One of the sleek suits worn by <a href=\"https:\/\/ilovemanchester.com\/cillian-murphy-lookalike-manchester-peaky-blinders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cillian Murphy<\/a> in the final moments of Peaky Blinders\u2019 sixth and final season, complete with a handwritten script note tucked into the pocket: \u201cTakes off ring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1369\">It\u2019s a poignant memento from a series that gripped millions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-193432 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Oswald-Mosley-Hat-Christie.jpg\" alt=\"Peaky Blinders\" width=\"900\" height=\"594\"  \/>Oswald Mosley\u2019s hat<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1641\">Also going under the hammer: a striking coat worn by the late, great Polly Gray in series three, designed with delicate stitched patterns and full of character; and a handmade fur felt hat, donned by the villainous Oswald Mosley in his chilling portrayal by Sam Claflin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1953\">But that\u2019s just the beginning. The auction catalogue reads like a Peaky Blinders treasure chest: embroidered scarves, velvet and lace flapper dresses, ladies\u2019 shoes, flat caps, riding guards, leather jackets, and rows of waistcoats and ties that defined a generation of rebellious, turn-of-the-century swagger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"2395\">These iconic pieces come from the wardrobes created by the show\u2019s original costume designer, Warrington-born Stephanie Collie, and later shaped by Alison McCosh, whose vision helped the show\u2019s distinctive style evolve into something truly timeless. Their work not only defined the look of the Shelbys but inspired an entire fashion movement, so much so that even <a href=\"https:\/\/ilovemanchester.com\/david-beckham-signs-for-salford-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Beckham<\/a> launched a clothing line channeling the Peaky aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-193438 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Polly-Grays-Coat.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"603\"  \/>Polly Gray\u2019s coat (far right)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2397\" data-end=\"2704\">\u201cThis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,\u201d says Dan Muscatelli-Hampson, auction manager at Omega Auctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2397\" data-end=\"2704\">\u201cThese stunning pieces are genuine cultural artefacts.

And to be raising money for The Christie makes it all the more meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"3186\">Fans of the show will be pleased to know the auction arrives just ahead of the hotly anticipated Peaky Blinders feature film, written by creator Steven Knight and set to premiere later this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"3186\">Star Cillian Murphy has long supported The Christie Charity, previously donating a coat and cap from earlier series to a fundraising ball back in 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"3186\">This new initiative builds on that generosity, promising to raise even more for an organisation close to the show\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>Marie Toller, head of philanthropy at The Christie Charity<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3188\" data-end=\"3434\">Marie Toller, head of philanthropy at The Christie Charity, adds: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly grateful to the Peaky Blinders team for this incredible gesture.
