Why I Chose Thomas Shelby
Tommy Shelby is a cosplay character throughout the Peaky Blinders show and the recent film, The Immortal Man. His personal demons make his intriguing and his fashion style is one I absolutely adored. Thus I decided for a more for fun and even comfortable cosplay, I wanted to rep him with a costume. I even timed it for just after the movie released at C2E2 2026.
How I Made Thomas Shelby
While most of this costume was purchased, I did 3D print and paint a few parts including my pocket watch jewelry, pistol and the razor blades for the peak of the cap. I also sewed and patterned a holster to wear as well.
Final Thoughts
This truly was a very comfortable costume to wear and I really loved how the photos turned out. It’s simple the but style Tommy has just gives me a big ego. It also was great to pay tribute by timing this with the movie and the end of the line for our favorite gangster.
