SEVENTIES CHOCOLATE





Evening all, how's everyone doing? As you can see tonight I'm gracing you all with another little gem. I found this amazing chocolate coloured leather while out shopping in my hometown a few weeks ago, and how damn cool does it look on! The colour is the best part of this jacket, closely followed by its rounded seventies style collar! I just think the brown leather is to die for, I've really fallen in love with this super cool jacket and its retro vibe!






I wore this outfit when out in Newcastle last week, and apart from nearly blending in with some old leather sofas in a pub I'd say the outfit worked a treat! I felt pretty good strutting around town in this seventies inspired look. I chose a small detailed scarf in an awesome tiger print pattern to complement the leather, which I threw on over the top of a white knitted tee from Zara. Paired with a western pointed belt I think the outfit looks vintage yet still pretty on trend, different as well as being pretty individual.







The leather colour and style reminded me of the jacket Leonardo DiCaprio wears in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood playing character Rick Dalton. I really love the new Tarantino film, even just for the wardrobe alone, I mean who wouldn't want to own all that killer 70's fashion in my wardrobe?

VINTAGE 70'S LEATHER FIND






Hey guys, I'm back with another new one and this week I'm talking about a vintage leather I picked up from Liverpool. I love vintage shopping, it's something I do often. You go out not expecting anything, then you stumble upon a retro gem you couldn't live without, and that's exactly what happened to me a few weeks ago. 



I found this amazing maroon leather jacket in COW Liverpool, a vintage shop right in the middle of bustling Bold Street. I like to look through both the men and women sides of the shop, so as I was following CJ through the endless rails of vintage clothing I spotted this 70's gem. It fit like a glove, not normally the case when buying second-hand as its usually not so tailored, but this was a very rare exception. There's nothing worse than finding the best things, trying them on and it all just fitting terribly. Fortunately with this jacket, it was definitely meant to be and I knew I had to buy it there and then!






I love the cut and panelling of the jacket, it has that cowboy-esque look, the sharp angles and curves of the leather sections are very western, I bloody love it. The colour is also something I fell for, injecting a vintage palette into my wardrobe is exactly what I needed. Don't get me wrong, I like my black leathers but sometimes you just want a change, especially as Autumn is fast approaching.






I wanted to reflect where the piece had originally started its life, so I chose to go very retro with this look. I decided on wearing my darted collar shirt over the leather which looks like its straight out of a 1970's Carnaby Street. Of course, not forgetting an iconic piece from that era, a pair of flares (which are actually CJ's) to capture the look.

This is also the first time I've worn my scarf from Good Morning Keith - which up to this point I haven't found an outfit it's worked with enough until this one. I think the colours really complement one another and it's the perfect finishing touch to my 70's inspired outfit. I added my vintage inspired belt from Savage and took my white Cuban's for a walk to top the outfit off.
