Step into a green suit that turns heads without shouting. At Shelby Brothers we blend Peaky Blinders inspired attitude with modern tailoring to create garments that feel lived in from the first wear. As the only official Peaky Blinders licensee in the Netherlands, our pieces are built on craftsmanship, authenticity and a love for 1920s style.
Why choose a green suit?
Green has depth and personality. From deep forest and hunter tones to olive and bottle shades, green offers an elegant alternative to navy and grey. It reads as confident and refined while still being unexpected. A green suit can look formal at a wedding or relaxed at a city bar, depending on fabric and accessories. Our approach pairs period accurate details like wide lapels and matching waistcoats with contemporary cuts that move and breathe.
Styles and fits: find the right men's green suit
Our collection includes bespoke three piece suits inspired by the 1920s, modern single breasted cuts for everyday wear, and heavier tweed options for cold weather. Fit matters more than label, so we focus on shoulder shape, lapel proportion and waist suppression to flatter different bodies. Choose a single breasted suit with narrower lapels for a sleeker, contemporary silhouette. Opt for a double breasted or a three piece set with a matching waistcoat for a look that channels the show with authenticity.
How to style a green suit
A green suit is versatile to style. Pair it with a crisp white shirt and brown leather brogues for a classic outfit. Add a knitted tie and a patterned pocket square for texture and personality. For a more relaxed vibe wear a roll neck sweater and clean sneakers, or swap the shoes for leather boots in cooler months. Accessories from our collection like flat caps, pocket watches and leather satchels complete the look and tie the heritage elements to modern life.
Fabrics care and durability
Pick your fabric by season and use. Wool and tweed give structure and warmth, while lightweight wool blends and linen blends suit warmer days. We select fabrics for good drape and long term wear. To keep the suit in top condition brush it after wearing, let it air before storing and dry clean only when necessary. Store on a shaped hanger to preserve the shoulder and lapel lines and rotate suits so each one gets a rest.
Authenticity and the Peaky Blinders connection
Shelby Brothers started when two passionate fans decided to bring the show to life through clothing. Our status as the only official Peaky Blinders licensee in the Netherlands means we pay attention to small details that matter. Stitching, linings and period correct cuts appear alongside subtle modern touches like inner pockets designed for everyday life. Buying from us is about investing in a garment that tells a story and holds up to real wear.
