Oh, and speaking of mustache-themed jewelry, let’s continue that theme today…
I love Kickstarter. It’s such a cool idea. People post a project or product they want to make happen and other people kickstart the project by backing the project with money.
AoM Community member Ryan Lee Waldron shared this awesome project from a pair named Jennifer and Eddie. It’s the Mustache Tie Clip. I want one for Christmas. But for that to happen, Jennifer and Eddie need the funds to get this business off the ground.
Their goal is $3,000 and they’ve collected $2,256 so far. With five days to go, they need just a small push to reach their goal. If you’d like to see this product on the market, wander on over and donate a dollar or two. If you pledge $25, you’ll be able to buy a mustache tie-clip at a discounted price.

Fancy this article being posted today — I’m from Canada, and over here we don’t really have this… erm, fascination (??) with mustache themed things. Maybe I have overlooked this whole thing somehow, but while shopping in the States this weekend I noticed piles of shirts, shot and beer glasses, jewelry, wallets, etc etc etc with mustaches on it. WTF is up with that?
I need to get myself one of those ties!
I’m not really sure about spending $25 to get a discount. The wedding package (“PLEDGE $200 OR MORE
The Wedding Package! Inspired by one of our backers, this pack consists of 5 stainless steel and 5 gunmetal moustache tie clips for all the groomsmen. At your discretion, we’ll feature you on our blog and wish you a custom congratulations our site!”) and so on seem like better ways of handling it.
Having a mustache tie clip to proclaim your manliness is like having a licence plate that says corvette on your corvette is redundant.
Now having a Jag or Aston Martin tie clip does define that at least you know enough to want one. Having one of their keys on your appropriate fob is a high probability indication!
Having had a mustasche of varying proportions for 39 years while working in varying levels of military and government scrutiny I’ve always let the mustache itself, speak for itself, so to speak (is that redundant or what?) no need to adorn the tie, my immediate view, but it’s not a baaaaaad idea; flip floppy answer? sound like I’ve spent too much time in government? agree. Too much time with a mustache? nope, just what the craggy face of experience needs, weekends, work days, retirement, what have you.
Great! What’s next?!?!
