Radio Hikerdelic #05

We're back with a fresh instalment of our playlist series, this time it's something a little different. A heady mixture of club sounds, past and present. Happy listening.

When you set out to create a brand that plays on the word psychedelic, the colour black isn't at the forefront of your mind. That said, not everyone is into bright colours and it was always a matter of time before we embraced our dark side. We headed to the appropriate location of the Dark Peak in Derbyshire to put our black-themed capsule collection to the test. Comprising of a stealthy Conway Smock, Hiking Pants to match, plus warmth provided by optional Black Puffer and Gilet, we've got you covered for those times when you want to go unnoticed. Shop the collection here.

Hikerdelic x Yogi Eric Shoes on Manchester Cobbled Street

Hikerdelic x Yogi Eric Shoes Take 1

The business of photoshoots is fraught with unpredictability, especially in February. Imagine you've got some lovely shoes ready for pounding the dusty pavements of summer, but you're relying on Mancunian weather to behave itself. It's not going to end well is it? And yet, we couldn't let these smashing shots go to waste. In many ways they're that bit more appropriate because let's face it, the British summer time will probably look a lot more like this than the sun-drenched streets we're imagining. See more of our Yogi x Hikerdelic shoes here.

Classic T-Shirt Design, Department of Hikerdelia

The Heritage of Hikerdelic

Hikerdelic? It's a weird one, really.It all began with a tweet.Shortly after tweeting this I received a text from a friend in 'the industry' who suggested I get the word Hikerdelic trademarked quickly. I laughed. As if. It was just a throwaway tweet. We used the word more and more until eventually, it became a bit of a thing. This was no doubt aided by us working with people like Ben Lamb and Topo Designs on magazine and t-shirt projects such as this... This was in May 2013. Things had crawled on rather than moved on. By early 2016, our day job as editors of Proper Magazine was ready to become a full-time thing. It was time to take some sort of ownership of Hikerdelic. It was time to get a bit more serious about the whole thing. It's taken a while but Hikerdelic is now a real, living, breathing brand which stands on its own two feet, with seasonal collections and collaborations with brands we've loved for ages. A team of five have a hand in the design process, with myself and Neil Summers taking a lead just as we do with the magazine.
