Red Dead Redemption 2 players have a large number of clothing options from which they can choose. From a variety of jackets, to a number of different pant options and preplanned outfits, players can make their own Arthur Morgan. Because of this variety, players have been able to create some unique outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2. In the latest example, one player brought the classic Peaky Blinders gang to the American Wild West.
Though there are fewer creative options in Red Dead Redemption 2 than there are in Red Dead Online, players still have a number of clothing options to choose from. Peaky Blinders is a British period crime drama centered on a crime family in England just after the First World War. The show is based on an actual street gang of the same name.

The Peaky Blinders gang aesthetic includes a signature overcoat as well as a peaked flat cap, and this recreation matches that well. The Reddit user has their Arthur Morgan in typical Peaky Blinders pants with a button waistcoat as well. These choices make for an outfit that fits the commonly worn look of those in the actual gang from the late 19th and early 20th century. The dark colors in this outfit matches well with the historical photos and cast outfits from the show. In the post, the title gives Arthur Morgan a new name with this new look as well: Arthur Shelby. This is in reference to the boss of the gang in the British show.
Though the outfit matches the look really well, it is unlikely that the Van der Linde gang and the real Peaky Blinders would get along. Though both used violence and robbery as part of their usual repertoire, the Peaky Blinders were incredibly successful and stayed a powerful force in their city for decades. As impressive as some of the Van der Linde gang's successes were in Red Dead Redemption 2, it is likely that the real-life Blinders would toss them aside.
Players of Red Dead Redemption 2 have the limited ability to influence how their character looks and that has led to some impressive styles. Giving players the ability to adjust their character's looks helps tie them to the character without allowing for incredibly morphed creations. It is because of this that Red Dead Redemption 2 handles character creation perfectly for some players.
But the lack of total freedom can be irksome for others. For those looking to put themselves in the game, Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't exactly offer too many options. Either way, this Peaky Blinders build looks fantastic and that gang would be lucky to have the services of Arthur Morgan.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
