A 31-YEAR-OLD man who regularly wears plaid shirts is misrepresenting himself as rugged.

The manliness of finance analyst Tom Logan has come under scrutiny after his family told press that he wears chunky flannel shirts with the sleeves rolled up to disguise himself as outdoorsy.

His father Nigel Logan said: “Tom is living a lie. He comes from a long line of weedy, pallid men who are shit at lighting barbecues.

“By wearing these shirts in public, he is essentially trying to disguise himself as a tough and practical alpha male, such as Desperate Dan or Steve Jones from T4. It’s just not on.”

Logan’s adopted brother Stephen said: “The irony is that I am actually a quarter lumberjack – my grandfather was a Canadian logger.

“Whenever I leave the house with Tom, he always tells me, ‘Don’t blow my cover – if anyone asks, I chop wood for a living'”.

Logan himself said: “I don’t care what my family says – I am a lumberjack.

“Lumberjackness is not about whether or not you cut down trees on a regular basis; Lumberjackness is a state of mind.”
