Discover with Polynesia the keys to give yourself a trendy lumberjack style with your favorite plaid shirt and break the mold!
WHAT IS THE LUMBERJACK STYLE?
This particular style is characterized by replicating the work attire used by woodcutters in the forests of Northern Europe and America. It comes from the English lumberjack , which means lumberjack . The tough tasks these workers faced required sturdy clothing to protect them from inclement weather. The first flannel shirts with the iconic red and black check print appeared in the United States in the mid-19th century . These quickly became popular with Lumberjacks for their practicality, warmth, and design .
The print of the lumberjack shirts has its origin in the tartans , a plaid pattern that the Scottish clans used to differentiate themselves from the rest. In 1746 they were banned by the British government in order to prevent rebellions and control the clans, which is why many Scots emigrated to North America. 40 years later, the ban was lifted, thus the tartan became a symbol of the Scottish people .
Already in the twentieth century, the grunge movement of the 90s and the hipster styles of the 2000s , revive a renewed lumberjack style that gathers that original functionality together with the trends of the moment, becoming an essential garment in street style looks.
