Peaky Blinders Shirts
Peaky Blinders Shirts at TruClothing
Peaky Blinders shirts at TruClothing are based on the styles worn throughout the series, including collarless shirts, round collar designs, penny collar shirts, and subtle striped patterns typical of the 1920s. These shirts reflect how working men dressed in Britain during the late 1910s and 1920s, when shirts were worn daily as part of practical, well-structured outfits.
Shirts from this period were made to sit neatly under three piece suits, waistcoats, and heavy overcoats, keeping their shape through long days of wear. The Peaky Blinder shirt is defined by its collar construction, fit, and fabric rather than decorative detail. At TruClothing, we specialise in tailored menswear and focus on accurate design, reliable sizing, and quality materials, offering Peaky Blinders shirts that work naturally as part of a modern wardrobe while staying true to 1920s shirts in cut and construction.
What Shirts Do They Wear in Peaky Blinders?
In Peaky Blinders, the most recognisable shirts are collarless styles and penny collar shirts. Detachable collars were common in the early 20th century, which is why removable collar shirts appear so often throughout the series.
The collarless shirt worn by many characters is now known as a grandad or round collar shirt and was practical for long days of work, especially when worn under a waistcoat. Penny collar shirts, fastened with a coin at the collar points, were commonly worn for business and social settings.
Most Peaky Blinder shirts are made using plain cotton poplin or subtle vertical stripes, designed to sit cleanly under tailoring. Decorative prints were not part of everyday menswear during this period.

FAQs
What are the shirts called in Peaky Blinders?
The shirts worn in Peaky Blinders are mainly collarless shirts and penny collar shirts. These styles were common in the 1920s, especially when worn with detachable collars and three piece suits.
How should a Peaky Blinders shirt fit?
A Peaky Blinder shirt should sit close to the body without pulling across the chest. In the 1920s, shirts were designed to be worn tucked in with high waisted trousers and layered under a waistcoat, so excess fabric was avoided. Slim fit styles suit tailored looks, while classic fit shirts offer more room through the body.
Can Peaky Blinders shirts be worn without a full suit?
Yes. While these shirts were originally worn with three-piece suits, they also work well with tailored trousers and braces. Collarless and penny collar shirts can be worn on their own or under knitwear, making them practical for modern wardrobes without losing their period character.
What should you wear with a Peaky Blinders shirt?
A Peaky Blinders shirt is best worn with tailored trousers, braces, and a waistcoat. High waisted trousers create the correct shape through the body, while leather boots or lace up shoes suit the period styling. Collarless shirts also work well under a wool jacket without a tie, reflecting how men dressed for everyday wear in the 1920s.
