Chin curtain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The chin curtain beard (or Donegal) is a particular style of facial hair that grows along the jaw line and covers the chin completely. This is not to be confused with the chinstrap—a style of beard that also grows along the jaw line, although does not fully cover the man's chin. This style of facial hair was made famous by individuals such as Abraham Lincoln. It is also worn by married Amish men.

[edit] Famous or notable chin curtains

• Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States
• The Amish are known for their plain dress and limited use of modern conveniences. Because moustaches were so identified with the military, and Amish are pacifist, they shave their upper lip.
