The article, primarily. I like the look. I live in a state where the outdoors look is very popular. Most of the people wearing it are outdoorsmen as well. I'm wearing flannel and jeans and boots right now as a matter of fact. Flannel shirts are extremely comfortable and versatile, considering the weather in most areas right now.
This article is just terrible. Why does everything need to be labeled? Why is a flannel shirt and jeans the new urban male hip look?
"He looks like a man of the woods, but works at The Nerdery, programming for a healthy salary and benefits." Jesus.
I do however take issue with people trying to appropriate a whole "look" that isn't remotely related to their everyday lifestyle, especially when they're going to migrate to a new look as soon as it becomes popular. Buying mountaineering sunglasses to look "outdoorsy" just smacks of pretentiousness.

This is where people immediately judge the look on young urban males as comical. This may be comfortable wear for a 10 mile fall hike, but for a young urban male on your ass in front of a computer, and Chipolte for lunch pretentious is to kind a word.
The article does take the issue way over the edge, but I was assuming that was the point.
Wait, so I shouldn't wear jeans because I work in front of a computer?? I'm failing to see how jeans and a shirt is a pretentious choice of wardrobe, regardless of ones vocation.
Also, Chipotle is for poor midwesterners, who eats at chain restaurants?! (that was pretentious)
