Yahoo News Best Peaky Blinders gifts: merch, fashion and products inspired by the hit BBC series
The sixth and final series of Steven Knight’s interwar drama is finally here.
The first episode the new Peaky Blinders’s swansong will premiere on BBC One on Sunday, February 27at 9pm, more than two years after the explosive series five finale.
Normally a time to wind-down the weekend, if you’re anything like us, you’ll spend the next couple of weeks glued to the box preparing to dive, once again, into the darkly compelling world of the Peaky Blinders.
Caught in the limbo between two world wars, the story of the infamous Shelby family's rise to power from the squalor of Birmingham’s Small Heath has captured our collective imaginations in ways that stretch far beyond the small screen.
As well as having us all affect bad Brummie accents after a few gins, the Peaky Blinders effect has also seeped into the worlds of fashion, beauty and perhaps inevitably given the Shelby family business, booze too.
Its inspired men’s haircuts, led a revival for vintage-looking fashion (Kent & Curwen, the fashion label co-owned by David Beckham, released a collection riffing on the show’s twenties aesthetic earlier this year, complete with ‘The Garrison Tailors’ labels), and has given us a new-found appreciation for the humble flat cap. You can even get your mitts on a Peaky Blinders Irish Whisky.
There’s a lot of love for Peaky Blinders out there, but in the bleak midwinter of online novelty products, we’re here to shine a light on the cream of the crop.
If you want the Shelby look without the family drama and vengeful bloodshed, scroll on to find a selection of the best Peaky Blinders-inspired fashion, merch and products.
The Garrison Tailors Thomas Tweed Suit
Handmade in Britain, this 100 per cent wool suit comes from The Garrison Tailors, a label set up by the show's writer and creator Stephen Knight CBE. If you’ve admired Tommy’s style as much as his ruthlessness, this suit offers a way to add some of his fashion savvy to your wardrobe with no vendetta backlash.
From £595 | The Garrison Tailors
Melton Wool Grey Herringbone Newsboy Cap
Made from a wool blend, this iconic hat comes in five sizes. There are dozens more styles available but we reckon this is the one Tommy would give his (barely imperceptible) nod of approval.
Peaky Blinders Club/Penny Collar Blue & White Bengal Stripe Slim Fit Shirt
A dead-ringer for the pristine (pre-duel, anyway) shirts favoured by the head of the Shelby Company Limited.
Gatsby Hi Boot Leather Tan/Green
A pair of well-worn boots are a key part of the Blinders ensemble. Get the look with these beautifully crafted pair of brogue boots, which come in plain leather or with a rakish green inlay. Navy version also available.
M&S Collection Check Waistcoat
You'll rarely see a Blinder sans waistcoat. Look for natural fabrics in classic patterns like tweed, chevron and herringbone for that razor smart early 30s look.
The Little Boys Room Personalised Sixpence Money Clip
No, there's no Daniel in the new series, but if there were, you can bet your bottom dollar this is one accessory he would keep in his pocket. The silver-plated cash essential can be engraved with a name of your choice, making it a lovely vintage-look gift for a Peaky fan. Alternatively, you can add a date, initials or a special message instead.
Rotary Men's Gold Plated Skeleton Pocket Watch
Whether he’s late for a meeting with the resurrected Alfie Solomans or merely bored at a deal-gone-wrong, Tommy is rarely without his faithful timepiece. Now you too can count down the minutes to your own epic showdown with... even if it’s only with your lunchtime sarnie. Do it Peaky style with this beautiful pocket watch.
