Step into a room and feel the look do the talking. Heather brings the confident lines of the 1920s into clothes and caps you will actually wear, with craftsmanship that lasts. At Shelby Brothers we stock the Netherlands exclusive Heather collection for people who want authentic Peaky Blinders inspired style, not a costume.
What makes Heather special?
Heather builds on classic patterns and careful tailoring to create pieces that look right and wear well. The brand uses materials like rugged tweed and soft wool blends, and each item shows attention to small details such as reinforced stitching and authentic linings. The result is clothing and headwear that reads as heritage, with the durability to be worn every season. Fans of the show appreciate the historical accuracy, and style minded customers appreciate the finish.
Heather hats classic styles reimagined
The Heather range covers roomy newsboy caps, fitted flat caps and classic hats with gentle, original shapes. If you want a textured newsboy for relaxed weekends choose a fuller profile. If you prefer a streamlined flat cap for daily wear choose a sleeker cut that sits closer to the head. Every cap keeps the 1920s silhouette in mind while adding modern comfort and better fit.
How to choose the right Heather cap
Start with fit. Measure the circumference of your head and pick the size that sits snug but not tight. Heather caps are made to sit low on the forehead to capture that era correct look. Next think about fabric. Tweed and heavier wools provide structure and warmth for colder months. Lighter wools and blends work well in transitional weather or for indoor wear. Finally consider the mood you want to create. A newsboy cap makes a strong vintage statement. A flat cap offers a more understated and tailored feel. Match weave and color to your coat or jacket for a cohesive look.
Materials craftsmanship and modern functionality
Heather combines heritage fabrics with practical updates. Many caps include breathable linings, reinforced brims and water resistant treatments so you can wear them in real life without worrying about damage. At Shelby Brothers we check every hat for finish and fit before it reaches our store. The goal is a product that looks period accurate but stands up to daily use.
Caring for your Heather hat
To keep the shape and fabric in top condition: Brush gently with a soft clothes brush to remove dust and surface dirt. Spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent; avoid soaking the fabric. Allow wet items to dry naturally away from direct heat and sunlight. Store caps on a hat stand or inside a breathable bag to preserve structure.
