Bonobos has made my hairless upper lip's dream come true with their Mustache Cords. Bonobos is supporting the bygone month of MANuary with a mustached capsule collection dedicated to defeating prostate cancer.
The MANuary collection consists of a pair of khaki cords and a leather belt, each bearing iconic 'staches. The Mustache Cords are covered from head-to-toe in little black mustaches that are modeled after the famous facial hair of the world's greatest video game characters, detectives, Casanovas and sports stars. With each pair of Mustache Cords purchased, Bonobos will donate 20 percent of the funds to country's leading prostate cancer organization ZERO. Even if you missed MANuaray, you can still pick up a pair of these Mustache Cords to prep yourself for the coming month of Movember. Seven months will go by sooner than you think.
