lumbersexual
Flannel-clad urbanite
A lumbersexual is an urban man who cultivates a rugged, outdoorsy aesthetic—thick beard, flannel shirts, work boots—without actually doing manual labor or spending time in the wilderness.
The term combines lumberjack with metrosexual, suggesting the style is as carefully maintained as any fashion trend: He's got the full lumbersexual look but has never touched an axe.
