Wigens Flat Caps in the Style of the Peaky Blinders
This flat cap would have suited Tommy Shelby perfectly.
The British series Peaky Blinders – Gangs of Birmingham has captivated audiences since 2013 with its raw aesthetics, complex characters, and iconic style. Set in 1920s and early 1930s England, the show stars Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, alongside Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby) and Helen McCrory.
Historical Background – Flat Caps & Razor Blades
The show’s title refers to a real gang from Birmingham active around 1890. The name “Peaky Blinders” is believed to have originated from the flat caps (or “peaked caps”) they wore, allegedly hiding razor blades in the brim as weapons. Although the blade story remains a legend, the gang's influence was real. The creators also drew inspiration from the historical Brummagem Boys led by William "Billy" Kimber, who controlled lucrative horse racing bets across England.
Cinematography & Soundtrack
The series is known for its stylized visuals, slow motion scenes, and a retro, Western-like atmosphere. Its haunting soundtrack features Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, The White Stripes, and Tom Waits. Filming locations include Birmingham, Leeds, and Liverpool.
