Moustache: The Handlebar Club, Circa 1947

Vintage LIFE Magazine photos from The Handlebar Club‘s inaugural year. The UK group’s qualifications specified “a hirsute appendage of the upper lip, with graspable extremities.” They’re still growing strong today.

Want these sweet silk ‘stache ties? They’ve got new versions for sale on The Handlebar Club online store.

See more pics at BlackWatch. (Thanks, Sarah!)
