Ron's definitions
A chiv is very closely related to a pikey and indeed is all pikey, a subset of pikey, if you will.
The main difference is that a chiv's favourite style of casual-wear is Burberry.
Burberry baseball caps are a favourite amongst chivs but you do see Burberry shirts, shorts, shoes etc and very rarely you may spot a truly hardcore chiv bedecked head-to-toe in Burberry....nnnnnice.
A secondary difference is that a chiv is generally more stupid and therefore more vicious than a pikey...watch out...doubly nnnnice.

Check out that chiv fool on the other side of the street in his Burberry pyjamas.
There were a bunch of proper chivs hanging by that BMW...doubt it's there anymore.

Get the chiv mug.
Supposedly now in the OED. When asked Will Smith, who invented the word, said it was "Nuclear Cool". Taking something to next level over just being cool. Also used as an adjective, associating cool the word it modifies.
