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.

This scene emphasizes both the working-class nature of peaked and flat caps and the ubiquity of designs, collars, and styles available.

A worldwide audience of millions caught the first sneak peek of the production last year, when the dancers from the show performed memorably at the closing routine of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Now, audiences are getting to enjoy the full, exhilarating experience of the Shelby family saga reinterpreted on the stage through dance.

Similarly, their tunic shirts are authentic replicas of the period but I preferred TM Lewin’s modern ones as they have double “French” cuffs for cufflinks. After all, the Peaky Blinders do begin to wear cufflinks in later seasons and I like the added hardware that it offers.

Rather than throw away the shirt, the collar would be replaced but it was an arduous task. Therefore, it became popular to buy them separately and the collar would be attached using metal fasteners. Lastly, I’d like to touch on using a style as inspiration but not getting too bogged down in blinded loyalty. You may have noticed in a number of the photos above that I played around with the Peaky Blinders style but added a significant personal touch.Because of heavy air pollution and sometimes irregular bathing schedules, shirt collars and cuffs, which were very easy to soil, were detachable for most of menswear history, so that they could be easily washed or replaced. In general, Twenties and Thirties suits are distinguished primarily by their breadth. Lapels are wide, cuts are fuller, and there is generally more padding. Fabric choices were also more plush, giving clothing a fuller look, and there was less waist suppression, although the inverted v silhouette remained very popular. As the seasons progress, the Peaky Blinders evolve past solids and into the prints and stripes that will dominate the 1930s. Suit material, however, remains functional, heavy-weight wool, an ideal fabric for the regular wear-and-tear of early 20th century life and to handle the especially rough lives of the Peaky Blinders.
