R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen: June 29, 1920 - May 7, 2013

Famous Moustaches

Everything to go with the lid when going to the office, a night on the town and special occasions. Looking sharp in your vintage/retro clothing has never been so easy... This is also your table to discuss and contribute to the conversations about reproducing the "Great Detective" look. Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon" and William Powell in "The Thin Man" are just two great examples!

Also known as "Detective Gear"

As of late I find that mine is starting to resemble the one Ian Holm sported in Greystoke, the Legend of Tarzan a little more. Especially as I am trimming the chin whiskers back more for the spring & summer.

I'm sure that is a good thing.

Cheers!

Still not famous, and not quite at that Melchett level but getting there.

Moustache wearing Ben Davidson, from Oakland Raider & Conan the Barbarian fame, has recently passed away at the age of 72.

It's getting better.

I think that by December it'll be where I want it to be and then I can play with the bushiness of it a little.

Anybody else working on their cookie dusters as of late?

Cheers!

And no wonder with a grand moustache like that.
