Canadian lumber jacket? What?
Hi there,
This is a random question out of curiosity. I just did a quick search of "canadiense" after reading it for the first time. I found out that it meant canadian as I thought. However, further down the page I came across the term "chaqueta canadiense" which apparently translates into "lumber jacket." As an anglophone canadian I still do not understand the term lumber jacket. I'm picturing flannel. Is it a common term elsewhere?

We don't use that term here in NZ but apparently they look like this.
I rather think that the term has been misinterpreted ,enter link description here
a " Lumber Jack "or " lumberjack " is a " woodcutter" or
a man who works at cutting down trees.
