Walrus Mustache
The Walrus mustache is the grizzly bear of facial hair—massive, untamed, and commands respect from a distance. This beast of a mustache droops over the upper lip like its marine mammal namesake, creating a curtain of hair that says 'I've seen things' and 'I probably brew my own beer.'

Named after the walrus for its resemblance to the Arctic marine mammal's distinctive whiskers. First popularized in the late 1800s by men who needed their mustaches to keep their lips warm during winter.
