Bearded men

Know for:
Excessive thick facial hair—and usually arm, chest and back hair. The bearded male population tends to be at its peak during the colder winter months. They are a burly tribe (sometimes called bears) and are often perceived to be tougher and more violent than they actually are. In reality, the scruffian is typically cuddlier than he looks and is just searching for a mate.

Patron Saint:
Tim Harrington of New York–based band Les Savy Fav has a bushy, yetilike face-do. He also has a fantastic show on pitchfork.com appropriately named Beardo.
