Step into the world of Shelby Brothers and feel the pull of a different era. Our mens coats carry the grit and elegance of the 1920s with tailoring that fits modern life. If you want a coat that looks like it belongs in Peaky Blinders and performs like a wardrobe workhorse, you have found it.
Our signature Peaky Blinders coat: authenticity and craftsmanship
Every coat in our collection is guided by careful study of 1920s and 1930s shapes and fabrics. As the only official Peaky Blinders licensee in the Netherlands, Shelby Brothers focuses on authentic silhouettes such as heavy wool overcoats, tweed topcoats and horsehide leather options that age beautifully. You will notice structured shoulders, period correct lapels and sturdy materials like Melton wool and woven tweed, all finished with quality linings and hand stitched details.
Choosing the right mens coat: fit, fabric and function
Start by deciding how you will use the coat. Need a formal option to wear over a suit? Go with a long wool topcoat cut to sit comfortably over a jacket. Looking for everyday wear that still has character? A cropped leather coat or a classic tweed will do the job. Take accurate measurements of chest, shoulder and sleeve length and think about how many layers you will wear under the coat. Each product page lists precise dimensions, fabric information and fit notes so you can find the right size for your frame.
Coats that blend heritage with modern utility
We do not just copy period garments. We keep the spirit and add practical touches for life today. Many coats come with reinforced pockets sized for modern phones and wallets, comfortable linings that stand up to daily use and discreet inner compartments for documents or small devices. These are coats with vintage character that work for real life.
Styling tips: how to wear a mens coat with Peaky flair
Create looks that feel authentic without stepping into costume. Pair a long wool overcoat with a three piece suit for formal evenings. For weekends, throw a leather coat over a knit and a pair of rigid jeans for a raw, put together look. Top the outfit with a baker boy cap and leather boots to complete the Peaky inspired silhouette. Keep accessories subtle and well made to maintain a lived in, credible style.
Care and maintenance for wool and leather coats
A good coat lasts decades when it is cared for. For wool and tweed, brush regularly to remove surface dirt, air garments after wear and use a specialist dry cleaner when needed. For leather, condition once a year with a quality leather balm and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Store coats on shaped hangers in breathable garment bags to preserve the structure and prevent creasing.
