Right so first off lets get something clear and out of the way, lumber sexuality is not a new comfortable sex position. No way at all. In fact its a new coinage of man and his masculinity. But the two million dollar questions are... IS he real and is he me?

Lets talk about that for a minute.

So lumbersexual is actually a trend in men's attire, said to have emerged brawny and glistening from last decade's zeitgeist, with the blood of the Metrosexual on his hands, the Lumbersexual tempts us all with his big, hard, manly, robust, woodsy sense of style.

Tom Puzak over at GearJunkie said it best in the article "The Rise of the Lumbersexsual" here.

Today, the metrosexual is a disappearing breed being quickly replaced by men more concerned with existing in the outdoors, or the pseudo-outdoors, than meticulous grooming habits.

He is bar-hopping, but he looks like he could fell a Norway Pine.

He looks like a man of the woods, but works at The Nerdery, programming for a healthy salary and benefits. His backpack carries a MacBook Air, but looks like it should carry a lumberjack's axe.

He is the Lumbersexual.

The lumbersexual also goes by the name urban lumberjack, and represent the man that has adopted certain style traits that are typical of the traditional lumberjack. The guy rocking the lumbersexual style definitely has a manly beard, loves to wear plaid flannel shirts, rocks the scruffy unkempt hair look, and pulls off this look utilizing a bit of modern sophistication.
