The Gentlemen Are Back: Guy Ritchie's World, In Tweed

The Gentlemen Are Back: Guy Ritchie's World, In Tweed

The Gentlemen is back on Netflix, and Eddie Horniman's wardrobe is doing almost as much work as the plot. Season 2 finds him further from the army officer he once was and further into the world he inherited — an estate, a title, and a business he never asked for. The clothes have followed him there: heavier tweed, sharper tailoring, a wardrobe built for a man who was raised for boardrooms and now keeps rather different company.

It's a look with real roots. Long before it belonged to television, this was the uniform of the English landed class — practical cloth for a shooting weekend, cut with enough precision to still hold up at the dinner table after. What Guy Ritchie's world does well is put that wardrobe under pressure, and let the tension show. That's the aesthetic we've built this edit around.

The aristocrat's uniform, properly made

Tweed only works when the cloth is doing the talking. A herringbone or Donegal weave, brushed rather than boarded, has the texture and depth that separates "country tailoring" from costume. It's the same principle behind everything we make at Laird — material and construction first, styling second.

Our tweed accessories collection is built on that logic: pieces cut from the same weight and character of cloth an estate wardrobe would actually use, not a lighter, cheaper stand-in.

The flat cap and baker boy: the estate's working uniform

Before the tailoring gets sharp, there's the flat cap and baker boy — the pieces that read as inherited rather than bought, worn on the estate grounds long before anyone's sitting down for dinner. It's the shape doing the most visible work in The Gentlemen's wardrobe this season, and the one viewers are searching for most. We work in the same brushed wools and tweeds as the rest of the edit, cut close and unstructured enough to look like it's been worn for years rather than one season.

The trilby: aristocrat by day, something else by evening

If there's one shape that carries the Halstead Estate's double life, it's the trilby — structured enough for daylight formality, worn low enough to read as something more guarded after dark. Ours are hand-blocked in fine felt, finished with a clean brim edge and a grosgrain band that holds its shape through years of wear, not one season.

The top hat, for the occasions the estate still demands

Inheritance comes with obligations — weddings, funerals, race days, the formal calendar that doesn't stop just because the family business has changed. Our top hats are built for exactly that register: structured silk or fur felt, finished by hand, designed to be worn once a season and last for decades.

Built to be inherited, not replaced

There's a fittingly on-theme argument for the way we build hats: they're meant to outlast the person who bought them. Every piece in this edit comes with access to our bespoke and repair service — reblocking, re-banding, and reshaping over years of wear. It's the same logic as the estate itself: worth maintaining, not worth replacing.

Dress like the title was never really the dangerous part

The Gentlemen Season 2 is streaming now on Netflix. The tweed, the trilby, and the quiet confidence of a wardrobe that was never meant to be questioned — that part, you can have today.
