When I received an e-mail from the 'Jacket Maker', at the beginning of the year, offering me the opportunity of designing my own leather jacket, I jumped at the chance. I wanted something with lots of fringing. I was thinking Harry Styles meets Stevie Nicks (look just what happened at the recent Gucci Cruise show!) to wear to a festival. A few e-mails back and forth and a few months later, voila, here's my western style leather jacket in oxblood red with maximum fringing. Rock on!
I've teamed it with a vintage, dead-stock 1970s yellow blouse with beagle collars I found on eBay, my current favourite jeans from Raey at Matchesfashion.com and some practical hiking boots for all those hours flitting between the bar and the main stage. Bring on the music...

Without the rain, there wouldn't be any rainbows, or so the optimists like to tell us. TheChicGeek ventured into the woods, this week, prepared for all weathers in his new, minimal raincoat. The concealed hood, taped seams and internal pockets makes it perfect for a country ramble. There's nothing as timeless as a grey sweatshirt, but add a gold necklace, baseball cap and sporty looking hiking boots and the look becomes just at home in an urban setting as amongst the bluebells.

The final warm days of autumn are the perfect excuse for TheChicGeek to get on his bike and fill his lungs full of fresh air. Wearing outdoor specialist, Merrell, 'Eagle' boots, TheChicGeek took flight onto his bike and onto a woodland trail.
A superior hiking boot with 80s styling, the Merrell 'Eagle' is great for walking, cycling and with even enough support for running. Here, TheChicGeek, has teamed them with a classic red and white Breton stripe top and cycle trousers with reflective details in a dark slate colour and gives a whole new meaning to 'Fashion Cycle'!
