They didn't sew them in their caps safety razors were new and expensive if they were going to use razors it would have been cut throats like Werner said.
thanks for the info...i'm drunk and saw some shorts of peaky blinders and wanted to know something about it...probably will never watch the shows but damn they look cool
Like most have noted, with few exceptions most men were short. Definitely due to the poor nutrition. Think the tallest man shown was 5’10”. Most were between 5’0” and 5’6”. Gang should have been called the Peeky Smurfs
Yeah that would most definitely take you out from my dealings with the streets the short dudes were the most violent I'm 6 "2 and can handle myself and bounced in clubs and you think the biggest guy is running the outfit I think not Lol
Fun fact They actually didn’t have razor blades in there hat, razor blades weren’t even around then, they got the name from wearing there hats to the side blinding them in one eye cause the hat was so low
Well actually they used clip on ties that they would iron so sharp that they could be used as a short sword where they would rob blind folks for their reading glasses.
Regular shaving razors have been around for century’s, a folding blade 5-6 inches long, sharp enough to shave hair, big enough to remove a head. You can bet any gang member in those days probably was carrying one.
It seems the series gang conducted a higher level of crimes than the real one, either way the character of Thomas Shelby performed so well he has been approached by some high level producers to make a movie. The way he puffs on those cigarettes makes me want to start smoking again :-)
@Kickyourcandyass totally agree, I strike a match just to get smoke in the air . I can only imagine how delicious those non filters tasted. He must get a lot of offers to play characters who smoke, he does it so Well, I want to see the movie Oppenheimer just for that reason :-)
Interesting it seems there is a razor blade controvesty. Late 1890s they were invented, but holding one as a weapon seems as dangerous to the user as to the victim. It seems this point needs more research.
the peaky blenders out their razor blades in the brim of their hats, and swing the whole hat as a weapon with the razor blade leading the edge. hence, when they cut your face, they'd usually cut your eyes...hence the peaky blinders.
@@NiSiochainGanSaoirsehuh, interesting. I haven't seen the show yet. But I do plan on it after seeing these videos. But interesting to learn where the name came from. I did wonder
It makes no sense to me. Maybe it was symbolic. In Brazil there were times, places and people, to use lead in the hats, used as a sap when times got tough. A tiny blade makes no sense.
I thought the razor blades-in-the-cap thing was a fictional invention, until I read an autobiography of a sailor in the 1930s who talked about "boys from Birmingham with razor blades sewn into their caps". One of these "bad boys" killed the bosun's pet terrier after an argument & so the bosun beat him to death with a wooden mallet.
I seriously hope you would do a video or HOPEFULLY EPISODES about NOTORIOUS AUSTRALIANBUSHRANGERS. Because I believe Australian bushranging history is an excellentexciting period in our country's history. Thank you

I remember how much I loved this show. Then my Granddaddy told me a really cool story about how his Granddaddy used to be a bootlegger during the Prohibition. Turns out we're related to the Romani Lees, the ones who married into the Shelby family. The more you know.

I don't understand the director's interest in the occult, particularly in the last season. Could someone confirm whether the real peaky blinders had that interest?
My understanding is that the fictional Shelby family had some Romani blood (genetically different than Irish) and had also come out of the Irish Traveler community (genetically Irish). Such mixing was not especially common. Not an expert, but I believe the Romani gypsies probably had more mystical, occultist beliefs, but the Irish in general had no shortage of superstitions and supernatural beliefs as well. (Big on curses, for sure.) There's a couple/few vids on YT that get into that. Here's one that really goes into details for 1.5 hours: ruclips.net/video/ak1CTBv5BTY/видео.html
@@nephilimshammer9567 wtf are you on about? If they had any Romani blood in them at all, I can assure you that the belief in ghosts, curses, and telling fortunes were an everyday fact of life.
In season 1 episode 1 ..I believe towards the ending when they are purchasing the horses with the gypsy's /Roma travelers ...and they got into the scuffle with the. 3 men and they spoke in the old Roma language and he said the Shelby's their father was the king of the Roma the translation was not there and it really upset me what they meant to say was their father was the king of the gypsies/Roma just FYI for people to know because the translation wasn't a 100% I wonder why they translated that wrong??the father was the king but the king of what ?? the man said Roma , which is a proper way to say gypsies or travelers Just wanted to let people know that's what he meant that the Shelby's father was the king of the gypsies or the Roma. By the way it's absolutely true story
I saw somewhere that they were using Romanian as opposed to Roma. Not sure why but might have been to make it easier for the actors. And I did wonder about the Gypsy side to the series; why would they put that in there, if there wasn't some link to the truth
@@naughtiusmaximus5057 I think there's a lot of confusion people that don't understand what the show is about it literally is about gypsies Roma or travelers whatever they want to be called but that is exactly who it's about and they were real people but if that's what you're talking about yes it is about that but some people even when you explain in detail who and what these people are and they No they did not originate from India lol still have a hard time understanding it I don't know what to tell you But it is about the gypsies definitely.. And yes in the beginning they spoke the Romanian language from Romania because didn't have the proper linguistics individual to speak the language actual gypsy language and later on in the rest of the episodes they had that finally to keep it true to keep yeah that was kind of embarrassing I thought in the beginning they shouldn't have done that but I guess they learned from their mistake because people were complaining
The only city not ‘taken’ by the Birmingham gang. They tried several times but no joy. I heard the distance - religious fervency too - was also impediment.
Any city without an over active mayor and mayor's wife is doomed to be full of gangs ,and you would be lucky if it's like these peaky blinders ,Birmingham gangs I mean with a head to talk to ,and a non changing loyalty members ,I mean less chaotic chaos, more organized chaos
Did you notice their height? They were. They were 5’2-5’4. I’m a female and I was 5’2 growing up. They probably weren’t very threatening at all to look at them 😊
Chief Opechancanough Powhatan Cornstalk was born on month day 1554, in birth place, Virginia. Chief had 16 siblings: Matoaka Amonute "Rebecca" AKA ' Pocahontas ' Rolfe (born POCAHONTAS POWHATAN), Secotin Powhatan and 14 other
