You even see people with T-shirts saying, “By order of the Peaky Blinders” these days. Other than graphic tees, it has influenced menswear with the resurgence of 20s-style silhouettes. 03:21 Who Were The Real Peaky Blinders? There was actually a gang called “Peaky Blinders” in the Birmingham of the 1880s until the late 19-teens. They were known for vandalism, burglaries, mugging, and street fighting. Eventually, they conquered rival gangs and became involved with underground casinos, sports betting, and protection rackets. 05:00 Historical Context & Period Accuracy The 1920s, especially the latter part of it, were a transitional period for menswear. In the early part of the decade, pants or trousers were much slimmer; everything was more inspired by body coats. Towards the end and into the early 30s, things changed – the drape cut was invented, everything was fuller, and, later on, even pleats appeared. Also, shirt collars changed dramatically; whereas before, your detachable collars that were washed and started separately from the shirt, the Americans really favored softer attached collars that were much more comfortable to wear. 06:10 Peaky Blinders Outfits: 1.

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. If you want the original old experience, Vintagebursche has a really great video about that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnDhe_heYvU If you want the modern take on it, we have something on our website. https://gentl.mn/peaky-blinders-style 32:20 Outfit Rundown
