There’s style, and then there’s Shelby style. For fans of the swaggering Brummie gangsters who captivated millions, a rare opportunity has arrived to own original costumes from Peaky Blinders – and it’s all for an extraordinary cause.
In a move as sharp as a Shelby blade, an exclusive online auction has launched featuring wardrobe pieces from the BBC’s global smash hit. Hosted by Omega Auctions, the sale runs until Tuesday 20 May, with every penny raised going to The Christie Charity – supporting cancer patients and trailblazing research at Manchester’s world-renowned Christie NHS Foundation Trust.
Whether you’re a die-hard Peaky devotee or a vintage fashion aficionado, this is your chance to own a tangible slice of TV royalty. Among the headline items? Tommy Shelby’s final scene three-piece suit – complete with a handwritten script note tucked into the pocket – “Takes off ring.” Poetic, haunting, and iconic.
There’s also Polly Gray’s intricately stitched coat from Series 3, and a fur felt hat worn by none other than Oswald Mosley. These aren’t just clothes – they’re cultural artefacts that defined an era of British television and fashion.
Shot on moody backdrops across Manchester, Cheshire and Lancashire – think Castlefield, Victoria Baths, Arley Hall and more – Peaky Blinders wasn’t just a drama, it was a mood. And now, through this unique auction, you can take home a piece of the show’s visual legacy.
“The craftsmanship, history, and star power behind these garments is exceptional,” says Dan Muscatelli-Hampson, auction manager at Omega Auctions. “We’re honoured to host this event and to be helping such a vital cause in the process.”
The show’s visual punch was no accident. Warrington native Stephanie Collie set the tone in the early series, while later episodes bore the bold, evocative stamp of Glasgow’s Alison McCosh. Their design work didn’t just influence the screen – it bled into the streets, with a fashion resurgence that saw everything from high-street collections to David Beckham’s own Peaky-inspired line.
This isn’t the first time the show has backed The Christie either. Back in 2019, Cillian Murphy himself donated Tommy’s coat from Series 3 and a hat from Series 5 for a fundraising ball. This latest gesture builds on that legacy – all while anticipation heats up for the Peaky Blinders feature film, set to drop this autumn.
As Marie Toller, Head of Philanthropy at The Christie Charity, puts it: “This is a ‘dream come true’ for fans – but more than that, it’s a powerful way to support cancer patients and life-changing research.”
To mark the auction’s climax, a themed event will take place on Tuesday 20 May at the Peaky Blinders bar on Manchester’s Peter Street. Expect a night of costumes, cocktails, and capers – fans are encouraged to dress the part. Think flat caps, razor-sharp tailoring and 1920s glamour. Entry is free, but advance tickets are essential.
So whether you’re in it for the fashion, the nostalgia, or to back a brilliant cause – now’s your moment. Grab your bidding cap, pour a whiskey, and by order of the Peaky Blinders… make it count.
