@@felonymelody4773 All states have provisions to allow for concealed carry, but some states have really intense requirements while other states have almost no requirements. There are also differences in what guns you're allowed to purchase and carry depending on which state you're in. Illinois and Chicago specifically have some of the stricter gun laws in the country, but it's not nearly as bad as California or New York though.
I grew up in Birmingham. Even up until the 80's it was normal for working class men to put on their "Sunday best". That was a good suit, shirt and tie....and shoes polished to a gloss and often a trilby or flat cap. Sunday lunchtime at the pub would see men dressed immaculately. Those men, my father and uncles included, were ex forces, having fought in WW2, and took pride in their appearance even if they worked in engineering companies like BSA, Lucas and Austin motors during the week. Their military background, like Shelby, shone through with immaculately pressed shirts and trousers and a "spit and polish" shine on their shoes.
I wish men would still take pride in they appearance like this. My family is from the black country and I have heard my dad and my grandparents speaking about how men used to dress in this way, even though they didn’t have a lot of money. And, from what I’ve heard, the newsboy cap was pretty popular too! Not sure if you remember that being particularly prominent?
@@Gent.Z My grandfather, who lived in central Birmingham near Gas St Basin, wore a flat cap. I have pictures on him in it. Judging by the shape it appears to be a newsboy style. He also smoked a sculptured Meerschaum pipe which I still have. Funnily a couple of years back I went into a bar in France, where I now live, and a local enquired where I'm from. When I said Birmingham he was made up ! Turns out he was a massive Peaky Blinder fan. Last year I visited another bar/restaurant for lunch and wore my newsboy hat. As soon as I entered the owner pointed at me and said "Peaky Blinder" 😂 It must be a popular series in France.
Try high rise pants. Since the rise sits on your belly button and not you hips, that will definitely hide a mid section. Also instead of a belt, consider braces/suspenders. ( the kind you button, not clip)
Pocket watches are technically not "necessary" but to pull of the look you need a chain. Waistcoats look fine on their own but the watch chain takes it to that next level.
Just bought a selection of first flat caps made of linen for the summer, followed by several newsboys caps made from Irish tweed for the winter. I think I like the look of the newsboys caps better. They seem to border better with my white/grey long beard. Will see.
Just bought a PW made in 1928. If anyone wants an affordable piece of art work, I suggest looking into a vintage pocket watches. Their movements are mesmerizing. It's a good ice breaker with the lovely ladies too.
Perter Christians has some cool, different looking waist coats. Just bought one with revolvers printed all over for the pattern. I always get a lot of compliments on it. It makes the lovely ladies start thinking about how my love gun might work on them.
I need to get more waistcoats. Still, I’ve worn charcoal suits and dress pants with a sport coat with my newsboy type hats and I’ve head people say “Peaky Blinders” around me.
I'd love to wear a club collar, I think they look very cute on women and sharp on men. Long dark coats are the best, I just took my charcoal coat off to sit in my favorite Cafe, I adore winter in no small part because of the clothes. My brother loves eccentric, old fashioned style and he sometimes wear a pocket watch. My other brother is a goof and loves the look of a tophat and wears it sometimes during winter. This isn't for me, though I respect the individuality. ;) Your guidance, knowledge, and smart outfits are always lovely to see, till next time.
And the cool part is that there is people on UA-cam who dress in historical clothing, and some men do dress like how they did on peaky blinders Not in a modern way. but in a historically accurate way. and I myself want to dress like how men did in the 19th and 20th century
yep tip no 1 ,, go out only in winter /fall ,, if you want to be well dress in winter ,, is actually what you gone wear ,, heavy 3 pice with over coat , and what hat you gone wear if is cold ,, option are bini ,, basball , beret , if you re well dress you gone wear a , fedora trilby or flat cap or baker cap ,,
Sir, first off I want to thank you for putting out content I'm really learning a lot from you. I was wondering if a pair of dark leather wingtips could be paired with odd trousers and a sportscoat kind of outfit. Also, I was wondering if a pair of black pleated trousers could be used as odd trousers, I've seen it many times and I think that it looks really good. However, I am kind of afraid to try it for myself. (Sorry if my English is wrong) and Thankyou for considering my dilemma.
Thank you! I think that the first outfit combination would work nicely. As for the black trousers, you could wear them without a jacket or with a dark grey jacket. But I would keep that to the night time because black is too serious for day occasions.
I second that! If you feel good in your clothes, you look good. I have been wearing waistcoats for decades now, dark overcoats, flatcaps and newsboy caps since I can remember, so everybody would wonder what’s wrong if I did NOT wear them😅
I grew up just outside of Birmingham, where it was quite normal for men to wear these caps even before the show, but it's not a look I am personally a big fan of.
The newsboy / driving cap style was all the rage around 5-10 years ago. Just google David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds newsboy cap and you can see some awesome casual outfit ideas. I do wish the style would come back. Besides baseball caps and beanies there isn't really any acceptable mens headwear nowadays.
Why the hell is cringe the flat cap is better with suits than a cap and the pocket watch is not that bad im wearing those things almost everyday wait not almost everyday but everyday yes you hear that right the only reason to not wear it is when i have gym on school otherwise ill go to school with suit yep you hear that right and if i want to go for a walk ill wear a suit to wear casual clothes in a walk is the rarest thing that i can do and im wearing casual clothes only on my village (cause my suit for the village now is torn apart why it was really old a i used it as clipboard suit yes you hear that right) and I have experience with those clothes and from my experience no 1 cares about it
What's cool is, as an American, I can also carry a revolver if I'm feeling extra cheeky
I feel so fancy with my kimber k6s on my waistband
@@PatJSchreiber Beat me 2 it! Just like grandpa use to say: 'never leave you dna behind'.
Luckyyyy
Can you actually walk around armed in public or was that a joke? Like, I genuinely don't know because US gun laws are actually so messed up lol

