The Dapper Man’s Guide to Beardcraft and Moustachery

There are a lot of amazing beard charts out there, but this one is certainly one of the best conceived and executed. For one, it has over 150 variations of beardcraft and moustachery. Also, Jamie Reed expertly screen printed it with black & metallic silver — how tough is that? And screen prints are what folks in the ’90s would refer to as “da bomb” and still make graphic designers swoon today. And there is a key!

How many can you identify?


Unfortunately, The Dapper Man’s Guide to Beardcraft and Moustachery is all sold out. Show Reed some love and check out the very beardy The King of Town print of Ambrose Everett Burnside showing off his sweet shades, only available at Human Shaped Robot.

A man in black, a boy named Sue, a heartwarming father-son song and, of course, a beard. Gotta love Uncle Shelby.

Happy Father’s Day.
