Christmas Gift Ideas For Lumbersexuals: 15 Great Gifts Every Wannabe Lumberjack Will Love

Get him what he wants. What he really, really wants.

Chances are, this festive season you’ll be buying presents for at least one chap with an intimidatingly large beard, and a penchant for check shirts (or plaid shirts, if you really insist).

Yes they’re rugged, yes they’re outdoorsey, but deep down these men are hipsters and, as such, they’ll reject the notion of being a Lumbersexual. Why wouldn’t they? It’s a really, really stupid word, after all.

But we’re not here to debate the merits of a catch-all term for these musky, bearded giants-among-men. Oh no. We’re here to inspire you to buy them the right thing for Christmas.

Here’s the ultimate Lumbersexual Christmas gift guide. And yes, there will be check shirts. Lots of them:

1) Finisterre Kepler Shirt

This classic looking check number from British company Finisterre should be a staple of any lumbersexuals wardrobe.

The combination of 80% cotton and 20% Merino wool, the Kepler is both comfortable and hard wearing, so whether you’re out chopping wood, or enjoying an open fire in a hip pub, you’ll be equally at home in this shirt.

£ 95 from Finisterre

2) Levi 501

Is there a more iconic pair of trousers anywhere in the world? Even Martians would recognise a paid of Levi 501’s.

There’s a reason why these jeans have never gone out of fashion, and that’s because they’re absolutely timeless. You can dress them up or down with ease, and be rest assured that they go just perfectly with a check shirt. Available in a while reange of colours, but we love the blue and black ones.

Every wanna be lumberjack needs an Axeman in their locker. Or, in lieu of a locker, their wardrobe. Designed for both function and style, this bergundy waffle-knit jumper will keep you comfortable and ensure heard keep turning your way.

5) Finisterre Domus Shirt

This is a heavy hitter of a shirt from Finisterre. It’s inspired my military peacotes, and has a sleek, modern look.
