'stache #13 - the orange 'stache






Thought to fend off scurvy, the orange moustache was as common as salted meats and buggery among 18th century transatlantic sailors. While its disease fighting properties remain inconclusive, its stylishness has never been in doubt, with the brief exception of the bad old days when Gram Parsons left his snooty Florida family grove to sing country and play the dandy in his nudie suit. Often paired with a black t-shirt and blue jeans, the orange moustache remains a statement ‘stache.

The orange moustache may be worn year round in the northern hemisphere. You can see here it is modeled from streets of Hollywood to the Ivory Tower.
