chest hair
Manly torso growth
Chest hair is the hair that grows on the front of a man's torso, typically appearing during and after puberty.
The amount and distribution varies considerably among individuals and ethnic groups, ranging from sparse patches to dense coverage extending from the collarbone to the abdomen.
Chest hair has been variously fashionable and unfashionable; some men cultivate it as a sign of masculinity while others remove it for aesthetic or athletic reasons.
