'Grunge the Lumberjack in Holz- or Wood-Feller Green by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4694851): Channeling the grimy flannel, 'smelly-caveman', 'ratty rec-room', 'Seattle chic' grunge look. © Su Schaefer 2015.

Another thumbnail shows one of Smash Ups Design Co.'s "signature tanks" - super stylish active wear for both boys + girls, in modern edgy patterns + trademark "smashed-up" style (see more at smashupsdesignco on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/smashupsdesignco/)). This classic manly green, black and white flannel plaid with grimy textural overlays, channels the grunge look of the early 1990s, described by Rick Marin in a NY Times piece in 1992 as: “the smelly-caveman look”, “ratty rec-room chic”, with “the boho-hobo staples of second-hand attire” including “ripped jeans, untucked flannel and stomping boots”. The components of the look were cheap, durable and timeless – rather than chosen for their high fashion statements. "It wasn't like somebody said, 'Let's all dress like lumberjacks and start Seattle chic!'" according to Jonathon Poneman (a founder of Sub Pop - credited with inventing ‘grunge’). “Grunge: A Success Story” by Rick Marin, published November 15, 1992 in the New York Times.
