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.Actually, I was feeling a little bit lumber-metrosexual-something this week because I laundered my sawyer's chaps.
The oil-filler cap fell out last week, and bar oil went all over my left leg. You expect oil on your chaps, but this particular big oil stain embarrassed me. Also, I had to pay $7 for a brand new Stihl cap at Bubba's TrueValue hardware.
The MetroJack has even been seen wearing pieces inspired from mountaineering. He might be wearing a Patagonia heritage jacket, or some technical Cordura nylon pants that look great in the low light of the bar, but also provide protection from a chain-saw blade [sic].If these dudes start wearing Kevlar chaps, though, you can color me surprised.
You gotta get close enough to smell them. If they don't smell like chain saw exhaust they're not the real thing.
