urban lumberjack

Flannel-wearing hipster

An urban lumberjack is a city dweller who adopts the aesthetic of rural woodsmen—typically a full beard, flannel shirts, work boots, and rugged outdoor gear—without actually felling trees or living off the land.

The term gently mocks the disconnect between appearance and lifestyle: He's never touched an axe, but he's got the full urban lumberjack look going.
