About this deal
Helen and I were very collaborative, and it was such a joy because she really understood the importance of costume. She always had this sway in her hips, this kind of youth and confidence. [The costumes] were embellishing upon that. The actor is the canvas — whatever she was giving, I was dressing. Don’t fear though, our costume suggestions won’t require you to lop off all your hair or buy a very expensive suit. The RadioTimes.com team has hunted down some great options so you can hit the town — or your next Halloween party — in style as a Peaky Blinder.

It is revealed that Grace survived her confrontation with Inspector Campbell, by shooting him through her handbag in the leg. Two years later, Grace is now married to Clive Macmillan, a rich banker and living in Poughkeepsie, New York. However, her feelings for Thomas have not faded. When she comes to London, she meets Thomas and they make love. She later reveals to him that not only is she still in love with him, but she’s now carrying his child. Now, as season 5 of show approaches, Daniel Kearns sums up our collective obsession with the Shelby brothers’ look – and it’s not all about the famous Peaky Blinders hairstyle: “I have always found that era to be incredibly inspirational, when men dressed with empowerment but also with a new sense of freedom, when new things felt possible. The costumes from Peaky Blinders are not just a sartorial uniform, they feel like armour: they empower and protect the characters, and I love that idea. I think we all need a little armour in our lives sometimes.” If you are a fan of the series, make sure you’re up to date with all the latest Peaky Blinders teasers and all the rumours about a Peaky Blinders movie.

Early in the series, Inspector Campbell exhibited what seemed to be fatherly concern and affection for Grace, when he tells her to be careful in her undercover work around the Peaky Blinders and particularly Thomas Shelby. A three-piece, two or three button suit is the cornerstone of the Shelby look. Initially made from plain tweed, the materials get richer in line with their fortunes until even John Shelby has the look of English landed gentry, to match the gang’s country estate. Michael Gray, with his outsider position as Polly’s estranged son, has a more middle-class look, often wearing full pinstripes. The trousers were either pleated or flat fronted, were held up by braces and were finished with short hems to show off the boots. It’s a huge part of [each] character. Cillian’s tailor is located in Ireland, and he has worked with Cillian since Season 4, fine-tuning his suits and his coats. His shirts are made elsewhere, and then the boots somewhere else. It’s very important to have the fit correct. Can you imagine an established man in society not having his clothing fit perfectly?
