tache

Old-fashioned clasp device

A tache is a mustache, clipped in casual British speech: He's grown a proper tache.

The spelling reflects the pronunciation of the shortened form.

Less commonly, tache is an archaic or dialectal word for a clasp, buckle, or fastening—a sense now rarely encountered outside historical texts.
