Lumberjack shirt 2.0
While we've featured numerous stylish, Swedish-inspired clothes for kids by Polarn O. Pyret on Cool Mom Picks since they came to US shores last year, this reversible plaid lumberjack shirt was my first personal experience with their clothing. And let me just say, I now totally get the hype.


At first glance, you might think that it looks similar to a wool plaid shirt that you might see on bearded men wielding axes. However, this super soft 100% cotton boys lumberjack shirt is a far cry. This comfy button down snaps with ease, and reverses from the more traditional black and white plaid to a fun blue and green combo. Unlike too many so-called reversible shirts I've seen, both sides are indeed created equally cool and equally wearable.

If the price tag seems a little steep, keep in mind that you really are getting two incredibly well-made shirts in one. And since my son wears his almost every day, that means I wash it almost every day. And it still looks as fantastic as the day I pulled it out of the bag. Sold! -Kristen

Purchase the reversible lumber jack button down at Polarn O. Pyret. And make sure you're a Cool Mom Picks subscriber! We're giving away two $125 Polarn O. Pyret gift cards to two of you at the end of the month.
