Jon Chattman - Sweet stache: 50 Badass Mustaches and the Faces Who Sport Them

What Theyre Saying about Sweet Stache

If you read only ONE book about pop culture mustaches let it be this one.... Unless you can find another one but I highly doubt it. Chattman and Tarantino are the Woodward and the Bernstein of pop culture mustaches.

Paul Scheer, MTVs Human Giant

A mustache book has redeeming social values as a cautionary tale: proving not everybody looks good with one!

Alan Thicke, Growing Pains

The facial hair book of the year! This is without a doubt the finest book on facial hair I have ever read. I await the authors tome on nose hairs with eager anticipation.

Brian Kiley, Emmy Awardwinning writer of
Late Night with Conan OBrien

A funny thing happened to me on my way into the jungle one day. I spied a monkey with a long, flowing handlebar mustache! It was an emperor tamarin, and I really have no idea why this diminutive monkey was sporting such a push broom. I guess Ill have to pick up Sweet Stache to understand why!

Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus, Columbus Zoo,
and television wild-animal correspondent

Soup-straining reads like Sweet Stache, are helping the mustache experience a modern-day renaissance after cookie dusters nearly disappeared from existence at the tail end of the 1970s.

Aaron Perlut, executive director of the American Mustache Institute

The journey of growing and cultivating a mustache is one you can live your whole life. It only gets better with every mustache. In Sweet Stache we learn of the legacy of the mustache, and the men who have helped pave the road for a brighter, hairier, and more lip-conscious future.... First it grows on youthen it grows on everyone else. Im talking about the mustache... and also this amazing collection of mustachesknown as Sweet Stache.

Jay Della Valle, director/producer of the documentary,
The Glorius Mustache Challenge

I thought I knew everything about mustaches... I mean, I am gay with cable... then I read Sweet Stache.

ANT, host of Last Comic Standing and VH-1s Celebrity Fit Club

Reflecting back through the greats of stache history, many names come to mindFrank Viola, Keith Hernandez, Don Mattingly, our dads, and even the Hulkster himself Hulk Hogan. While each man rocks a different facial hair sculpture, one fact remains constant among them.... A man with a good stache, is a good-stached man... and a good-stached man with this book is even cooler.

Covino, Rich, and Spot of The Covino & Rich Show
on Sirius XM Satellite Radio

If you read only one book on celebrity facial hair this year, make it this one. I promise you will never look at mustaches or celebrities or books the same way ever again.

Richard Dresser, playwright and television writer

(Good Vibrations, Below the Belt, and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd)

There are celebrity mug shots everywhere. You see hair and makeup publications and TV shows all the time. Sure, how about focusing on that caterpillar? Its right there in the centerbulls eyetwelve o clock right in the middle of their face. Im going to have to go with Tom Selleck having the best mustache ever, because it totally dominated anything else that he ever did. Thats all I will ever remember him for is that mustache first, and his Hawaiian shirt second.

Rob Van Dam, innovative wrestler
and host of RVD TV on robvandam.com

[This book] is here to help. Facial hair can be traumatic when left undefined. Hector Aranguren, my Colombian best friend, had a black mustache and a deep voice by eleven years old. It would be six years before I sprouted two small pale whiskers on my own lip, and he teased me for that entire time. He is currently in jail for selling cocaine.

Greg Fitzsimmons, comedian and Emmy Awardwinning writer

I hate facial hair (unless its on Johnny Depp), but I love this book.

Comedienne Wendy Liebman

Sweet Stache iswithout questionthe best mustache book the world has ever seen. For years I have worn a goatee, but thanks to Chattman and Tarantinos hairy findings, I plan on immediately rushing to the nearest barber and asking for a John Oates.

Jeff Pearlman, New York Times best-selling author of
Boys Will Be Boys and The Bad Guys Won

As we all know, education saves lives, and this book is no different. It is only in our very recent history in the age of the modern man where the mustache has not had such a comfortable place in certain parts of the world. Just as my charity work for Movember unites the world again with the mustache to fight for greater mens health through a month-long growing journey, this book will do the same. It is TheGreat Gatsby of mustaches, and soon enough there will be fountains of hair spilling from the upper lips of men everywhere as the inspiring words in these pages spread to finally help people understand where the mustache belongs... worn proud among the beautiful men of this world. The heart of mans health is his mo. Just like a Labrador, a luxurious mustache shows the good health and great lover that he is. May your sausages be hot and your mo thick.

Jim BBQ, Movember international grooming ambassador

(Movember.com)

This book fills a much-needed void. Its a necessary one in the annals of literature. My own personal favorite celebrity mustache would be Groucho Marxs. To watch this middle-aged man smoking his cigar, batting his eyebrows, and chasing young women around sans the mustache just would not feel right. Groucho Marx gave me many hours of pleasure with his movies, and Sweet Stache, I am sure, will bring you lots of pleasure, too.

Midnight Madness, and voice-over talent
