side-whiskers
Facial hair patches
Side-whiskers are facial hair grown on the cheeks while the chin remains shaved.
The style was fashionable in the nineteenth century, producing varieties like mutton chops and dundrearies.
The term sounds dated now, as the style itself has become uncommon: He cultivated impressive side-whiskers in imitation of his Victorian ancestors.
