For the last few weeks we have all been hooked here at Red Wing Amsterdam with one of the latest tv series from the BBC: "Peaky Blinders". A great series telling the story of a gang by the name of Peaky Blinders, set in Birmingham just after WWI. In the series the gangsters are most feared for the razorblades they keep in their Stetson Hatteras caps they pull out when it comes to a fight. Whether you are into early 20th century men's fashion (think well tailored tweed suits, paperboy hats and slick haircuts) or just a good old grimey gangster story, this is a must-see series. Even though the series are not entirely true to the real story of the Peaky Blinders, the original pictures are mind-blowing. See some of the mugshots taken from the gang-members here and if you're interested here's an interview with historian Carl Chinn about the real Peaky Blinders.
