The iconic Peaky Blinders look is far more than a costume it is a craft-based style defined by character, texture, and personality. In this video we show how a contemporary tailored suit can be translated into an authentic, rustic Peaky Blinders aesthetic. We take you through fabrics, silhouettes, and styling choices that make or break this look both for those who simply love the style and for grooms seeking a more distinctive wedding outfit.
What makes a Peaky Blinders suit authentic?
In the video you can see how the look is built around three key elements:
1) Fabrics with character
We work extensively with natural, tactile materials such as tweed, donegal, and flannel. These fabrics add depth and structure, reinforcing the vintage feel. Typical colors include warm browns, olive green, charcoal, and muted greys, timeless and masculine.
2) The silhouette
A Peaky Blinders inspired bespoke suit often features a slightly higher waist, a defined yet wearable shoulder line, and a classic cut that looks tailored without feeling tight. The result is a look that feels solid, elegant, and comfortable.
3) Details that make the difference
Small choices define the character of the suit: double pleats in the trousers, a three-piece construction with waistcoat, vintage-style lapels, and subtle patterns such as herringbone or check. These details add personality without becoming theatrical.
Two clients, one strong look
At De Oost we create Peaky Blinders suits for two types of clients:
Style enthusiasts
Men who do not typically wear suits but are drawn to this vintage aesthetic. For them, we create a bespoke suit that feels truly personal, comfortable, distinctive, and authentic.
Grooms with a rustic vision
For wedding clients who want something beyond a sleek modern suit, and prefer more character and storytelling in their outfit. The Peaky Blinders style works particularly well for countryside, industrial, or historic wedding venues — as a stylish alternative wedding suit with individuality and class.
