Mustache Combos

Here are some nice combinations of facial hairstyles to go with a mustache: the Fu Manchu with long sideburns; the downy tuft on the chin with a close-cropped mustache; and the under chin thing with a mustache.

Whiskers Under the Chin

I wonder how this particular style came about. Was it meant to cover a scar? Or an unsightly adam's apple? Dirty collars?
