Product Information

Speaking of Peaky Blinders shoes, there are some features to which a special attention should be paid. Especially, if you want to accomplish the fully authentic look. As mentioned earlier, you’ll also need to get non-machine washable stiff collars professionally laundered. As it’s a unique specialist process, few laundries still do this. After all, tie bars were originally a practical accessory designed to keep the tie in place in the absence of a waistcoat. By wearing a waistcoat, you no longer need that tool to do the job. Therefore, it looks like wearing a belt with suspenders.

As for the waistcoat, Tommy Shelby would wear a vest with notch lapels in earlier seasons. This could be considered somewhat anachronistic as lapels on waistcoats was more popular during the late-19th Century and pre-War Belle Époque eras. In the series, though, they all tend to wear what are generally referred to as Newsboy Caps. However, Newsboy Caps can have lots of different names depending on the retailer and where you live. One of the most iconic aspect of the Peaky Blinders, which carries their namesake, is their distinctive headgear! Historically, Birmingham’s ruffians would wear just about any flat cap of the time. After all, they weren’t exactly wealthy and wore what they could find. When buying a stiff collar, you’ll need it to be a half-inch larger than your typical collar size. This is because it wraps around the fabric of the tunic so you’ll need more space for it to fit properly.However, I also like sky blue or Bengal striped tunics as they offer some contrast against the shirt. Sadly, TM Lewin’s future is uncertain given the closure of their UK stores. Consequently, who knows whether they will be continuing this style? Today, trousers tend to be worn low on the hips. Therefore, when you wear a waistcoat, it’s too high and you can see the shirt in-between. Be mindful of this when buying a suit and make sure that the leg and rise are long enough so you can properly wear a waistcoat.

For instance, there are certain contemporary cuts and fabrics that look great in their own right. Yet, they don’t quite work when combined with a vintage-inspired Peaky Blinders look. Finally, the trousers have a high rise, which means that they sit at the waist rather than on the hips. As for the cut, it’s generous but not as baggy as the those worn by the working class during the period. Similarly, the front is usually plain without any pleats.Now let’s talk about the watch! A key ingredient to the Peaky Blinder look is an Albert chain on the waistcoat that usually features a fob that dangles at the top.

As mentioned in the comments below by one of our readers, the Peaky Blinders become renowned cigar smokers in later seasons. Going to buy a pair of Peaky Blinders shoes? Great! Then you should pay attention to a few other important points. Firstly, the tie needs to be thin. Not only is this more authentic for both the period and the show but stiff collars are small and can’t handle wide ties and knots. You’ll want to also do a very simple single knot, tie it tight, and then shape it into a little trapezium.As mentioned above, the suits worn by the Peaky Blinders have certain distinctive details that set them apart. We’ve already talked about the fabrics but what about the rest? However, it was occasionally present in post-war men’s fashion as can be seen in the show. In later seasons, Shelby and his crew forego lapels on their waistcoats altogether as they enter the 1920s. Similarly, the bottom of the waistcoat can be tipped or straight. Finally, you might want to consider a few accessories to really bring the entire Peaky Blinders outfit together. Of course, we already discussed caps and ties so we’ll focus on hardware like watches, tie bars and cufflinks. Finally, a nice touch is to not pull the tie all the way up to the top of the collar. This would be sloppy with a regular shirt, but if well-placed, you can have the tie knot slightly under the collar stud to show off the metal. Firstly, the key to making a Peaky Blinders outfit work besides authenticity as I mentioned earlier is coordination. When assembling clothing from different brands and outlets, take note of the colours, textures, and patterns to make sure that it’s nicely coordinated.
