’Grunge the Lumberjack, blue by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4694786): Grunge the Lumberjack in Bavarian blue: channeling the grimy flannel, smelly-caveman, ratty rec-room, Seattle chic grunge look. © Su Schaefer 2015 (this one is for my husband) Color variation of my entry in the ‘90s Nostalgia Contest’ (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4535787) which placed 13th (out of 185 total entries). © Su Schaefer 2015, with thanks to Sean Conaty for his excellent plaidmaker software (https://www.plaidmaker.com). Printed beautifully on basic cotton - see the thumbnail (double click for a clearer view). A classic blue (Bavarian blue), black and white flannel plaid with grimy textural overlays, channeling 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.
