Peaky Blinders Cufflinks with Presentation Box Silver

Product Information

The work-a-day Shelby look is typified by an almost military take on urban tailoring in durable woollens, serges and tweeds, combining three-piece suits, sturdy boots, oversized coats and of course those caps. The undercut hairstyles of Peaky Blinders certainly had an impact on society today and there are many videos that you can find that talk just about how to get that exact haircut. Actually, it’s fairly simple. You just shave down the sides, don’t even need much of a transition, and have a longer top, and voila! That’s how it goes. We’ve certainly tried it before. This type of cap was a working class hat and the Peaky Blinders often combine that with a much more expensive suit, which is not something a working-class man would have worn.

They wear newsboy caps, which were for the working class. Sometimes, you would see men also wearing them from upper classes for very casual country wear but, more typically, these were flat caps that didn’t have the button in the middle and were less voluminous. 2. OvercoatsSeveral of the suits worn by Cillian Murphy, who is the main character of the show, were tailored by the English tailor Keith Watson from original old fabrics. It’s also rumored that the English production company Darcy Clothing had a hand in their customs, but I don’t know specifics so I can’t make any claims. Who Were The Real Peaky Blinders? If you look closely at the edge treatment of this bowler hat, it looks much more like a modern one versus original old ones that had really a sharp crease – more like that one of a top hat. And we have a few vintage ones here and you can really see the difference. The old ones that we have are so much more elegant than what he wears in the show. The brim curls on the modern bowler hats are just not comparable.

Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) It seems that Alison McCosh is a woman of our own heart. Why? Well, she said, “I find that today’s fabrics don’t tell the true story.” I couldn’t agree more. Peaky Blinders season six has ended, proving Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is still the master of turning a profit with no end of side hustles on the go, from booze and betting to... far more illegal things. The show itself has exploded in popularity in recent years, which means it has more (non-bootleg) merchandise that you can shake a razorblade-encrusted flat cap at.

They may be economically successful, but they remain resentful of a privileged few. To display their wealth and power, they may choose nice jewelry and expensive fabrics. But, to keep it real and grounded, they choose the lower-class working styles. In a nutshell, they could dress like aristocrats, but prefer to dress like gangsters. 1. Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) Fortune Telling OutfitAgain, there were a lot more patterns for suits and we don’t really see that in the show, but I get it. You can only use the vintage fabric you can actually find. You can’t just make it up and re-weave it. I mean, you could, but obviously that didn’t go through those lengths. In the show, the high buttoning point on the suits and coats is period-accurate.

Every man wants to be a bit more Tommy Shelby, the notorious and charismatic gang lord of the Peaky Blinders. Not the wanton criminality and cut-throat violence, you understand, nor the penchant for self-destruction and colourful language. I think, in the show, the costume designers wanted to ensure that the Peaky Blinders have a certain “I don’t give a damn” attitude, which makes them pair a city coat with a tweed suit and a newsboy cap, even though they could afford to dress like aristocrats at the time because they did have the money. Tommy’s hairstyle typically gives a rougher, more modern appearance. But, looking at older photos, this style was certainly around in the 20s. Maybe it also gives them a reminiscence of Julius Caesar, who had a similar forward-facing hairstyle. This hairstyle evolved from the curtain hairstyle. It was very practical because you could keep it short, probably even at home, and it would still give you an overall clean look. Also, it gave you versatility because the top could be styled in different ways.The fabrics were accurate, the cuts were often period accurate, and they also paid attention to the accessories like suspender buttons and the suspenders. Maybe the overcoats weren’t quite long enough at times, but still much longer than in many other period shows. Arthur Shelby in a casual country wear featuring a pair of suspenders.