As a bigger guy, I think a waistcoat is always a great option to hide that mid section a bit.
You're right there!

Bigger guy? You mean a man good sir. You’re welcome.
Also great for appendix carry! Boom! Vicious breeds of dogs are everywhere in this Orwellian, k9 worshipping culture of today.
I realize Tommy was a gangster but he is a man I could respect in real life and not out of fear.

Thanks for your comment, Jeremiah! Club collars are so cool and I intend to add one to my wardrobe very soon!
Your brothers cool.
Can you recommend some premium brands for a long trench coat of finer quality?
I’ve checked Ralph Lauren but they don’t have what Im looking for.

I wear clothes under 1940s inspiration. Fedoras´ a must.
@@marciocorrea8531 That's cool.!
That's great! So do i, Love the elegant but also casual look

You missed off one of Tommy Shelby’s main accessories: a Webley Revolver. Can’t call yourself well dressed without one!
And get arrested. I may dress like a Shelby but I don’t have the police under my control 😂
which caliber and model plz? Webley's looked like they are the size of a anvil!
unless you will in the USA, I would not recommend to wear a revolver in public
Long term use of waistcoat pockets causes them to drupe (pocket watches/torches). Best to leave them sewn.
I can hear him talking but I can't help but keep looking at his eyebrows.
Now I cannot unsee them. Damnit man. Well played. lol
I really want that one coat of his that has the red lining.
You forgot the pants and suspenders
a dark green would work?
It’s ok. But I would still go with the colours he mentioned
you did not call vintage outfits cringe
Yep. He did. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
I think a man can wear whatever pleases him.
I second that! If you feel good in your clothes, you look good. I have been wearing waistcoats for decades now, dark overcoats, flatcaps and newsboy caps since I can remember, so everybody would wonder what’s wrong if I did NOT wear them😅
Just take out the pocket watch of the original style 🤷♂️
Spoiler alert bruv
real, it just ruined it for me
Sorry but that news boy cap looks ridiculous! It makes him look like a character on Little Rascals, spanky or buckwheat, like a clown?

@@star42it’s definitely preferable to the beanie or the baseball cap in my opinion
@@Gent.Z LOL Tell that to my fiancé She despise the newsboy caps for some reason. :(
@@Gent.Z I mean almost anything short of wearing a traffic cone is preferable to almost any beanie or a baseball cap.😆
you are just too insecure to rock the full vintage outfit
Wear fedoras!
