    Peaky Blinders

    p.s. i'm not against modern scores used in period films / TV dramas; just in this case i would have preferred something that sounded era and place inspired. if they'd asked me i would have delved into UK music from that place and period then done a modern 'darker' take on it, to go with the...

    Peaky Blinders

    i thought they were a bit too severe for 1918. looking through the 'vintage people on photo postcards' book, you don't see (m)any such hard edged undercuts in that time period. not that i'm saying they wouldn't have existed at all, but i think they've gone for it in the programme because it...

    Peaky Blinders

    the shirt without collar is usually the working class standard look in TV dramas. as these guys are working class gangsters, they might have wanted to 'spiv' them up a bit (by adding a stiff collar) but not too much (by adding a tie). they will probably progress to ties in a couple of episodes...

    Peaky Blinders

    not bad. everything is very dark and grey so difficult to get a really close look. only thing that really grated for me, was the use of modern music... a man walks across a Birmingham street, into a dingy house, through a secret door into the gang 'headquarters'. cue: slide blues rock guitar ???

    help with a grey jacket

    cream / off white trousers would work too (even better if they have a grey pinstripe in them).

    The Classic Club Collar Shirts

    might have been a way for the more expensive brands to produce collars that were 'exclusive' to each shirt design ... just for added 'luxury' appeal ?

    US Blind Stitch 118-S Sewing Machine For Hats

    JG, do you mean attaching leather sweat bands to felt hats ? i have zero experience with hat making, but i own a blind stitch machine very similar to the images you've posted and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't be able to do hats. the needle is curved and swings in sideways rather than the usual up...
