Pancho Villa Mustache

The Pancho Villa is the mustache equivalent of a mic drop - bold, unmistakable, and impossible to ignore. This dramatic style features thick, full growth that extends well past the corners of the mouth, drooping down in a horseshoe shape that says 'I've seen things.' It's bushier and more substantial than a Fu Manchu, with the gravitas of a revolutionary and the presence of a Western legend.

Etymology & History

Named after the Mexican Revolutionary general Pancho Villa (1878-1923), though ironically, the historical Villa's actual mustache was more modest than the style that bears his name.
