the "Amateur Cracksman," and often, at first, differentiates between himself and the "professors" — professional criminals from the lower classes.
