muttonchop

Lamb cut, cheek-side

Muttonchops are a style of facial hair where sideburns grow thick and wide down the cheeks, sometimes connecting to a mustache but leaving the chin clean-shaven.

The shape resembles a cut of mutton.

The style was fashionable in the 19th century and now reads as deliberately retro: He grew muttonchops for his Civil War reenactment.
